Aliases

Subterrâneos de Assis

Assissi 1943: Pater Rufino soll jüdische Flüchtlinge in das von den Alliierten besetzte Genua bringen. Den Auftrag dazu gab der Bischof von Perugia, der das Einverständnis des Ortskommandanten Müller hat. Ein deutscher Major versucht, die Aktion zu verhindern und macht Jagd auf Rufino und seine Schützlinge, die sich in Klöstern verstecken. Mit einer Hinrichtungsvortäuschung versucht der Major, Rufino zum Geständnis zu zwingen, doch vergeblich. Die Rettung bedeuten letztlich Blanko-Papiere von Müller und der Einmarsch der Briten in Perugia.
