It is World War II and the Nazis have just sunk an American ship. Among the people to survive the attack is the ship's engineer Jim Taggart (John Litel), a one-time New York City cop. Taggart is rescued by a fisherman living on a tiny island off the coast of South America but recognizes the man to be Joe Morgan (Alan Baxter), a former New York gangster. Morgan has been living on the island, lying low and staying at a halfway house that also serves as a bar for the island's farmers and traders. Soon Taggart discovers that Morgan has been selling torpedoes to the Nazis, but he doesn't know that Morgan has designed the missiles to explode when the German boats go to sea, thus sinking them. Things go haywire from this point on as confusion and mayhem result when each side - the Allies and the Nazis - question just whom Morgan is working for. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
