Plot
Steve Daggett ( Cameron Mitchell) fights to protect Fidel Castro from dangerous pro- Batista counterrevolutionaries. Steve comes to Cuba to find his friend Hank Miller (Logan Field) who has been missing for a while. It turns out that he has been captured by Fernando ( Eduardo Noriega), the leader of the pro-Batista forces, who needs Hank to convert their airplanes into bombers. Steve's former girlfriend Monica ( Allison Hayes) is now Mrs. Hank Miller.
