From exile the former dictator of the country, General Rados Gollan, is ready to return in order to invade with an army he intends to pay with 6 mill. Dollar he still has kept from his former dictatorship. The IMF is to stop him. Gollan lives in a huge estate, well protected by his own people, and seems to suffer from pneumonia (infected by Dr. Ziegler – IMF). Sister Tracey and Dr. Ziegler are called in to care for the patient. They do. He is sedated and transported into the bunker, a safe area underneath the estate. The two medical workers now care for a rubber doll looking like the sleeping general when people look at him through the door. 

No one is allowed to come closer to the "very sick man" who needs isolation. When Gollan awakes in the bunker, he overhears soldiers using the bunker as a place of refuge. The radios and screens they use inform about the ongoing World War III. He learns about worldwide destruction and that his area is contaminated by radio active rays. Frequent reports tell about worldwide battles, ongoing atomic contamination and one source reporting about a nearby battle ceases to exist. One of the soldiers is wounded. Captain Phelps gives him all the penicillin because he hopes the man will reveal military information to him when he gets better. Gollan also learns that he will die without penicillin and that there is not enough for two people. He is treated like an additional unnecessary man. 

Paris, one of the soldiers, is obviously bored listening to a wireless trying to find a channel someone is responding to. "Listening to the dead" he comments hanging in his chair and announcing he's fed up listening to the captain's commands. In his room Gollan is lying in his bed. "By chance" he listens to parts of a radio transmission reporting about the total destruction of Zurich, a report the others did not hear. The fact that Paris shoots the captain in a struggle because he does not like to be commanded any more gives Gollan an idea. When  Paris comes into the room the weak man is lying in to search it for valuables. Gollan bribes him. If Paris shoots the wounded soldier so that Gollan can get the life saving medicine, he promises to give him all his money. An angry Paris is not happy with the stuff that is around here but is promised Gollan's money in Switzerland. Paris agrees and Gollan gives away the Swiss account number. Now everybody, including the wounded and the dead, get up and leave the bunker leaving Gollan behind.
