In North Africa during World War II, Major David Brand is assigned to lead a British commando raid into German-held Benghazi to retrieve whatever documents they can lay their hands on at the German headquarters.

Brand also learns that Leith and his beautiful wife Jane were lovers before the war creating tension between the two.
