Escape
Taylor is an American traveling to Germany to locate his mother Nazimova, a once-famous stage actress who had returned to the Fatherland to sell her late husband's estate. He befriends Shearer, a German-American who runs a girl's finishing school and who is having an affair with Veidt, a German general prone to dizzy spells. Taylor learns that his mother is in a concentration camp, condemned to de...mehrath for the capital crime of attempting to smuggle money out of the country. Shearer finds herself falling in love with the charming American and decides to help him, introducing him to Dorn, the anti-Nazi doctor in the concentration camp where Nazimova resides. Dorn gives Nazimova a drug that induces a death-like state, and her body is released to Taylor. As mother and son near the border, a snowstorm cuts off their escape, so Taylor takes the comatose Nazimova to Shearer's remote mountain estate. Shearer is moved by their plight and deceives Veidt who arrives moments after Taylor and Nazimova get aboard a plane. He learns of the plan and tries to warn officials but is struck down by another spell, and Shearer makes certain that the plane is not stopped.
