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.
A novelization 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.
