Story

An American soldier named Ernie Williams bears a striking resemblance to a British colonel and possesses a talent for mimicry and disguise. He's recruited to assume the colonel's identity for what he believes is a covert military operation. However, the situation becomes far more complicated when circumstances force Williams to maintain his impersonation, now serving a different and more dangerous purpose during wartime.
