Cashiered army officer Baker, dismissed from the service for black marketeering, teams with Tom Bell and Polish explosives expert Schmid to steal a military payroll bound for North Africa in this watchable selection of heist-goes-wrong plot manoeuvres. Atmospheric and authentic army camp-life photography by Gilbert Taylor; based on a story co-credited to Nicolas Roeg.
