Lisa Colbert (Jan Francis) runs Lifeline, a Brussels-based resistance organization which helps
allied aircrew to evade capture and return home. She is aided by Albert Foiret (Bernard
Hepton), proprietor of the Cafe Candide, his mistress Monique Duchamps (Angela Richards)
and waitress Natalie Chantrens (Juliet Hammond-Hill). Their already dangerous operations
are about to be put under further strain, when Sturmbahnfuhrer Ludwig Kessler (Clifford
Rose) is assigned to the Belgian capital to assist Major Brandt (Michael Culver) with the
evasion line problem. Another irritation for Lifeline is the arrival of Flt. Lt. John Curtis
(Christopher Neame), a former evader who has been sent by London to help co-ordinate
their activities...
