Just before the outbreak of the Korean War, fourteen Christian ministers are arrested by North Korean communists; twelve are executed in Pyongyang, while two survive. Captain Lee and Colonel Chang, who are dispatched to investigate the case, attempt to turn the twelve executed pastors into martyrs for propaganda purposes. One of the two surviving men is mentally ill, while the other, Pastor Shin, remains silent about the incident. Suspected of having betrayed the twelve dead men, Pastor Shin is torn between telling the truth behind the incident and his sense of duty as a pastor.
