Storyline: Count Pietro Bellini was an unusual and unpleasant man. He was apparently Italian and someone even the Germans deferred to; in summary-quite coldly ruthless.
Norman Deane was under interrogation from this man - Bellini wanted to know the the whereabouts of The Liberator- possibly the most wanted of all the men in the Resistance. Bellini would kill and torture as casually as other men would crush an insect.
