Synopsis:

Captain Hardt (Conrad Veidt), a World War I German submarine commander, is ordered to lead a mission to attack the British Fleet at Scapa Flow. He puts ashore on the Orkney Islands to meet his contact but finds more than he bargained for in his local contact, who masquerades as a schoolmistress (Valerie Hobson).

When a German U-Boat captain is sent on a spying mission to the North of Scotland during World War One, he finds more than he bargained for in his contact, the local schoolmistress.

A German submarine is sent to the Orkney Isles in 1917 to sink the British fleet.
