Commander Richardson (Clark Gable) loses his submarine and crew to the J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e while trying to attack the Momo in the Bongo Straits. After pining about it behind a desk, he forces the department to give him a new sub. The condition is that the second in command is competent. This is all well and fine except the second in command, Lieutenant Jim Bledsoe (Burt Lancaster), was to be the next captain of the ship and resents being subjugated.
They constantly drill for fast dives and quick torpedo shots. Yet, the first chance at a J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e submarine, and he sneaks away. What is Commander Richardson up to? Lieutenant Bledsoe has his suspicions, and so do we.
