Abd al-Karim Kassem was the Prime Minister in Baghdad back in 1959, and there were a number of underground revolutionaries that took it upon themselves to try and assassinate him. When they find out that their attempt failed, these revolutionaries take the initiative to keep hidden among the different neighborhoods, but when they discover that the secret police are currently onto them, they decide to flee to the countryside for their own safety, and among these people is the future president of the republic, Saddam Hussein.
