Dramatization regarding Lidice, Czechoslovakia and its fate following the death of Heydrich, Nazi-protector of the city.

We find agricultural people, many of whom are apolitical and willing to lead their lives under Nazi rule.

One man who had gone to England returns with others and their goals are for sabotage.

John Carradine, as Heydrich, is the ruthless, outrageous leader who is willing to do anything to maintain strict order and control.

One of the towns leading citizens shows his contempt when a priest is shot down during a town festival for violating group gatherings.

Carradine, in his dying words, is not exactly flattering to the Nazi cause, but Himmler uses his assassination to speak of unspeakable horrors which befell the citizens of Lidice.

The tension is constant as a people show their determination to show right from wrong in society.
