Poco prima dello scoppio della seconda Guerra Mondiale, un giovane reporter americano scopre un complotto: un anziano leader del movimento pacifista internazionale viene rapito dai nazisti. A capo del complotto c'è un finto pacifista inglese, in realtà gerarca nazista. Quando il primo viene liberato, la guerra è ormai scoppiata; l'inglese muore durante un attacco aereo mentre sua figlia e il reporter si salvano.
