The film is about the crew of a submarine. Captain Liers is at their head. On patrol they sink a British ship. On the way back they are led into a trap. The vessel facing them appeared to be neutral. When it attacks they sink it as well. As they prepare to pick up survivors they are hit. The submarine goes down to the sea bed. Everything but the bridge has flooded. Ten men are left. But there are only eight escape sets. Liers orders the crew to go up. They do not obey the order. Rudolf Forster and Camilla Spira take the leads. The film opened in the first days of Nazi rule and was taken up in the propaganda of the period. Gustav Ucicky’s German film was finished in 1933.
