Seventh of a series of true stories of heroism and adventure in dramatic form
' Buried Alive '
Script by Jerome Willis
Alfred Southon , captured in the Western Desert, was a prisoner-of-war in Italy when the Italian armistice was declared. This is the story of his adventures from the moment he broke out of a prisoner-of-war camp. For fourteen months he was a partisan in northern Italy and eventually started on a bid for escape over the Alps, which ended in disaster.
