Clint Eastwood stars as Pvt. Kelly. His platoon is fighting the war post D-Day in the farmlands of France. He has the fortune to capture a colonel of German intelligence from whom he learns that there is a fortune of gold bars in a bank in Clermont, 30 miles inside enemy lines. Kelly decides that he is going to get that gold and recruits the rest of his unit to help him. It doesn't take much for them to convince Sgt. Big Joe (Telly Savalas) to go along with this insane caper. Kelly also gets the help of some experts including supply Sergeant Crapgame (Don Rickles) and crazy beatnik Oddball (Donald Sutherland) who has three Sherman tanks at his disposal. When Major General Colt (Carroll O'Connor) finds out about a company of American soldiers who have made it far into enemy territory, he heads out there himself to award them medals, not realizing what their real incentive is.
