Story: An unnamed U.S. Marine is air-dropped onto a tropical island to carry out a secret mission. He must thwart the plans of the villain Dr. Hellman, who aims to unleash an army of zombies upon the world. After being bitten by a zombie, the Marine encounters a charming female reporter and a Rasta driver. Four of his fellow soldiers are captured by Hellman and turned into zombies. To rescue his comrades, the Marine must infiltrate Hellman's base and shoot them with bullets coated in a substance extracted from the datura plant to revert them back to human.
