He is quickly exposed to the horrors and realities of war and is captured by the American prison camp he meets up with a sadistic French civilian overseer of the prison program, singled out and subjected to the harshest of treatments. With the help of another prisoner, they set up a plan of revenge to deal with their superior, especially since he had met a French girl quite innocently and his treatment had worsened upon exposure.
