Deep in the jungle of the Philippines an expedition makes camp for the night. Ten greedy people start out, but only two are to return.

The lust for gold, power and wealth drives men to madness and murder. A group of Japanese soldiers in the occupied Philippines, escorting a huge consignment of gold are attacked by natives and headhunters.

The three commanding officers hide the gold deep in a cavern, kill the porters and hide as their men are massacred.

They vow to return for the gold when the war is over...

A terrifying story of Lust and Love... Life and Death..

Ten greedy people on a safari of no return.

Verbatim Box Synopsis

Ninja... a name that conjures up dread, loathing and gut wrenching fear in all who have ever had the misfortune to cross their path.  With death defying feats, a total disregard for everything human and their own very special brand of vengeance, Ninjas are a force to be reckoned with.  Ninjas deal in DEATH, in any shape or form, be it slow torturous death, letting their victims scream themselves into a state of oblivion, or death can come like a streak of lightning... so fast that the victim's head goes on talking for seconds after being severed by the flashing blade.  So, when the two greatest masters in the art of sudden death collide in combat, it becomes two death-dealing human fighting machines in the battle of the century.
