Captain Brad Parker, an American paratrooper invalided out because of a broken leg suffered during a parachute jump is posted to the headquarters of the European Theatre of Operations in London. At the Red Cross club, he meets and, despite being married, falls in love with Valerie Russell, a Womens Royal Army Corps subaltern. Valerie is the daughter of a crusty Brigadier whos been on sick leave since being wounded at Dunkirk. Valerie is also already in love with Captain John Wynter of the British Commandos, a friend of her father. Both officers are posted overseas, but later return. Parker has volunteered to join what becomes Special Force Six, to be led by his former commander, Lt. Colonel now Colonel Timmer. With only a few hours before the operation is due to embark, Timmer goes to pieces partly as a result of his earlier bad experiences in the failed Dieppe landing and is arrested whilst drunk and breaking security. Wynter, now a Colonel, who has recovered from being badly wounded, is brought in to command the operation. The operation is a success, despite several killed and wounded. Wynter is killed when he steps on a mine. Parker is badly wounded and evacuated. In hospital, and due to be repatriated, he sees Valerie for the last time. She does not tell him that Wynter has been killed.
