SYNOPSIS
The morale on board a US aircraft carrier at the end of the Korean War is boosted by the arrival of a mixed-race baby rescued from a Korean orphanage. The child's welfare soon becomes the concern of the entire crew as well as the ship's doctor, whose stoical reaction to his wife's recent still-birth is modified by his charge. Based on a true story.
