Letelier), a French lieutenant captured by the Nazis, attempts to escape by opening the door of a car on his way to prison, but fails and is placed in a cell in Montluc prison in handcuffs. Determined to escape, Fontaine communicates with his neighbors by banging on the walls, and begins exchanging letters and other things with a prisoner strolling in the courtyard. One day, however, his handcuffs are removed and he is transferred to a cell on the third floor. His neighbors do not respond when he taps on the wall. In the few moments he has to throw away his filth and wash his face, he exchanges information with the other prisoners. He observes the planks of the cell door and thinks that he might be able to cut away the seams. Luckily, Fontaine obtains an iron spoon and chisels it by shaving the handle on the cell floor...
