Stalag 17 trailer 

The film is set in Christmas of 1944 during World War II, where the American POW's have to handle a security leak. Two men have already been killed and Duke feels the person who leaked information is J.J. Sefton who is always trading with the guards. He informs everyone he did not provide the Germans with any information and has no reason to flee, for he plans to serve in the war. Yet, who is the one spying and providing all of this information?
