Story: A World War II adventure involving a group of Allied P.O.W.s, Nazis, black market priceless art treasures, Greek resistance, a Greek monastery, and a secret German rocket base.

During World War II, the prisoners of a German camp on a Greek island are trying to escape. They dont want only their freedom, but they also seek an ineffable treasure hidden in a monastery at the top of the islands mountain.

The ever efficient German war machine had little trouble sweeping over Greece, yet some stubborn resistance remained active. Various civilian prisoners were thrown with the officers in Stalag VII-Z, a camp on the site of a Neptune temple under two masters: S.S. Major Volkmann (Anthony Valentine), a Nazi extremist who enjoys exercising brutality, and gentleman camp commandant, former dodgy Viennese art merchant Major Otto Hecht (Roger Moore), who definitely prefers the finer things in life, regardless of "political correctness". Thus, the camp, meant to send Berlin archaeological treasures, actually keeps the true treasures for his private black market trade, via Hechts sister in Switzerland. His "guests", all fortunate to be spared the usual harsh treatment of prisoners, include a brilliant professor of archaeology, Professor Blake (David Niven); an Italian cook, Bruno Rotelli (Sonny Bono); two stranded American USO performers Charlie (Elliott Gould) and Dottie Del Mar (Stefanie Powers); and even an African-American POW, Nat Judson (Richard Roundtree). Hechts hospitality seems poorly rewarded when they mount an elaborate plan to take over the camp, in league with the local Greek resistance leader Zeno (Telly Savalas), who is determined to prevent the inevitable German slaughter of villagers in reprisal. As all seem to agree upon a common goal, the priceless art treasures in the monastery on nearby Mount Athena, Hecht is persuaded to join in for a cut of the spoils, but Zeno has a military agenda, as the Allied invasion is approaching and the monasterys mountain is also the cover for a secret German rocket installation.
