Amid the intrigues of Nazi generals and an assorted collection of actresses, Gestapo agents, hostesses, and underground agents (all thrown in to confuse the plot and slow up the action), Martin, who is important to the Allies for some unknown reason, tries to make his escape from the carefully guarded, Hotel Berlin. In the same surroundings, a Nazi general is purged for his part in the plot on Hitler's life and an old, tottering room clerk becomes drafted into der Fuehrer's army in the picture's only humorous scene...

...incredible guilelessness of Isaac Emmanuel's errand, and his courage and dignity before his brutal judge and torturers, serve all the more to convince the Gestapo that he has a great deal to cover up. After prison scenes which recall those of Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, the old man is released, thanks to an Anglo-Jewish cabaret star and a Nazi bigshot (Walter Rilla) who is infatuated with her. When at length old Isaac does find the boy's mother, she has married a Nazi and has so wholly betrayed all that was ever good...
