Nachdem ihr Schiff von einem deutschen U-Boot versenkt wurde, treibt eine Gruppe Schiffbrüchiger in einem Rettungsboot orientierungslos auf dem Atlantik. Auf engem Raum kommt es zu bald zu Streitereien, die sich steigern, als sie den Kapitän des ebenfalls gesunkenen U-Bootes retten. Da er der Einzige ist, der das Boot navigieren kann, beschließt man, ihn am Leben zu lassen. Als klar wird, dass der Deutsche eigene Pläne verfolgt, wendet sich die Situation…
–––––––––––––––––––––––
Constance Porter, a journalist, has managed to get into a lifeboat as the ship she is travelling in is sunk by a U-boat in the World War II period. She is joined by several survivors, one of whom, Mrs. Higgins (Heather Angel) has gone mad after her baby dies in the attack. Mrs. Higgins kills herself soon after.
The others include an industrialist, an African-American steward, a radio operator, a nurse, a wounded stoker and a socialist seaman. The lifeboat drifts aimlessly until the survivors find another - Willy, a Nazi who got off the U-boat in time before it in turn was destroyed. The others debate about what his fate should be, and finally settle on letting him stay.
