Hasil is serving a nine-year sentence in the mines, where he loses strength every day. He tries to come up with an escape plan and convince his fellow prisoners to risk their lives for freedom. Meanwhile, at Marie’s home, an unexpected person knocks on the door, asking for help.

Hasil has made it to the West, but in the refugee camp, he is half a prisoner. He has only one option to return to Czechoslovakia - to become an agent for the American intelligence service. But he must act quickly, as Marie has a new serious suitor.

Hasil crosses the border one last time to finally take Marie and his son with him. However, the border guards know everything and launch an extensive operation with only one goal: to kill Josef Hasil. The final battle worthy of the true King of the Šumava begins.
