Publisher's Synopsis
Two POWs are killed as they attempt to escape from the notorious German prison camp Stalag 17. The blame for their betrayal falls upon the cynical, self-serving Sergeant Sefton (an Oscar-winning William Holden), whose dealings with the enemy isolate him from his fellow inmates. But does Sefton's disinterest in team-bonding and group morale necessarily mean he is the traitor in their midst?
