Near the end of World War II a German fighter pilot is executed in his parachute by the American who shot him down. The German's wingman witnesses the murder and vows retribution but the war ends before he can find the American.

The wingman's suppressed hatred of the killer boils up within him. He plots his long delayed revenge.
