The 7th Dawn

Major Ferris, an American who fought alongside the Australian 8th Army in Malaysia during World War II, has returned to the region after the war. He has established a business venture, purchasing acres of land rich in rubber trees and tin mines, and is looking to expand his operations. However, his plans are put on hold when he is approached by British officials who ask him to contact his old war buddy, Colonel Ng, who has returned from Moscow to coordinate the guerrilla groups fighting against the British colonial authorities. The officials hope that Ferris can persuade Ng and the rebels to cease their attacks and allow the British to withdraw from Malaysia and grant the country independence.
