Glenn Ford stars as an American GI who travels back to France after the end of World War II, to try to recover a jewel-encrusted glove, which had been pillaged from a country church during the hostilities. His quest leads him to a beautiful young tour guide played by Geraldine Brooks, and an unsavory Nazi collaborator (George Macready), whom he had fought during the war. Our former GI and the tour guide must try to stay one step ahead of some mysterious religious followers, the authorities and his former Nazi rival in order to secure the treasure.
