Up to His Neck

Gunner Carter is a military deserter who has been marooned for ten years on a Pacific island. There he has become their King and lives a life of luxury. That is until one day he is spotted by a destroyer and ‘rescued’. Believing him to be a man who can survive in intolerable conditions, they appoint him as head of a group who are to be sent to attack a stolen submarine. Inevitably it all proves to be a bit of a shock.
