Three British soldiers are caught behind enemy lines in the closing days of the Word War II. Hemmings, Bell, and Beckley are the men who wait in a burned-out building for their sergeant's arrival. Hemmings is a pacifist, Bell is the oldest and most experienced, and Beckley is a war-loving sadist. They capture a German officer, Dobie, who tricks them into letting him live, and set out to find their sergeant, only to discover his throat slit. They spend the night in a farm house before heading back to their own lines and get into a skirmish with a German patrol. Beckley is killed, and so are the Germans. The remaining two men and their prisoner continue to the British lines...
