A British Petroleum executive is assigned to work with the British Army in North Africa handling port duties for incoming fuels. This gives him the official rank of Captain in the British Army. The Colonel in charge is told he must have a British officer accompany his men on a dangerous mission 400 miles behind German lines and is saddled with the Petroleum executive. The real leader of the group doesn't need or want the British officer, who's supposed to be in charge, but he's promised an extra 2,000 British Pounds if he gets him back alive. Disguised as Italians, their trek across Rommel's Africa includes meeting and battling many kinds of enemies.
