A ship loaded with ammonium nitrate catches fire and is abandoned by its crew at the mouth of the Danube, near the Black Sea.

In this thriller, a noted explosives expert (George Danica) is called away from his wedding feast to prevent the deaths of many thousands of people. The story of this film is based on a real incident which took place in 1971.
