Canadian flyer in London recognizes a wealthy man on TV as a former POW in Germany. The man had an uncanny resemblance to his friend and another prisoner (both played by Dirk Bogarde), and he is convinced that the man on TV murdered his friend and stole his identity. He plants a story in the local tabloid and is promptly sued. The long courtroom drama which follows takes many twists and turns, most of which are entirely predictable. Bogarde gets to act with himself using shaky back projection.
