Fictionalized account of downed American flyers captured by Germans who try to trick them into giving important military information. One is wined and dined by German pilots who use small talk to try to get him to say something. In another scene, a pilot laid up in the hospital falls for his pretty German nurse who tricks him into filling out a fake Red Cross form. In the end, Lloyd Nolan speaks directly to the camera, and to the enlisted men watching this training film during WWII, all the mistakes that were made.
