Baby Blue Marine background

Baby Blue Marine

A former Marine recruit, having struggled to complete basic training, is left humiliated after a brutal mugging at the hands of a battle-hardened Marine Raider.

A young Marine enlistee is discharged due to failing to meet qualifications and wears a light blue uniform indicating his status. He meets a war veteran in a bar who's afraid to be sent back to combat and mugs the young man, taking his clothes and leaving him in the veteran's uniform. The young man, now dressed as a war hero, hitchhikes home but stops in a small Colorado town where people mistake him for a war hero, showering him with freebies. He falls in love with a waitress who invites him to stay with her family. Meanwhile, a nearby camp, supposedly an American-Japanese internment camp, is shown, although there's no evidence of such a camp existing in the area. Later, three American-Japanese teen boys escape from the camp, and the young man is tasked with finding them, amidst a town eager to hunt them down as if they were actual Japanese soldiers.
