Written and directed by George (The Bridges at Toko-ri) Seaton, Traitor describes how Erickson (William Holden) was shanghaied into espionage by the Allies, how he made "business trips" to Germany and reported what he saw and heard, how he came to hate the Nazis and to like his work, how he fell in love with a companion in espionage (Lilli Palmer), how he was betrayed by a nasty Nazi schoolboy but was rescued and smuggled to Sweden...
