****SPOILERS**** Over-plotted and ridicules movie about a relic green glove that's the object of the films jewelry hunt up and down the mountains hills railroads and goat tracks of central and southern France. In the film Michael Blake, Glen Ford, sees the light in the end, or you can also say beginning, of the movie and returns the valuable glove to the Abbey of St. Elzear where it was lost for seven years during the last days of the Second World War. With that unselfish deed Michael made the Abbey's bells ring again.
Long, even though the film is under 90 minutes, and senseless movie that stretches it's story with a snoozing train ride and a unintentionally hilarious chase up and down the steep and dangerous goat track by the St. Elzear Abbey. At that time Michael is persuade by Count Paul Rona, George Macready, and his hoods to get their hands on the green glove that's in his possession.
The movie ends, like it started, with the bells ringing at the Abbey's bell tower as the green glove was returned to it. In fact the ending was not what you thought it was from what you saw at the beginning of the film. Michael got involved with the green glove when he dropped in on St. Elzear, back in August 1944, as a US paratrooper. After taking Rona, who he caught stealing it, prisoner as a German spy the ceiling suddenly crashed down on him, after being hit by an artillery shell, with Rona fleeing and Michael ending up with the green glove. Michael left it, the glove, with some towns-people who had no idea what was in the satchel that Michael gave them as he took off to the more important grind of fighting and winning the war.
Coming back to Paris after the war was over Michael tries to get things right by having the green glove returned, after he finds those who he gave it to, gets involved in a number of murders which he and his girlfriend and tourist guide Chris, Geraldine Brooks, were framed for by the devious Rona. Rona and his thugs followed Michael to France in order to get the green glove for himself.
Michael also gets beaten up and knocked around with him falling through a glass sky-window. Later he almost drinks himself blind drunk in his effort to return the green glove back to it's rightful owners, the people of St. Elzear .
Michael is reunited with Chris at the end of the movie and even with all the physical endurance and battering around that he went through in the film his hair is still oiled and so neat that not one single strand is left out of place.
