On the eve of the Japanese surrender in South East Asia, interned Japanese personnel are put to work in Singapore.

The prisoners are guarded by Indian soldiers with fixed bayonets. A line of Japanese prisoners, each with their hands up, walks across shot.

Notes

The dopesheet describes shots of a Captain G E T Francis (identified as superintendent of Outram Road jail in Singapore) stripping Major-General Kiani (Indian National Army) of his badges of rank and searching him. It also notes a shot and close-up of Major-General Masatoshi Saito, commander of prisoner of war camps in Malaya and Singapore. Despite there being no censor annotations on the dopesheet, none of this described footage appears in this film.

According to the dopesheet, this film was intended as cut-in material to complement coverage of the surrender ceremony due to take place the following day.
