Sullivan's commandos are to hold this camp and its weaponry until an American battalion arrivesall the while these Italian-Americans pretend to be Italian soldiersoften hosting the enemy. Lt. Valli is a young"green," by-the-book officer who constantly argues with Sgt. Sullivanwho tells his superior that he has no idea what he is doing. One man on the baseprobably a touch from Argentois an entomologist who is needlessly killed. Things go terribly wrong after that.
