A wartime memoir recounts Lieutenant Pat O'Brien's escape from German capture, including air combat, daring desertion from a prison camp, evading guards in Belgium, and a perilous trek toward a contact who can help him reach Holland. The narrative mixes battle scenes with tense forest and village maneuvers as he nimbly dodges searches and disguises his identity.
In wartime narration, O'Brien recounts meeting a kind Belgian, Huyliger, who helps him obtain a forged passport and plan escape to Holland. The plan involves disguises, a priest persona, and smuggling through borders while confronting the extortionate demand for payment. Tensions rise as O'Brien resists blackmail and seeks control of his fate.
