In 1939, American Tom Martin, who fought in the Spanish Civil War, awaits execution at the
hands of the Fascist victors when reporter Augusta 'Gusto' Nash, for a scoop, aids him in an
audacious escape. Of course, Tom tries to romance Gusto; but though she likes him, her
career comes first, and Tom himself prefers freedom-fighting to settling down. Comedy
becomes drama as their mixed feelings lead them on a circuitous path through the
deepening chaos and catastrophe of the early days of World War II.
