In the aftermath of World War II, a German professor is mistaken for a deceased Nazi officer due to his uncanny resemblance to the man. Fleeing Nazi hunters, he reluctantly teams up with other Nazis as he attempts to survive.
In the aftermath of World War II, an Austrian Shakespeare professor is mistaken for Nazi official Martin Bormann due to his striking physical resemblance and becomes forced to keep up the performance as a group of other Nazi officials fleeing prosecution in Europe take him to escape across the border and eventually to South America.
In the days after WWII, as Soviet forces and a multitude of revenge seekers diligently patrol Eastern Europe for fugitive Nazis, an ordinary German professor with an uncanny resemblance to top-ranking Nazi officer Martin Bormann is caught without his passport and mistaken for the man. He quickly determines that his only way to survive is to exploit the ruse and take advantage of the network and resources offered by other escaping Nazis.

Elsewhere, RUTH MILSTEIN (?) and CHARLES INMAN (?) of the US Army assist in the interview of the captured Axmann. Axmann claims Bormann is dead, but since his body cannot be found, it is difficult to convince the American forces of this.
