Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this propagandistic WW II drama, an innocent merchant vessel is targeted by Nazi bombers. The boat is nearly sunk after the raid. Still it stays above the waves and the hapless crew is able to be rescued by a passing Allied fleet. Unfortunately the crew is even more endangered than before because the fleet is involved in direct conflict with enemy ships. The courageous merchant sailors willingly join the fight.
