Through the heart of Asia, the Burma Road connects Rangoon and Shanghai, serving as a lifeline for the Chinese Army headquartered in Chungking. The road is a treacherous 700 miles long, with trucks carrying vital supplies, including food, munitions, and guns, driven by skilled drivers. The supplies originate from the Burmese boomtown of Lashio, which is the end of the rail line from the west. The story focuses on the trucking of munitions to the Chinese Army under British direction, with some American involvement, but does not mention Japan. Instead, the parachute troops attempting to sabotage the convoy are identified as Chinese insurrectionists.
