"As soon as they get back from Navarone, Captain Mallory, Andrea Stavros, and Corporal Miller are sent off with three fresh young soldiers to Yugoslavia to rescue a band of partisans that are trapped on all sides by the German army. It seems impossible: six men against an army, and all hope seems lost once they are captured. But the British soldiers persist, and hope they will succeed in destroying the German army."
