John Wayne plays Captain Karl Ehrilch, in this drama which takes place
at the start of World War II. John is a German sea captain. When the
war breaks out, he outruns the British Navy half way around the world
in an attempt to return his ship and crew to their home. Lana Turner
plays a German spy who falls in love with Wayne during the voyage. At
one point, the German freighter lands on Auckland Island for food and
clothing. Unknown to Wayne, Lyle Bettger machine-guns six fishermen,
and Wayne is blamed. The British finally are able to sink Wayne's ship,
just short of Germany. Wayne and Turner, however, are able to escape to
Norway.
