After World War II, a massive cache of Nazi gold disappears. General George S. Patton, who survived a 1945 car crash, begins probing the theft. His investigation draws the anger of defeated Nazis, the suspicion of Soviet agents, and the jealousy of a flamboyantly gay colonel and his lover, all fearing what Patton may uncover.

Full Plot Summary and Ending Explained for Brass Target

Read the complete plot summary of Brass Target, including all major events, twists, and the full ending explained in detail. Explore key characters, themes, hidden meanings, and everything you need to understand the story from beginning to end.

In postwar Europe, days after V-E Day, Gen. George S. Patton, George Kennedy, orders that the hoarded Nazi gold be moved to the Reichsbank in Frankfurt. But before the shipment reaches the city, the gold train is robbed and 59 U.S. Army military policemen are killed with poison gas in a tunnel. A cadre of corrupt American officers, led by a colonel, masterminds the crime. Patton launches an investigation that initially points to OSS Maj. Joe De Lucca, John Cassavetes, from whom the thieves co-opted a wartime plan to steal the gold.

De Lucca begins his own inquiry. He first visits his old wartime commander, Col. Mike McCauley, Patrick McGoohan, who is now living in a requisitioned German castle. Meanwhile, as the case closes in, the conspirators hire a professional assassin, Max von Sydow as Webber, to kill Patton and derail the investigation. Soon De Lucca meets Mara, a former girlfriend, Sophia Loren, who can help uncover the culprits. They discover that Webber is also on their trail, and intent on eliminating Patton. The pursuit carries them across war-torn Europe as they race to protect the general and expose the responsible officers. In a climactic deception, Webber, posing as an American soldier, engineers a staged traffic accident that claims Patton’s life when the attacker fires a rubber bullet at the exact moment of collision, breaking his neck. De Lucca closes in on the assassin and kills him with Webber’s own weapon, bringing the case to a brutal and decisive end.
