In un campo di prigionia tedesco dove sono rinchiusi alcuni militari americani, un tentativo di fuga di alcuni prigionieri viene sventato. Nasce il sospetto che una spia si nasconda fra loro ed i sospetti all'inizio convergono su Sedgewick, un cinico sergente che tratta con i soldati tedeschi per poter avere speciali privilegi, ma dopo essere stato picchiato, Sedgewick stesso è determinato a scoprire il vero traditore.
