Synopsis

Kimble, employed as a steward at a secluded desert resort, remains oblivious to the area's true purpose: a clandestine government testing ground for chemical weapons. His attempt to depart is thwarted when Major Beck, the project’s commanding officer, misidentifies him as a spy. A chemical explosion subsequently affects several staff members, including the resort physician, and Kimble is compelled to assist with the wounded, unaware that Beck still intends to betray him to the army general overs
