We start in 1942 Japan, where German naval officer Kruse (Martin Benrath) is protesting his assignment as First Officer instead of Captain of the ''Ingo'', a freighter carrying vital supplies to the war effort in Bordeaux. The Admiral Wendel takes the opportunity to snark at him, mentions that he's not going to enjoy his own posting on a submarine, and reminds him that orders are orders, no matter your rank.

Cut to British-held India, where a Colonel Statter (Creator/TrevorHoward) is blackmailing a Mr. Schroeder (Brando), whom British Intelligence knows is a deserter from the German military. If Schroeder facilitates the capture of the freighter leaving Japan, he will be left alone to live as he chooses. If he refuses, British and German forces will have an exchange of hostages, which would place Schroeder in the hands of the Gestapo. Schroeder relents. He will pose as an SS Standard Leader named Hans Kyle, disable the scuttling charges on the ship, and be picked up by American forces when all is said and done.
