A tense wartime thriller about one man's desperate flight through Nazi Germany, sustained by the hope that he alone might escape the fate of his fellow prisoners.
In Nazi Germany in 1936 seven men escape from a concentration camp. The camp commander puts up seven crosses and, as the Gestapo returns each escapee he is put to death on a cross. The seventh cross is still empty as George Heisler attempts an escape to freedom in Holland.
