It is known that during World War 2, the Japanese deliberately infected civilians and prisoners. Thousands of people, both civilian and military died during the human experimentation in the war.

Mainly known as a bacteria lethal for horses and mules, the bacteria has proven to be crippling and even deadly for human beings as well. In this film, victims refer to it as the rotten leg syndrome.
