But they are to learn, in the Chinese city of Tsingtao, that the enemy--with a new face-- is still there. Outside Tsingtao Communist troops are waiting to take over. Within the city, The Marines have a three-fold task: to return to the Allies property confiscated by the Japanese; to repatriate the conquered Japanese; and to prevent war with the Communists camped outside the city and constantly infiltrating it.
