This is one of those films where the heroes are all very stiff upper lip and the villains are cold and mysterious, certainly a movie of the cold war period.
When an American plane gets drawn off course because of bad weather it mistakenly flies into East German air space, it's forced to land and the people are taken off the plane. When the authorities let the plane leave the stewardess Karin (Eva Bartok) is detained as she is an East German. She is taken home to live with her mother, whilst this is happening her fiancee Jim (Richard Greene) has arrived in Berlin to bring her back. This could be dangerous as she is being watched by Hans (Marius Goring), who works for the Stasi (the East German secret police). With the help of Linda (Andree Melly) Karin and Jim find her brother Peter (who the police are after) and start their escape to the West.
It all sounds more exciting than it actually is but it's got a great cast, especially Melly in a small role.
