In the movie "The Stranger," the man working for the War Crimes Commission is Wilson, portrayed by Edward G. Robinson. He is tasked with tracking down and capturing Nazi war criminals that have fled to various parts of the world following World War II.
Wilson receives a tip that an important Nazi official named Franz Kindler, played by Orson Welles, has assumed a new identity and is hiding in a small Connecticut town called Harper. Determined to bring him to justice, Wilson arrives in Harper and poses as a regular visitor, gaining the trust of the townsfolk.
Under his new identity, Kindler has become a respected teacher named Charles Rankin, and is about to marry the daughter of a renowned Supreme Court Justice, Mary Longstreet, portrayed by Loretta Young. Unbeknownst to her, Mary is slowly falling in love with Rankin.
As Wilson digs deeper, his suspicions about Rankin/Kindler continue to grow. He discovers evidence linking Kindler to his past crimes, but he needs concrete proof to expose him to the authorities. With time running out and danger escalating, Wilson races against the clock to gather evidence and reveal Rankin's true identity.
As Wilson gets closer to the truth, Rankin becomes increasingly paranoid, realizing that his secret may be exposed. He takes drastic measures to protect himself, including eliminating anyone who could potentially expose him, even his own wife.
The tension builds as Wilson uncovers the horrifying truth behind Kindler's actions during the war, leading to a dramatic climax in which the two adversaries face off in a cat-and-mouse game of survival and justice.
"The Stranger" explores the themes of post-war guilt, the consequences of evil actions, and the moral responsibility to bring war criminals to justice. It delves into the psychological complexities of the characters involved and serves as a gripping thriller that exposes the haunting legacy of Nazi atrocities.
