Return to Guam is a 1944 short propaganda film produced by the US Navy about the taking and recapture of the island of Guam. The film starts when a convoy of ships nearing the island sees strange lights flashing from the island in Morse code "information".

Tweed relates his harrowing story of how he survived in the bush for 31 months with the help of the natives, Chamorros.
