Synopsis
Paris, 1942. Having been arrested and tried for armed assault,
René Bornier feigns insanity to gain admittance to a psychiatric
asylum, from which he intends to make his escape. Here Bornier,
better known as René la Canne, meets Marchand, a French
policeman who was incarcerated after poking fun at the German
authorities. The two men strike up an immediate friendship but
any hope of escape is extinguished when the Gestapo turn up. In
no time, Bornier and Marchand find themselves on a train bound for a
German labour camp...
