In 1906 the American army pulls out of Mindanao leaving a handful of officers to try and whip the Philippines' Constabulary into shape to protect the native population from ruthless invaders. By reputation and by their exploits the fearless zealots initially strike terror into the local militia, but the doctor on the post starts to finds ways to combat this. Cooper is solid as an Army medic who solves all of Philippines' medical and military problems almost single-handedly after the destructive Spanish-American War.
