Cave Dwellers

Berlin, 1937, and the Nazi regime is in blossom. Arriving in the German capital with his adolescent son in tow is blow-hard American senator Thomas "Bull" Townsend on a mission, with friendly feelings toward Hitler's regime. While this visit unfolds, other characters are playing cat-and-mouse, including those resisting the Nazi regime and those doing their best to lock up everyone who opposes it. Enter young Oskar Langweil at a reception of the anti-Nazi elite, where he's enlisted by Germany's counterintelligence agency for a mission to the States in an attempt to overthrow the regime. The mission fails and Oskar sneaks back into Germany as the supposed husband of Socialist expat Lena. Meantime, Clairborne Townsend, the rebellious son of the American senator, goes missing in the company of Hagen von Ewigholz, his SS bodyguard. There follows a chase in which Oskar and Lena eventually throw in their lot with Clair and his SS guardian as the four implausible companions flee their pursuers.
