Two Cuban soldiers fighting in the Korean War decide to desert and steal a plane which they end up crash landing on a tropical island. They find it is a militaristic female-dominated society where men are treated as second-class citizens. They are promptly imprisoned. After a series of adventures they eventually take part in a revolution.
