This plan is discovered by the Germans who capture the train by means of a daring commando operation. The allies prepare a counter move and entrust Captain Cooper with the difficult task of freeing Churchill. After a number of ups and downs the Captain's efforts prove successful. The enterprise costs the lives of many men although the man whom the group manages to release in only the double. The real Churchill is already at Casablanca. However the plan has to be carried out to the end so as not to arouse the Suspicions of the German command.
