A belligerent hermit is the only one who can guide Saunders through a treacherous mountain route, so Hanley's company can follow. The Frenchman claims his family was ripped apart in World War I, so he's sitting World War II out at the top of a mountain. The huge Francois is very itchy on the trigger toward Saunders and his troops. Is Francois a Nazi collaborator leading the dog-faces into a trap, or a dangerous misanthrope ?—David Stevens
Sgt. Saunders, Caje and Kirby are assigned to mark a safe route through a snowy mountain in France free from avalanche for the allied troops. They meet the hermit Francois Perrault, who is the only man that knows the mountain very well and they pay for his services in supplies and Caje's rifle when the work is finished. However, they stumble upon a German squad on the top of the mountain and they are made prisoners. What will happen to them?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
