'Butch' Rogers (Pat O'Brien) welcomes new recruits to submarine school. 'Sock' McGillis (Wayne Morris) keeps badmouthing him. They are competing over Ann Sawyer (Doris Weston) after an earlier incident with Sock's best friend Tom. Butch and his class join submarine D-1 USS Dolphin under Lt. Commander Dan Matthews (George Brent) on a mission.
They are supposed to be on a mission. The lackadaisical attitude do not engender any tension. They keep stopping at ports and going to nightclubs. This should be a simple rescue mission movie. It's over an hour before the movie gets to that point and it finally becomes an interesting thriller. The Navy can use some new futuristic gears and do some underwater work. It's the only part of any interest, but even here, the pacing is rather slow.
