A British prisoner of war becomes imprisoned alongside his best friend from home, unaware that while he was captured, the friend began an affair with his wife.

Captain Fred Allison has been in a German Prisoner of War Camp for a long time. It has been two years since he last saw Monica, a girl he met, married and bought a house with six days before leaving for the front. It has also been a very long time since she last wrote to him. A month after all the prisoners have been put into lockdown after a failed prison break, two things change. One is that the camp gets a new commandant; the other is that Fred's oldest and dearest friend Digby shows up. While Fred is happy to see Digby, he says little about Monica, whom Fred speaks of constantly. Unable to tell Fred that Monica fell in love with him, Digby escapes back to his own lines. But because of a murder that occurred during his escape, he could facing the trial of his life and also the trial by Fred, who found a letter that Monica wrote to Digby.—Tony Fontana <[email protected]>
