Rockefeller was the senior surviving army officer, and though seriously burned about the face and hands-it cost him his mustache and six weeks in hospital-he assumed command until help arrived the next day.

The enemy cannot grasp this military absurdity; they do not really "see" this most visible of men, and they...
...Chief (Trevor Howard) to assassinate an enemy agent, Taylor discovers that he is just too nice a guy to do such dirty work. So he hires a thug to plug his victims, and starts chasing his favorite redhead (Jill St. John) around a pad that looks like the 9th Regiment Armory lined with orange velvet. The Bondoggle ends, however, when the redhead comes up with an angle as well as a wiggle, and from there out the show is a straightforward shoot...
