The story

Roman Catholic priest Fr Elliott goes to the Natural History Museum to meet a section-head in the wartime British Special Operations Executive. On accepting his offer to train for covert operations behind enemy lines in Belgium, he meets a disparate group of existing recruits, including Michèle the Belgian émigrée (Signoret), whose sweetheart has died after the occupation of Belgium, Emile, who misses his family, and Julie, who flirts with Fr Elliott despite his celibate status. Michèle's motives are initially questioned before she is finally given the green light for operations abroad.
