The scene is a remote viialge in a German Protectorate five years after the end of the war; the plot concerns the diabolical plan of a German scientist to transform free men into docile slaves by de- stroying their minds, memories and their souls. The far-reaching results of the mad scheme carry deep and surprising implications as to the inevitable struggle of conquered men to gain freedom.
