Summary

A weather operator (Beal) stationed in Iceland, under suspicion of being a spy because he always seems to know when a convoy will be attacked, attempts to prove his innocence by volunteering for a rescue mission. One of those rescued turns out to be a cabin boy from a German spy ship, disguised as a fishing boat, which has been providing the U-boats with shipping information. Accompanying the boy to the spy ship, Beal pretends to agree to aid the U-boat captain aboard the ship in sinking a munitions vessel. Instead, he reports the presence of the spy ship, thus dooming it to destruction and proving which side he's really on.
