Plots(1)
An elegant comedic story of a Polish acting troupe, who help, in their small way, to resist the Nazi occupation. When it is discovered that a Polish hero, residing in Britain, is actually a German agent, a Polish RAF officer is deployed to stop him. Upon arriving in Poland, the RAF officer, together with the already forewarned actors, concoct a convoluted charade designed to collect the information from the spy, kill him, and pass on the false information to the Gestapo.
