Engineers of the Indian contingent have deployed to a remote village in the jungle, originally on a construction mission, have come under sporadic fire from a rebel group. Detailed to assist the Indians, an Uruguayan company is dispatched to clear up what is thought to be only a minor operation when calls on the radio turn frantic as the Indians come under major attack. Handicapped by the safeguarding of a large number of defenceless civilians the Indians can not withdraw. Their only hope are the Uruguayans..
