The film was shot on location in Europe.[2]
The setting is World War II. An Office of Strategic Services agent, working with the French Resistance, ambushes a Nazi convoy with a high-ranking general, who escapes. Later they take him from a Nazi prison and smuggle him to England.
Anovelization of the screenplay was issued by Monarch Books in May 1960—about two months in advance of the film's release (as was often customary in the era). The by-line was given as "Dan Pepper & Max Gareth". Both names were pseudonyms. "Dan Pepper", also credited as co-screenwriter, was a joint pseudonym for Lou Morheim (who would become a noted screenwriter and producer under his own name) and American novelist Stuart James.
