Alan Ladd stars as Captain Webster Carey, who returns to a small village in Italy after WWII. Carey wants to find out who betrayed his O.S.S. team trying to knock out a German-held railroad system. Many villagers of Orta, near Milan, lost their lives during the mission. Upon his return, he is surprised to find out his old love Giulia(Wanda Hendrix)did not die at the hands of the Nazis. To be exact, she is married to a powerful Italian nobleman(Francis Lederer). Carey finds the villagers he thought he was saving from the Germans now hold him responsible for their poverty. Nonetheless, the search for a traitor persists with the aid of Giulia.
