Synopsis "Look the Other way"

This is a story of an Army Engineer unit assigned to special duty with the Air Force to build a forward air strip, in mid-winter, in South Korea during the 1950-1953 Korean conflict. To build the runway, local villagers rice paddies are being filled in. The replacement land the rice farmers were given has never been used before and has no irrigation ditches. The villagers try to get the Engineers to dig new ditches for them.The Engineer Company Commander realizes the farmers could never dig new irrigation ditches in the frozen ground in time for the next planting season. Because he is a man of conscience, he manages to get himself committed to acquiring 14,000 pounds of rice to tide the villagers over for one year. Getting that much rice turns out to be a seemingly impossible task. That's not his only problem. His First Sergeant would rather snuggle with a bottle of Jim Beam than a woman, and is in a funk about his looming mandatory retirement. The motor pool sergeant knows more about making moon shine whiskey than earth moving machines. The local village, officially off limits, has brothels which provide "relaxation" for the working engineers after a 12-hour daily, six day week. A gung-ho Military Police Lieutenant is trying to close the brothels, but the Engineer Commander knows he can't let that happen without disastrous consequences . The interacting circumstances and young hormones create an environment that provides lots of LOL.
