After completing their trip, the German officer releases his American prisoner but pledges to kill him if they ever meet again.

One year later, the two officers find themselves facing each other again but this time in occupied France when Vincent and his US Rangers are sent to rescue a British officer, Colonel James Steele (Anthony Steel), an expert on secret arms and V2 rockets.
