Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this WW II drama, American POWs aboard a Japanese ship revolt when they learn that their vessel is to used as a decoy for an American submarine. The rebellion is quite bloody and 30 women and children die before the Yankees break into the radio room and announce their presence to the oncoming submarine. Shots are fired, but at last the Americans beat the Japanese and are rescued.
