Columbia made a lot of really low budget action films involving the Nazis and Japanese during World War II. Some are better than others with a few absolutely Red shed and the others no more than passable time fillers. This is one of the later, starting off with the heroic Bruce Bennett trying to get a sick young boy to dry land so he can get decent medical attention.
Bennett is unaware that one of his men (John Beal) is a double agent for the Nazis, which will come in handy when Bennett is out captaining a vessel filled with explosives. Beal however has guilt feelings and under the orders of Nazi submarine officer Hans Schumm arranges for the boat to be right on target for the submarine.
Nurse Virginia Field provides the romance and moral lesson, and twists involving Beal change the outcome. Plenty of action, a little bit of comedy and romance, and the presence of future stars like Larry Parks and Lloyd Bridges makes this unacceptable time passer, but there have been much better movies about Nazi sabotage attempts, so this one's easy to forget once you get through it.
