I won't bother giving a synopsis of the story, as everyone else posting here has already done so. This is a very watchable and somewhat typical WWII anti-Nazi Hollywood propaganda film. Errol Flynn is almost always fun to watch, and the film moves along in a fairly brisk manner. The main problem I have with it, is when you find out in the last 20 minutes or so what the goal of the Nazi's is. As an avid film buff, I understand that you have to often go along with a film, suspending disbelief at various plot devices, but this was, to quote the title of a more recent war film, "A Bridge Too Far" (sorry, I couldn't resist). The idea that the Germans, years before the start of WWII would ship bomber parts to Canada to be stashed away for use later, that a small handful of German POWs could be rounded up that know how to put it together (including hydraulics, electronics, etc.), well, you get the picture. If the big plot revelation at the end had been more believable, I'd have given it a higher rating, as it's well made and enjoyable, with Flynn giving yet another of his cheeky performances.
