Plot
Captain Jeff Dakin (George Montgomery) is shot down over Germany on a bombing raid as he sees his brother, Danny (Richard Graham) serving on the same aircraft, shot dead as he parachutes out of the stricken aircraft. Imprisoned in a camp, Dakin conspires with Alexandra "Alec" Zorich (Annabella), a beautiful Russian doctor, and a Czech resistance leader, Captain Paul Husnik (Kent Taylor) to mount an escape. They escape during an air raid and make their way towards safety, but the Czech is not who he seems.
Husnik is really Gestapo officer Paul van Brock who wants to get Alec to lead him to the leaders of the Czech underground movement. Killing the underground leader, van Brock summons the Gestapo but Dakin overpowers him and together with Alec, is on the run. Reaching Holland, Dakin learns that his bomber is now repaired with the Nazis planning a mysterious flight to England. Disguised as a German soldier, Dakin finds out his brother's killer, Maj. Von Streicher (Martin Kosleck), is to pilot the aircraft, on a mission to kill Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Stealing a German aircraft, Dakin exacts some revenge by shooting down Von Streicher. Landing in England, he is reunited with Alec who has made her way there.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
