第二次世界大戦の最中、ノルウェーに基地を持つドイツ軍に対抗した連合軍は、アメリカとカナダの兵によるコマンド部隊を編成し、ノルウェーに潜入する計画を立てる。アメリカ陸軍参謀フレデリックの指導の下わずか3か月の訓練が始まるが、ならず者ばかりのアメリカ兵と、クラウン少佐指揮のもと一糸乱れぬ統制をみせるカナダ兵は対立する。しかし決死的な猛訓練を続ける中で、アメリカ兵とカナダ兵の間にも戦友愛が芽ばえ始める。

The Canadian contribution to World War Two was extraordinary in scale and variety. More than one million people, out of nation of just eleven million, volunteered to serve. To transform a small, virtually unequipped military into a powerful army, navy and air force was a remarkable achievement. No Price Too High traces Canada's involvement from the prewar years through 1945, explaining the events of the war in the context of the political and military realities of the time. There is none of the second guessing that has characterized so much recent analysis of the war. No Price Too High draws on original sources - personal letters and diary entries, and powerful photographs - to evoke the mood of those momentous years. The thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears, and heartbreaks of the generation of Canadians who faced the war are captured. Produced by Norflicks, No Price Too High chronicles Canada's role in the major events of the war, including The Battle of Britain, Dieppe and D-Day.
