Joni, a welsh boy whose father is away fighting the Nazis, encounters an escaped Italian Prisoner Of War. Despite the war climate, not only does Joni help the fugitive to hide, but he also provides him with food, cigarettes, and bandages to bind his wounds. Instead of regarding him as an enemy, the boy looks at the POW as a sensitive paternal figure, who keeps a picture of his family in Italy. Toward the end, the escaped POW gives Joni a small handmade ship model to thank him for his help.
