Plot Summary for Casablanca 1942

In World War II Casablanca, Rick Blaine, exiled American and former freedom fighter, runs the

When Nazi Major Strasser arrives in Casablanca, the sycophantic police Captain Renault does what he can to please him, including detaining Czech underground leader Victor Laszlo. Much to Rick's surprise, Lazslo arrives with Ilsa, Rick's one time love. Rick is very bitter towards Ilsa, who ran
out on him in Paris, but when he learns she had
 good reason to, they plan to run off together again using the letters of transit. Well, that was their original plan...
