Howard is accused of spying and threatened with death. While waiting to escape France on a fishing boat, he and his charges are discovered by the Germans. As an Englishman, he is an enemy to the occupying forces. Eventually, he and the children are stranded in Nazi-occupied France. His journey is hampered by the unexpected speed of the Nazi invasion of France, and by the fact that he eventually finds himself entrusted with the custody of seven young children. Entrusted with the care of two English children, and overtaken by events, he attempts to return to England and safety. The story concerns an elderly Englishman, John Sidney Howard, who goes on a fishing holiday in France after the outbreak of the Second World War, but before the fall of France.
