In the spring of 1940 suddenly the Blitzkrieg starts. A squad of British infantry is part of the British army that is sent into Belgium to face the invading Germans. Holland is quickly overrun and the Allies are soon pushed out of Belgium into France. At the same time, the Germans break through the French lines at the Argonne Forest and move towards Calais. The British squad is left behind during the retreat and lose their officer. John Mills plays an inexperienced lance corporal who resists an increase in rank, but when the chips are down performs with courage and authority in organizing the lost troop and shepherding them to Dunkirk. Barely staying ahead of the advancing Germans, the squad makes its way across France, losing men and picking up other stragglers.
