Shortly after arriving, he is introduced to beautiful Stephanie Varna (Bonita Granville), a Hungarian schoolteacher who is secretly involved with a Russian colonel. She manages to lead Tom to the Cardinal only days before he is thrown into prison, while a wave of false arrests and mysterious disappearances envelops the brave souls who dared to follow the Cardinal's anti-Communist lead. Inspired by the true story of Cardinal Mindszenty's persecution and trial in Hungary, the documentary-propaganda style of Guilty of Treason examines the Hungarian Communist regime which rose to power after Nazi rule.
