Japanese prisoners of war leave for Japan from transit camp Balikpapan on Borneo. The ones suspected of war crimes have to stay in the camp to await trial. SHOTS: - a long column of Japanese soldiers pass the guards at the fence and the barbed wire of the tents and baracks camp; the Japanese trudge, mostly with bags and baggage, to the harbour and board an American Liberty ship; - the ones that had to stay in the camp are lined up (a.o. close ups).
