Chapman offers to work as a spy for the Germans, who are deeply skeptical of his motives. They eventually fake his execution and smuggle him into occupied France where, working closely with his handler, Col. Baron von Grunen Yul Brynner, he is trained to be a spy. Eventually, he is dropped back in England, but goes straight to the police and eventually to the British military. He shows him his identity card and several of the radio frequencies that the Germans were using. The British officials believe Chapman was executed in Jersey, but since some of the frequencies are known to them already as German, they reluctantly negotiate with him. In return for working as a double agent, he demands a full pardon for his crimes and 5,000, as well as a war commendation.The Germans radio a message ordering Chapman to blow up the Vickers aircraft factory. The British let him demolish part of the factory to convince the Germans that Chapmans cover has not been blown. He is sent back to Germany where he receives the Iron Cross, but manages to return to London at the end of the war, to collect his compensation. ........
