The story

Several Brigadier Generals (American, British, and French) are unexpectedly taken prisoner by the Italian Army while arguing military tactics in a sauna; this is a public relations disaster for the Allies. The Brigadiers are held in an Italian villa, run by the benevolent Colonel Ferrucci, as a luxurious version of a prison camp. Being all of the same rank, none is in command and they are forced to plan escapes by committee, with predictably ineffective results.
