Shot down over Italy in 1943, Colonel Joseph L. Ryan (Frank Sinatra) is sent to an Italian prisoner-of-war camp where he outranks and outrages a stuffy British major (Trevor Howard) and soon earns the prefix "Von" from the British and Americans he pushes around.

Ryan plays a crusading journalist who wants to expose the misappropriation of U.S. funds in a tiny principality ruled by the Duke of Ocgagna (Stewart Granger). But first, Ryan must overcome such obstacles as 1) the whereabouts of photostats containing evidence to clinch his case and 2) a soft spot...
