Le scénario s'inspire de faits authentiques qui se sont déroulées pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale en Italie. Ici, ce sont les aventures d'un groupe de résistants italiens originaires de Gênes et dirigé par le commandant Vento qui sont évoquées. Ceux-ci doivent s'emparer d'une cargaison d'armes destinées à l'occupant allemand. Aidés par un comité d'ouvriers en grève menés par Marco, ceux-ci parviennent à leurs fins, après plusieurs péripéties pleines de tension. Les chasseurs alpins italiens, un moment hésitant, et placés devant un dilemme crucial, choisissent eux aussi d'entrer en résistance.
