After a German U-Boat is bombed to smithereens in the Hudson, its Nazi survivors determine to reach the still-neutral United States and hide out -- and they'll gladly murder anyone who tries to stand in their way.
The British government invested at least $100,000 in this film, as they felt it would be helpful in promoting the wartime cause.
