Into this quiet corner of wartime tranquillity arrive the 525th Bomber Group of the US Eighth Air Group. Consequently, welcoming Flying Fortress bombers and 2,500 American officers and men does not come easily to the inhabitants of this sleepy village.

Susannah York stars as Helen Dereham, a cool, classical doctor in the small village hospital. Ronald Hines is her husband, an army major who goes away to fight, and American star Michael Shannon features as a US Air Force flier.
