GRAVES WITH NO NAME At a World War II concentration camp in Poland, Nazi troops will kill 6 captives for every day that the head of the Polish underground, Artur, remains free. The 6 captives ask for Arthur to remain hidden, and that they are willing to die. The 6 are shot dead. Control at the circus. Back in London, the mysterious Control of O.S.S. enlists the aid of the Circus Mazurka.
