Synopsis

Montegreco, a small town on the Greek-Albanian border, is captured 31 different times in 1943 by Italian troops led by Colonel Di Maggio and by British troops under Colonel Henderson. Iride, the tavern hostess, and the other townspeople are indifferent to the hostilities and fraternize with both sides. Upon returning to the tavern to retrieve his pipe during an Italian occupation, Colonel Henderson is captured, but Colonel Di Maggio exchanges him for two prisoners and two cases of whiskey. Ordered to attack the village, the British capture Di Maggio, but Henderson effects his escape. As the German Army attacks the Greek border, Major Kruger orders the destruction of Montegreco; Di Maggio promptly arrests the German, but Di Maggio is sentenced to be executed by the SS for his illegal action. Henderson rescues him, and by September 8, the two men are fighting a common enemy.
