The Wooden Horse

1950 · drama · history · Jack Lee

In a POW camp, the Nazis have placed the huts far from the boundary so that any escape tunnel would have to be a long one. One British officer has the idea of starting a daily gymnastics routine using a vaulting horse: they can place it near the boundary and start a tunnel from under it. He and two others escape the camp by this means and plan to make for neutral Sweden.
