A commando unit is dropped behind the German lines in Italy and its mission is to blow up a strategic dam. However, the unit is ambushed and only its leader survives. He is picked up by a ragtag group of local youth, who strike a bargain with him: they will help him blow up the dam if he will help them get revenge on the Germans, who have taken over their village and killed their parents.
Hornets' Nest
In 1944, during a sabotage mission, the sole surviving U.S. paratrooper is saved by a group of Italian orphans who later aid him in blowing-up a vital enemy dam.
