Bob Sharkey is put in charge of the 77th group of American espionage candidates. However, he is informed by his boss Charles Gibson that one of his students is a German Abwehr agent. Having considered who might be the infiltrator, Sharkey eventually identifies the double agent to be “Bill O’Connell”. Gibson reveals that O’Connell is actually Wilhelm Kuncel, one of Germany’s top spies. He tells Sharkey to pass him through the course, as they know his mission is to determine the date and location of Operation Overlord (the Allied invasion of Europe). They assign him a job in London that gives him full access to false information about “Plan B”, the invasion of Germany through the Lowlands, hoping he will pass it along to his superiors.

Unfortunately when three agents including O’Connell are parachuted into France, O’Connell murders agent Lassiter by cutting his parachute cord.

When Sharkey and his boss learn that Lassiter has been murdered they have to send someone else in in a hurry and there is no time to brief and prepare another agent, so Sharkey goes in himself posing as an official from the Vichy government in France. From here the story unfolds very quickly
A great film showing Cagney and Conte at their best. Great Espionage movie especially for the time.
