Plot
[edit]As the Crimean War rages, British officers Captain Eric Evoir (Jean-Pierre Aumont) and Major Bruce Lindsey (Richard Wyler) are sent to Crimea to protect a top-secret cannon capable of blasting through the walls of a nearby Russian fort. Lindsey is captured by the Russians and subjected to brutal interrogation. Evoir sets out to rescue his comrade. Along the way, Evoir meets a beautiful gypsy girl (Paulette Goddard) and begins an affair as intense as the war itself.
