Right before the end of the World War II, a special forces squad enters the mental hospital, located in a good-looking old manor house, in order to take away the patients. Yet, Gestapo has been informed that there is a spy hiding among the insane. Officer Windisch has to find the malingerer among the few hundred mentally ill patients and a chase begins.
