On a battlefield during the first World War, a group of French soldiers experience something which causes them to drop their weapons and walk away from the fight. During their subsequent court-martial, each gives his differing account of what he saw, which all seem impossible to believe.
Alfred Ryder stars as convicted and condemned murderer John Marriott, who is on the gallows awaiting to be hanged, desperate and scared for it to be stopped. He strangely gets his wish when the noose breaks, and after Marriott claims to have seen his true cause of death(not hanging) becomes jubilant and defiant to the authorities, who are indeed unable to hang him! He will however not escape justice, as an ironic and abrupt fate awaits him much sooner than he thinks.
