520    As the voice over proclaims, the 49th parallel is the only
       undefended frontier in the world.  The parallel is the 
       goal of a small group of Nazi's, survivors of a U-boat 
       that has been spotted and sunk in Hudson Bay, deep in 
       Canadian waters.  The United States is not yet at war with
       Germany, and if Corporal Hirth and his six crew members 
       can reach it, they can be repatriated to Germany with no 
       fuss.  But their trek across Canada becomes a fierce 
       struggle to survive, as they encounter and are opposed in 
       turn by Johnnie the trapper, a small Hutterite community, 
       a Canadian intellectual, and a Canadian soldier gone AWOL.
