The survivors of a U-Boat crew attempt to infiltrate Canada to escape across to the still neutral United States.
Rambling propaganda WWII drama which looks pretty ropy nowadays, with variable writing and performances, but individual cameos are compelling and with a splendidly scenic documentary depiction of Canada, and also nurturing talent which went on to bigger things subsequently.
