Plot

The film follows the adventures of the writer-adventurer Jack London (Michael O'Shea) who was, among other things, oyster pirate, hobo, sailor, prospector and war correspondent.

His travels in pre-war Japan reveal the Japanese aim to rule China, necessitating the domination of the USA and other countries.

The Japanese attitude to even their own people is shown as barbarous.
