The struggles of a captured partisan to escape
В начале Второй мировой войны шестеро болгарских коммунистов-подпольщиков были схвачены полицией и заключены в тюрьму. На допросах и пытках заключённые проявили необычайные стойкость и мужество - никто не стал предателем. Когда троих из них вели на казнь, то они успели сообщить оставшимся в заключении имя предателя, выдавшего их, чтобы это имя передали за стены тюрьмы и этим предотвратили дальнейшие провалы подпольных групп.
