In Occupied France an allied team has parachuted into a small French town.

They are ordered to blow up a bridge. Take out the German commander who wants to send a harsh message to the locals who are collaborating with the Resistance.

Kill women and children.

The mission is being run from Lake Ontario in Canada. Camp X is a secret training facility.

Alfred Graves is a potential new recruit at Camp X. An extremely nervous young man who appears in a Vaudeville show. He also has a perfect memory.

Duncan Sinclair believes that Alfred is the type of guy needed to win the war. Not the usual Oxford and Cambridge types.

You are always going to be on a winner when you have nasty German types. Early on, a young girl is forced to do a German salute and if her hand descends. A soldier has been ordered to shoot her dead.

Luckily there are a German soldier or two with a conscience.

While Alfred dazzles people around with his mental abilities. The crux of the episode is the unit who has to blow up the bridge.

As usual things do not go according to plan. That little girl seem to get everywhere on foot.

The location shooting in Hungary helps with the Occupied France scenes. You can sense from the pilot that this series has been influenced by shows such as Secret Army and Enemy at the Door.
