Captured by the Germans, Lt. Hanley (Rick Jason) braces himself for interrogation by General Von Strelitz (Albert Paulsen). Much to his surprise, Hanley is ordered to accompany Von Strelitz in his staff car--whereupon the General kills his aide and forces Hanley to take the dead man's place. The mismatched duo end up at a nightclub, where Von Strelitz' daughter Maria (Joyce Vanderveen) is working as a singer. It is soon revealed Von Strelitz was in on the recent plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and with his daughter's help he hopes to escape to the American lines. But even with Hanley's reluctant assistance, the road to freedom is fraught with peril--especially when the defecting General comes up against a group of French freedom fighters who have no qualms about shooting first and asking questions later!
