Filme de Nunnally Johnson (que também já escreveu ótimos roteiros) mostra a estória de um soldado americano, John Leatherby (Ted Avery), estacionado na Alemanha Oriental do pós guerra. Ele é sequestrado e levado para a parte oriental da Alemanha. Os americanos do Departamento de Estado são notificados e a notícia chega aos familiares do jovem soldado, que tem um pai milionário que começa a brigar em Washington para ter seu filho de volta. Na Alemanha, o problema cai no colo do Coronel Steve Van Dyke (Gregory Peck) que é designado para resolver o caso. Ele é um soldado experiente, mas é atrapalhado pelo pai do soldado, (Broderick Crawford), que tenta forçar a barra com ajuda do Sargento Eddie McColloch (Buddy Ebsen). Lidar com as outras potências que controlam a seção oriental da Alemanha prova ser uma tarefa difícil, com russos, ex-nazistas, agentes duplos e vítimas políticas.
Com: Gregory Peck, Broderick Crawford, Buddy Ebsen, Anita Bjork, Peter van Eick.
Filme indicado ao Oscar de Melhor Roteiro Original.

The story as written by Jed Harris and directed by Nunnally Johnson begins slowly and tells of a single United States soldier, Cpl. John Leatherby (Ted Avery) stationed in West Germany shortly after W.W. II. After his kidnapping, the Americans are notified. A noise which is heard in the state department and there after reaches the the parents of the young soldier, who happens to have some very powerful friends, one which takes his millionaire status and starts banging on Washington doors to get his son back. Back in Germany, the problem lands on the stoop of one, Col. Steve Van Dyke (Gregory Peck) who is ordered to resolve the issue. He is an experienced soldier, but is hindered by the boy's Father (Broderick Crawford) who tries to throw his weight around and ably assisted by Sgt. Eddie McColloch (Buddy Ebsen). Dealing with the other major powers controlling the Eastern section of the Berlin Wall, proves a difficult task, what with the rise of the Russians, Ex-Nazis, double agents and political victims all vining for his attention.
