- Synopsis
- A story of the Atlantic convoys. Survivors of a torpedoed merchantman, adrift in a lifeboat in the Atlantic, are shadowed by a German U-boat waiting to torpedo the ship coming to their rescue. (Much of the realism of the film is due to the cast which is composed of serving officers and seamen.)
