[2] It was nominated for the Oscar for Best Effects (David Allen, Ray Cory, Robert Wright, Russell Malmgren, Harry Kusnick) in 1945.

Thane, Sam's superior, assigns him Jill McGann to pretend to be his wife, and refugee orphans Joan and Paul his children.

However, Simms, another of the saboteurs, recognizes Sam (who was held in a German concentration camp, but managed to escape) and vice versa.

The entire espionage ring meets in a remote location and learns the identity of their real leader, Gestapo Colonel Hugo Von Braun, aka "Brownie" Brownell, a seemingly loyal shipyard worker.

Von Braun manages to activate a bomb, but Sam finds him and, after a fight that ends up in the water, drowns him.
