A rebel leader imprisoned for trying to overthrow Austrian Emperor Franz Josef escapes from jail three years after an aborted political uprising in 1848. He quickly recruits six others sympathetic to his cause to take part in a kidnap attempt on the ruler. Although small in numbers, the group inflicts severe damage to the imperial guards before the last man enters the royal coach. In a satirical bit of ironic symbolism, the only one in the carriage is a dummy.
