| Description |
The plot has to do with the startling experiences of the commander of a British submarine, who, while the guest of a society hostess in England, is ensnared by a daring gang of Hun spies. The Kaiser's agents endeavour to obtain from the British officer a secret naval code, and plan to carry him by aeroplane a captive to Germany. There is exciting plot and counter-plot leading up to one of the most thrilling climaxes imaginable. |
