Four veterans of the French Resistance, reunited nearly thirty years after the war, join forces to meet adventure, danger and excitement as perilous as anything they faced during the war.

Stephen Halliday (Brian Keith) - a former OSS agent and now an important business executive in New York.
The Elephant:
Tommy Devon (John Mills) - a former Commando officer now running a shop in Nice.
The Leopard:Manouche Roget (Lilli Palmer) - an ex-resistance fighter whose husband was killed by the Gestapo.
The Tiger:
Alec Marlowe (Barry Morse) - a Lieutenant in the RCAF, he now runs an auto repair shop in Vancouver.
Reviving the team, they track down and capture the man who betrayed them, putting the reward towards the building of a children's hospital.
