Anfang Mai 1945: Hitler ist tot, Nazi-Deutschland steht vor der Kapitulation. Doch Captain Jack Lee hat noch eine schwierige Mission: Er soll vierzehn prominente französische Häftlinge befreien, die auf einem Schloss in den Alpen gefangen sind – darunter Édouard Daladier, ehemaliger Premierminister Frankreichs, Paul Reynaud und die Schwester von Charles de Gaulle.
