Watch Corregidor Online

Surgeon Royce Lee Stockman (Elissa Landi) and her maid, Hyacinth (Ruby Dandridge), arrive at a thatched hut on Manoi Island in the Philippines, which is the home of Royce’s husband, Dr. Jan Stockman (Otto Kruger). The next day a Japanese squadron flies overhead and bombs the island. Hyacinth is killed, but Jan and Royce are unharmed, and they join up with a small unit of American soldiers. The troop heads toward Manila, which is 600 miles away. After Jan is shot in a scuffle with Japanese soldiers, Royce is able to treat the wound, but when their lieutenant (Ted Hecht) falls ill with malaria, he commits suicide so that he will not detain the unit. Several days later, the group reaches the rocky island of Corregidor, where American forces have stationed themselves in an underground cavern.

Royce and Jan are immediately put to work in the army hospital, and Royce finds that her former lover, Michael (Donald Woods), who had previously left her without explanation, is also there. Although Jan believes that Royce still loves Michael, Michael insists that he left her because she tried to buy his affection. Japanese planes mercilessly bomb the island, and the men and women stationed there have little respite from the barrage. The news of the Japanese invasion of Burma soon reaches Corregidor, and after taking stock of their diminishing supplies, the commanding officers nevertheless choose to continue to defend the outpost.
