Plot

A group of agents in the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (a forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency) are sent to France, during World War II, to knock out the German-held French railroad system and, in accomplishing this mission, most of them are killed because of an inside betrayal. After the war, one of the agents, Captain Webster Carey (portrayed by Alan Ladd), resolves to find the traitor. Captain Carey returns to Orta, near Milan, to find out who betrayed his World War II O.S.S. team and caused the deaths of several villagers. Much to his surprise, his old love Giulia (“Julie”), whom he thought dead at the hands of the Nazis, is alive and married to a powerful Italian nobleman, Barone Rocco de Graffi. He also discovers to his sorrow that the ungrateful local villagers hold the Americans responsible for their current financial travails. Still, Captain Carey stays and persists in his clandestine efforts, hoping to flush out the traitor.
