Summaries

A secret London school trains a motley group of men and women for sabotage work in German occupied Belgium during World War II. When one of them is captured by the Germans, five others are parachuted in to rescue him.

Philip Elliot, a refugee Belgian priest, reports to a secret school in London for spies and saboteurs behind German lines. After training, he and two others parachute into Belgium to help destroy a records office. This mission leads to German capture of an important resistance leader, and four more agents (Emile, Max, Scotty, and Michele) go in on a rescue mission. But one of them is a traitor; and other things go wrong.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>
