In a Nazi-occupied Greek village, the death of five German soldiers triggers a harsh retaliation.

With his life hanging by a thread after a nearly fatal ambush by the Resistance forces, gravely wounded Austrian officer Walter Riemann seeks refuge in a rugged, Nazi-occupied Greek village. There, a compassionate physician tends to his wounds. However, Riemann is unaware that his cruel commanding officer, Major von Gerbert, won't rest until he finds and destroys the guerrilla pocket.
