Though his wartime service left him with a bitter hatred for the enemy, an assignment with occupation forces in postwar Japan will transform Sergeant Hugh O'Reilly (Aldo Ray). In a small war-ravaged village, Hugh's growing affection for its many orphans has inspired him to give his time and money for food and shelter, and has led him to a love affair with his translator, Yuko. Already facing her family's vehement opposition, seeing Yuko on the arm of an escort at a charity event turns Hugh against her and the Japanese people. Yet with help from his commanding officer, Hugh finally realizes that he is in love and makes Yuko his bride before returning with her to the States. (official distributor synopsis)
