A priest (William Holden) arrives at a mission post in China accompanied by a young native girl who has joined him along the way. His job is to relieve the existing priest (Clifton Webb) who is now too old and weak to continue with the upkeep of the church. However, communist soldiers arrive at the mission and seize it as a command post. Their leader rapes the native girl and impregnates her, only to realize later that communism is no good for him. In the end, the foursome flees to the border, but they are pursued by communist forces along the way. Weaver Lee lies, berates, demolishes, defiles, beats, and then imprisons the two priests. This movie has quite a bit of objectionable material in it, but none of it is too graphic which is why I gave it the 12+ rating. It is a good, very passionate and intense movie.
