When the German Nazis take over Greece without much of a struggle, they believe that they can loot the archeological treasures to enrich the coffers of the Fuehrer. Because there are many war criminals, they set up a prison camp, mixing the locals with the captured armed forces. The prison is run by two men with very differing methods. Major Otto Hecht (Roger Moore), who as a former art dealer loves the finer things in life and SS Major Volkmann (Anthony Valentine), a man driven by brutality. A small group of prisoners enjoy the hospitality of Hecht while he conspires with his sister in Switzerland to trick the Nazis out of the treasures he has found. All appears to be going well as Hecht is growing rich and the prisoners are enjoying a luxuries prison until they hatch a plot to escape and root the Germans out of Greece once and for all.
