A British bomber is shot down over enemy territory during WWII. The survivors are quickly captured and questioned by Nazi officer Raymond Massey. One of them manages to knock him out with a single punch and they escape through a window with vital information. Determined to get it back to England, they decide to walk out of Germany. They kill a few more Nazis and steal their uniforms. They sneak on a train and hang out in Goring's private car. They single-handedly sabotage a chemical plant. They steal a truck for their final run into occupied Netherlands, but when it runs out of gas a truck full of fuel leads them to a hidden plane. They steal it and fly to England. Far-fetched, to say the least, with full-on propagandist dialogue and stupid comic relief from Alan Hale, Sr.
