"Johnny Wrigley, a newly minted United States Marine, finds himself on a troop train headed for California - and then to an island in the Pacific where he is going to kill some "Japs" for America. During a brief coffee and donut stop in Kansas City, Johnny finds himself sexually involved with a young girl as innocent as he is. As Johnny fights in a brutal war, then slowly resumes his life back home, he never forgets the girl at the railroad station."
