"Operation Secret" stars Cornel Wilde, Steve Cochran, and Phyllis Thaxter in a wartime espionage tale involving a raid on a factory, stolen identity cards, and characters attempting to reach safety by submarine. The story depicts characters trapped in a communist cell, with one named Marcel making a desperate escape attempt as others are locked inside. A separate musical narrative follows a singer's involvement with conductor Serge Koussevitzky, military service, and subsequent recording career at M-G-M, chronicling films including "That Midnight Kiss," "Toast of New Orleans," and "The Great Caruso."

In the shadow of World War II, a French intelligence officer assembles an unlikely team—a former Maquis fighter, a Gestapo veteran, and British and American operatives—to track down a dangerous murderer whose crimes continue long after the war's end. As they piece together their fragmented memories of a man who appeared in their lives under different identities and nationalities, the investigation pulls them back through years of espionage, prison camps, and narrow escapes, searching for the truth about Peter Forrester and the secrets he carried. What began as separate wartime missions converges into a deadly game where nothing—and no one—may be quite what they seem.
