Escape from the Ottoman Empire

In 1915, two British men, Harry Jones and Cedric Hill, were captured and sent to a prisoner of war camp in Turkey during World War I. The camp was run by a stern camp commandant named Kazim Bay. The prisoners, who could not escape due to severe reprisals, turned to a Ouija board for entertainment and communication. Harry Jones discovered that the camp commandant believed in the spirit world and saw an opportunity to use this belief to escape. Jones and Hill devised a plan to convince the camp that they were spirit mediums and mind readers. Through their performances, they gained the trust of the commandant and learned information about buried treasures. However, their escape plan was eventually foiled, leading them to resort to feigning insanity and eventually being repatriated to Britain.
