Plot – Colonel Allen Faulkner is called by Sir Edward Matherson, a Londoner businessman, to free Limbani, the president of an African state now a prisoner of Zembala, leader of a coup. Faulkner works with three trusted collaborators: Lieutenant Shawn Fynn, Captain Rafer Janders and Lieutenant Pieter Koetzee. He enlists fifty men who are meticulously trained by Sandy Young. The shipment brilliantly solves the liberation in the prison camp. However, the plane sent to recover Limbani and the mercenaries doesn't land because Sir Edward, who in the meantime has taken advantage of some copper mines, wants to abandon Faulkner and all his men.
