British special agent Capt. Owen leads a squad of commandos into Nazi-occupied Norway to rescue a top general imprisoned in a death camp. Communications expert Sgt. Harry and Norwegian resistance fighter Lt. Falken parachute with Owen behind enemy lines to contact Falken's fiance, Inga. Unbeknownst to them, she is working as a spy for the Germans. The men disguise themselves as Nazi officers to trick the sadistic Gestapo and flee with the general. Inga's treachery, however, ruins their escape and strands the trio in enemy territory, fighting for their lives.
Made during the Nazi occupation of Scandinavia, this wartime propaganda film from PRC Pictures is directed by action specialist Spencer Gordon Bennet.

This is a typical low budget World War II movie about a commando operation in German occupied Norway. Lyle Talbot plays the commander of the operation and somehow he just doesn't seem like the type to lead such an adventure. Be sure to catch his closing little speech, so jungoistic it's almost humorous. Well, the good guys are good guys and the bad guys are really evil and that what makes it so typical. And, of course, the good guys when and make fools out of the badies.
