Plot

At the McKenzie prisoner of War (POW) camp in the north of Scotland, Kapitän zur See Willi Schlüter (Helmut Griem) – a Kriegsmarine U-boat commander – challenges the authority of the camp’s rigidly by-the-book commanding officer, Major Perry (Ian Hendry). British Army Intelligence Officer Captain Jack Connor, an Irishman seconded from the Royal Ulster Rifles. a former star crime reporter during peacetime, is in hot water (again) for various off-duty indiscretions. His patron, General Kerr (Jack Watson), bails him out - in return for sending him to Camp McKenzie to learn what else might be behind the escalating uprisings beyond Perry's niggling authoritarianism.
