WWII: The S.S. Golden Venture is at sea when war is declared between Britain and Germany. After narrow scrapes with U-Boats the ship arrives safely in Cape Town where the cadets have a run ashore and unwittingly betray their next destination to a German spy. Lourenzo Marques contains a German freighter which has supposedly been interned by the Portuguese. However, it breaks out to sea where the Golden Venture overcomes her in conflict. Later Captain Harrington manages to outwit the German pocket battleship Graf Spee by pretending to be carrying a cargo of explosives.
