Adapted from his autobiography The Eddie Chapman Story, this is the story of a British safecracker who was in prison when WWII broke out. When the Germans occupy the area, he offers to work for them if they will set him free, and they do so, sending him as a spy to England. Once there, however, he offers his services to the British and becomes a double agent. (official distributor synopsis)
