Das britische Mini-U-Boot XE 51, eine geheime Entwicklung für Sabotageaktionen, erhält den Auftrag, ein deutsches Schwimmdock an der Adria, von dem bei der geplanten Invasion der Alliierten in Italien eine erhebliche Gefahr ausgehen könnte, zu sprengen. Kommandant der vierköpfigen Besatzung ist Ralph Curtis, ein Mann, dem es in brenzligen Situationen manchmal an eiserner Nervenstärke mangelt.
