This lackluster WW II film stars McCallum as an RAF pilot whose best friend, Buck, is killed in a bombing raid over France. McCallum informs Buck's wife, Neve, of her husband's death and soon their long-ago romance is rekindled (she was McCallum's girl before she married Buck). Meanwhile, McCallum learns that the Nazis are developing the V-3 rocket in France and his commanders order it destroyed with a specially built bomb. Soon after, however, British intelligence informs the command that several British POWs, including Buck, are being held by the Nazis at the compound. McCallum devises a plan wherein the first attack will free the prisoners so that they can escape harm, and then the bombers will return to destroy the V-3 shop. The raid is a success, but Buck is killed, leaving McCallum and Neve to each other.
