The story

Captain Douglas is a BP employee seconded to the Royal Engineers during the North African Campaign of the Second World War, overseeing incoming fuel supplies for the British Eighth Army. Colonel Masters commands a special raiding unit composed of convicted criminals, and after a string of failures his commander, Brigadier Blore, orders him on a dangerous last-chance mission to destroy an Afrika Korps fuel depot, otherwise his unit will be disbanded. Masters is ordered to include a regular officer on the mission and selects Douglas, against his wishes, for his technical knowledge.
