Dinosaur Island, 1945. In a fortified cave, Johnny Cloud of the Losers alongside with Pooch, writes a story on the cave's wall about the Losers' final mission...Following the closing end of World War II
in Europe, the United States has been locating and procuring Axis
scientists, including a Dieter Teschner, who was important to America's
post-war plans, and was secretly transported through the Pacific Ocean
to avoid detection. However, the plane carrying Teschner and a squad of O.S.S. commandos led by Colonel Richard Flagg
crash landed on Dinosaur Island. Radio communication with the castaways
was lost between them and the American mainland, but fortunately their
location is located and an O.S.S. rescue operation (codename: "Four
Horsemen") was initiated that involve The Losers: consisting of Johnny
Cloud, Captain William Storm, Sarge, Gunner MacKay, and Pooch. The Losers, voyaging on a PT Boat and trailing with a Albatross
seaplane are close to their arrival, and cut loose their plane. As they
are close to the island, their boat is violently rock by something
large, and alive, in the ocean which sends them and their boat flying
towards the island. Recovering from their crash landing, the Losers are
confused of what it was that they encounter. Suddenly Pooch sense
something, and a tyrannosaurus rex appears and prepares to attack them.
The Losers attack the t-rex with their weapons, with Gunner firing his
bazooka at it. As Cloud and Storm tries to flank the dinosaur with
grenades, and while Gunner and Sarge prepares another bazooka rocket,
the t-rex thrash its tail at the rocket crew, fatally wounding Gunner.
Cloud and Storm manage to harm the t-rex with their grenades, mutilating
its left arm and forcing it to leave. The Losers pay their respects to a
dead Gunner, but Sarge is greatly affected by his death than the others
who he treats Gunner almost as a brother to him. The Losers, along with Sarge carrying a wrapped Gunner, manage to
find the O.S.S. group's abandoned fortified mountain cave, discovering
spare supplies of armaments including those of Japanese and Australian,
but also acknowledge that there are fresh traces of human presence. The
Losers make camp in the cave in hopes of awaiting the missing castaways
and Sarge personally buries Gunner. The next morning, Johnny Cloud and Storm are awaken by sounds of
rocket fire and finds that Sarge is missing. Suspecting that the
dispatched rockets belongs to Sarge, the two follow the sounds and
suddenly they are attack by pterodactyls. They manage to kill one but
Storm is carried away by another pterodactyl. Despaired of Storm's
capture and helpless to save him, Cloud went back to the cave and finds
Pooch with Rick Flagg. The Colonel informs Cloud that he had heard of
the Losers' firefight the night before while planting traps on the north
face of the mountain. On his way to his cave, Flagg had witnessed
Sarge's attack on the same t-rex that attacked the Losers and was
killed. Cloud then introduce himself to Flagg and his team's mission in
rescuing anyone on the island, but to learn that Flagg is the only one
alive and has an important microfilm copy of Teschner's notes. With everything ready, Cloud, Pooch, and Flagg race back to the
beach and prepares a life raft to cross back to the Albatross. However,
Cloud tells Flagg that he intends to avenge his comrades' death in
killing the t-rex. Flagg calls his vengeance insane and tries to
convince him to leave the island and not waste his life, but Cloud
points his pistol at Flagg and re-stating his vengeance. Flagg relents
and bids farewell to Cloud before going on the raft. Cloud and Pooch
prepare themselves in killing the t-rex.
