Professor Ákos, a world-famous scientist arriving in East Berlin is then lured to West Berlin, thanks to a betrayal by a colleague of his. Kádas, who accompanies the professor, is interned. Ákos pretends to accept the situation, but sticks to having Kádas, his assistant, by his side. Ákos and Kádas prepare their plan to escape while at the American Embassy. They get Örvös out of the way, who is eventually killed, paying rather a high price for his betrayal. They make it to East Berlin with the help of an illegal group of communists, and then return home. "Real science serves the cause of peace and one's own country" reads the slogan above the head of professor Ákos while delivering his lecture at a conference. (official distributor synopsis)
