...North of its An Khe base in the central highlands, a battalion of the 1st Cavalry Airmobile was helilifted into the "happy valley" of Song Con-ironically named because it is so Viet Cong-infested that until now every allied incursion has invariably drawn heavy gunfire. F-100s plastered the valley with 750-lb. bombs and napalm tanks before the 1st Cavalry landed, and rocket-artillery helicopters overhead covered their advance.

...this fellow just happens to have a price of $50,000 on his head for a kidnap-killing he may or may not have committed. The police captain (Gilbert Roland), an embittered tough guy suffering from malaria as well as some of the corniest lines ever delivered in Death Valley, sets out in a truck with Von Sydow and three Mexican assistants to hunt down the fugitives (Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Yvette Mimieux) and claim the reward...
