Al is sent to Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, where he and other Marines defend the island from a Japanese attack. After killing almost 200 Japanese soldiers, Al is blinded by a grenade. Not wanting Ruth to be tied to a helpless man, Al dictates a letter to his nurse breaking off their engagement.
