The World Army of the great American General “Megado” (MacArthur) has made a daring amphibious landing at Inchon to liberate Korea. Near a mountain village, the liberators set up a special encampment called Texas Town, where local women receive them. The disdainful villagers call these women Yankee Wives. Among them is the hero’s mother.
