"Meet the craziest pair of soldiers ever to play at war! - they're both prisoners - but who captured whom?"
During World War II, a plane full of RAF fighter crashes in the Ethiopian desert and they are met upon by an enemy Italian patrol that allows them to go free. But, when the Brits are given orders to attack the Italians, lots of problems ensue.
