Storyline

Philip Elliot, refugee Belgian priest, reports to a secret school in London for spies and saboteurs behind German lines. After training, he and two others parachute into Belgium to help destroy a records office. This mission leads to German capture of an important resistance leader; four more agents (Emile, Max, Scotty, and Michele) go in on a rescue mission. But one of them is a traitor; and other things go wrong...—Rod Crawford



Short Review

Espionage and a behind enemy lines mission that probably had greater impact value when it was released a couple of years after World War II. Filmed in a very familiar British style for the period the film hails from.
