Howard W. Campbell Jr., an American living in Germany since childhood, becomes a Nazi propagandist during World War II as part of his role as an American spy behind enemy lines.

However, his past catches up to him when he's drawn back into the world of espionage by a complex web of spies and neo-Nazis. Eventually captured by Israeli agents, Campbell defends himself by stating that he was an American spy.
