Summary:

Adrift in the Pacific after their plane is shot down, WWII airmen Alec Brooke and Joe Moore battle thirst and increasing desperation. To keep their spirits up, Alec weaves a story for Joe, his own story of daring boyhood adventures, of the pretty girl he left behind and of his ne'er-do-well uncle's tall tales of the uncharted island of High Barbaree. Then the downed men realize they're drifting toward the supposed location of that fabled isle.
