A captured man frantically gives information to save himself, confessing he saw a man named Frank killed by 'Old York' because Frank was a military informant. Satisfied with the truth, the powerful captor still orders his execution. The captive's son arrives, witnesses the killing, and vows revenge, screaming he will kill the man responsible. The captor has the furious young man taken back to his camp. There, the captive's mother and sister arrive to demand his release. The captor offers them a cruel choice: take a truckload of canned food and leave, or stay for their son. They choose the food and abandon him, leaving the young man utterly betrayed and screaming in despair.
