Louie is a troublemaker, stealing, drinking liquor
and smoking, to the disappointment of his parents.
One day, Louie is caught looking up women's
dresses from under the bleachers during a track meet. His brother Peter sees
how fast Louie runs away and decides to train him to be a runner.
As he grows, Louie becomes more disciplined and
also becomes an accomplished distance runner, earning him the nickname
"The Torrance Tornado". He qualifies for the 1936 Summer Olympics in
Berlin, Germany. Louie comes in 8th and sets a record for speed in the final
lap in the 5,000 meters race.

1943, Louie, the surviving crew and several
replacements are sent on a search-and-rescue mission with a plane previously
used for spare parts. During the mission, the plane's two left engines fail and
the plane crashes in the ocean. Louie, Mac and Phil survive and live on two
inflatable rafts.

After three days, a search plane flies over but
they are unable to get its attention. They weather a storm and fend off a shark
attack while subsisting on rations, rainwater, birds and fish.

Japanese plane, which strafes and damages the rafts but misses them. On the
33rd day Mac dies.

On the 47th day, Japanese sailors capture Louie
and Phil and they become prisoners of war. Louie's camp, Ōmori, in Tokyo, is
headed by a Japanese corporal, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, who treats him very cruelly,
in part because of Louie's status as a former Olympian and American soldier.

Watanabe is especially tough on Louie (presumably)
out of jealousy and hatred, beating him often. Louie is given an escape from
Watanabe's torture when two Japanese newsmen give him the opportunity to
broadcast a message home saying that he is alive after they learn the US
government classified him as KIA.

When he refuses to broadcast a second message with
anti-American propaganda, he is sent back to camp where Watanabe has each of
the other prisoners punch him to teach him respect.

The prisoners are now put to work loading coal
barges. Louie, exhausted, pauses during work, and Watanabe tells him to lift a
giant piece of wood and orders a guard to shoot Louie if he drops it. Louie
successfully lifts and holds up the wood, angering Watanabe who beats him.

At the end of the war, Louie and the other
prisoners in the camp are set free to return to their homes.
