Output (English): In 1943, Dave Stephen Boyd, an officer, and Jim Tony Wright, escape from separate prison camps and are paired together by the underground. They are taken to Marseille by a fishing boat captain to wait for the right opportunity to try for Britain. While they wait, local woman Lise Anna Gaylor falls in love with Dave. He is attracted to her, but is engaged. Meanwhile, Emile Blanchard Eugene Deckers refers those desperate to leave France to Dr. Martout James Robertson Justice, unaware that his associate is a serial killer who grows rich from his crimes. According to Robert Osborne of Turner Classic Movies, reallife murderer Marcel Petiot was the inspiration for Martout. Jewish undertaker Schlip and exVichy official Bourdin George Coulouris become his latest victims. Given an ultimatum by his displeased superiors to do something about the French Resistance, the German military commander of the city decides to evacuate and demolish the crimeinfested Old Quarter, where Dave and Jim are hiding, with only two hours warning. Dave wants to wait for the fishing captain, but Jim chooses to try Dr. Martout. When the captain does show up, Dave goes to fetch Jim, barely saving him from becoming Martouts 100th victim. Martout escapes in his car, but in his haste, crashes and is killed. With buildings blowing up right and left, the pair make their way, with Lises help, to the boat and freedom. Aboard the boat, Dave and Lise embrace.
