Lieutenant Carlos Tejada has been transferred to Salamanca and his new police duties include monitoring parolees - former professors who were fired for protesting a Franco decree. Elena Fernandez, having lost her job because of her political sympathies, has returned home from Madrid where she and Tejada had become romantically involved. Elena's father, a parolee, is asked by a Jewish friend to help them escape France before they are repatriated to Germany. Elena must go for her father to San Sebastian where her path crosses that of Tejada once again.
