The struggle of five Confederate Army deserters ("Yellownecks") is depicted here as they make their way through the Florida Everglades in the hope of reaching Cuba. The muggy, buggy swamps take their toll, however, devouring the deserters, who must also fend off Indian attacks. When the
sole survivor makes it to the coast, he finds that the boat that was supposed to be awaiting his arrival is not there. Photographed on location, YELLOWNECK has a great atmosphere, but not much else.
