Plot:

Following Mussolini's daring rescue by the S.S., Hitler decides Prime Minister Winston Churchill can be abducted and brought to Berlin, and orders Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Chief of Abwerh (Sir Anthony Quayle), to make a feasibility study. The feasibility study conceived brilliantly by redoubtable Lieutenant Colonel Radl (Robert Duvall) becomes reality when an Abwehr Agent in England reports Churchill's imminent visit to a Bomber Command Unit on the eastern coast.
