Plot

Just after the end of World War II, Kwiatkowski, a military physician, finds himself in a quarrel with a Soviet officer. To avoid escalation, he pretends that he is a high-ranking UB official. After getting away with it, he is asked by a mother of an AK fighter to help her son from becoming a political prisoner. Kwiatkowski frees the young man by pretending to make an inspection of the facility he is jailed in. The fake officer decides to use the post-war confusion and lawlessness to liberate several other political prisoners.[2]
