During WWII, Antoine Rossi is a prisoner in a POW camp in
Germany. He has made several attempts to escape, but on each
occasion he has failed and has to wear short red trousers as a warning
to other would-be fugitives. Antoine is not deterred, however,
and prepares to make yet another break-out attempt. Hiding
beneath the stage of the camp theatre, he is discovered by Fendard,
another prisoner of a timid and cowardly disposition. Antoine
coerces the latter into helping him escape and, for once, it looks as
if he will succeed. But Antoine’s luck soon changes for the worse
and he finds himself at Fendard’s mercy. Should Fendard help the
man who has threatened and intimidated him, or should he leave him and
save himself...?
