Synopsis

With the end of the war, the victorious Germans now occupy a defeated Great Britain. In London, decorated detective John Henry Rossett, now reporting to the Nazi victors, lies in a hospital bed recovering from gunshot wounds.

But when Koehler's wife and daughter are kidnapped by American spies, the terrified German turns to the only man he trusts to help him - a shrewd cop who will do whatever is necessary to get the job done: John Rossett.
