Romantic war adventure set against the backdrop of World War II China. Two mismatched fugitives of war, a jaded American newsman and a strong-willed Jewish refugee girl, escape Japanese-occupied Shanghai to reach Free China.

Their stormy relationship ultimately brings them together to save Shanghai's Jewish refugees from Nazi extermination.
