While Jake is flying a routine job, the Goose's engines fail and he crash lands on an island inside the Japanese Mandate. He is rescued by an Amish woman and her son, who agree to harbor him until he can find a way to radio his friends for help.

Gamble Rogers, a famous American baseball player who also happens to be Jake's boyhood hero, arrives in Bora Gora on his way to play a goodwill baseball game in China. During his stay on the island, a young native girl is raped and murdered in his bedroom. Jake believes he is innocent, and he sets out to find the real killer.
