Plot

In late 1930s London, debonair safecracker Eddie Chapman pulls off a series of heists but is caught and convicted while vacationing on the channel island of Jersey, where he is imprisoned. Months later, war commences and Jersey is occupied by German forces. Chapman offers them his services. Because of his unique qualifications, they accept. After faking his execution, the Germans smuggle Chapman into occupied France where, working closely with his handler, Col. Baron von Grunen, he is trained as a spy. He becomes romantically involved with a colleague known only as the Countess. But he is closely watched by ex-policeman Col. Steinhager, von Grunen's immediate subordinate.
