Plot
A Canadian officer is sent on a secret and dangerous mission during World War II. His superior officers deceptively give him false information about the planned invasion of 1944. He is told that this secret information must not get into enemy hands. He is transported into occupied territory in a way that ensures he will be captured. He resists torture but finally tells all. The Germans are misled and the Normandy landings succeed. The Canadian officer is now a broken man.
