The last days of World War II. A lonely outpost of the Third Reich up in the mountains. The German commander orders the execution of a young soldier. Staring death in the face, the condemned man seizes his last chance and appeals to the pity of the firing squad. When the squad hesitates, the commander must cover his own hands in blood. Shortly afterwards, two GIs arrive in a jeep, marking the end of the war.
