This early collaboration between Ford and Wayne is an evocative portrayal of the trials and tribulations of the crew of a wartime tramp steamer as it makes its way across the Atlantic to the UK carrying a top secret and potentially deadly cargo of high explosives. The atmosphere on board is claustrophobic and tensions heighten as the steamer passes through the submarine zone, only to be bombed and machine-gunned by enemy aircraft within sight of land.
