In this drama set in Guatemala, the leader of a revolution kills a general and hides out in the Mexican embassy and is protected by a highly principled ambassador who stands face in the face of police pressure. Later the diplomat arranges safe passage out of the country for the rebel, despite the fact that the fellow had an affair with his wife.
