‘Pimpernel’ Smith
Eccentric Cambridge archaeologist Horatio Smith (Howard) requires a set of American and British archaeology pupils to pre-war Nazi Germany to assist in his excavations. His analysis is encouraged from the Nazis, because he professes to be searching for signs of their Aryan roots of German civilisation. However, he’s got a secret agenda: to free prisoners of the concentration camps.
