There are a number of parallels to L'ammutinamento del Caine (1954). While the nature of the wrongdoing differed greatly, both stories involved unjust disciplinary actions on the part of the antagonist. Also, the point was made that while the young officer involved was enjoying college life, the antagonist in the story had been bravely protecting his right to do so. Also, the antagonist is led into a trap by the attorney during which his outburst reveals the true nature of things. Also, the individuals accused were shown to have done the right thing in part while actually doing the wrong thing. In addition, a key character provided key information but chickened out in the end. And, in both stories, the bright young protagonist develops a far greater understanding of his job and purpose, and goes on to greater things.
