John Wayne plays an anti-Nazi German freighter captain who feels duty bound to get his ship back to Germany after World War II breaks out. Lana Turner comes on board. She is a carrier of secrets that the Nazi's want. Of course she turns out to be Wayne's love interest as the movie progresses. After escaping from the harbor in Australia Wayne sets a course to evade the pursuing British war ships. Running out of fuel they put in to an out of the way island to cut trees for fuel. This is a little hard to believe as green trees will not burn well at all and produce a LOT of smoke. The smoke would make it easier for the chase ships to locate them, especially if there is any air search.
