在这部自由之火剧情/战争片中,本片描写了二战期间纳粹占领下的挪威，一支德军驻扎到特莱斯这个仅800居民的渔业镇上，当地百姓立即分成了三派，鱼罐头厂卡斯帕明确表示支持德国人；医术高超的马丁医生则保持中立；工人贡纳和马丁医生的女儿凯伦则加入到当地抵抗组织，他们在英国特工帮忙下获得了武器。德军指挥官豪普特曼·科宁中尉对当地人民的反抗非常恐惧，不断对当地百姓进行残酷镇压。一天，当德军因为报复德国士兵被杀死，要当众杀害包括马丁医生在内的抵抗组织成员时，全镇有正义感的人不再沉默了，他们在贡纳指挥下同仇敌忾，纷纷拿起武器，投入到消灭侵略者的战斗中…
片尾旁白：
“如果还有谁不知道为什么会有这场战争……让他看看挪威”
“如果还有谁幻想这场战争可以避免……让他看看挪威”

It's two years after the Nazi's invasion of Norway, and in a small fishing village that is headquarters to one hundred fifty German soldiers, the eight hundred locals are stewing, waiting for a supply of arms so they can revolt. Leaders include Karen Stensgard (Ann Sheridan), whose father, Dr. Martin Stensgard (Walter Huston), is not all that sure that an open revolt will accomplish much, and whose brother has previously proven to be disloyal to Norway, and Gunnar Brogge (Errol Flynn), a fisherman who was planning to sail to England to fight, but changed his mind on hearing of English arms being delivered. Although the Nazi's cruelty is evident, the townspeople bide their time, until one incident causes the stewpot to boil over.
