Они должны научить филиппинских констеблей военным приемам, чтобы защитить местное население от жестоких завоевателей в лице повстанца Алипанга и его банды. Но вся беда в том, что аборигены настолько боятся Алипанга, что от одного его имени местные бойцы впадают в ступор, а без преодоления этого барьера нечего и думать о сопротивлении.
И тогда за дело принимается врач. Сначала он выставляет чучело под именем бандита и каждый солдат должен плюнуть в его сторону, чтобы сломить психологический страх. Этому противится командир Хартли, старый служака, оставшийся за старшего, который не принимает никаких нововведений, кроме муштры…
