Inspector Bonet tracks him down and brings him back. But along the way, they hear that a railway bridge vital to the Germans has been destroyed, supposedly by allied agents. The Germans take 100 Frenchmen and are threatening to execute them unless the saboteurs come forward. Picard who would rather die at the hands of the firing squad as opposed to the guillotine, offers to go to the Germans and say that he is the saboteur. Bonet accepts and so they go the village near where the bridge was to learn all that they can so that Picard can convince the Germans that he is the saboteur. While there Picard, a womanizer, meets a young woman and falls in love with her.

| User ReviewTimothy JAnother great Flynn movie, because it is not what you would expect. Film noir-ish at times and gritty. Gotta love it. |
| User ReviewGreg Wflynn cast against type playing a french criminal in this WWII actioner. |
| User ReviewScott CMakes a good companion piece to other Errol Flynn WW II movies - 'Edge of Darkness' and 'Desperate Journey'. This one has the least action - it's more of a drama. Flynn was an underrated actor, for sure. |
