In 1944, during a sabotage mission, the sole surviving U.S. paratrooper is saved by a group of Italian orphans who later aid him in blowing up a vital enemy dam.

A commando unit is dropped behind the German lines in Italy and its mission is to blow up a strategic dam. However, the unit is ambushed and only its leader survives. He is picked up by a ragtag group of local youth, who strike a bargain with him: they will help him blow up the dam if he will help them get revenge on the Germans, who have taken over their village and killed their parents.—[email protected]
