Eminent scientist Sir Ernest Pease is forced to parachute into captivity when his bomber is damaged over Germany. He poses as a Naval Officer and arrives at a camp where he is suspected to be an informer by both the authorities and prisoners alike. But the latter become infinitely more helpful when they discover that he is in fact a very important person.
