Near the end of World War II, two German deserters are captured and put in a prison camp run by the Canadian Army. When Colonel von Bleicher—the rigid and militaristic commander of German POWs—learns about their desertion, he wants them court-martialed, even if the war has ended. The uninterested Canadian officers oblige him and the two soldiers find themselves facing the firing squad on "the fifth day of peace".
