Eight years after his court martial, Lieutenant Commander Hugh Alginon Fraser (Howard) returns to the Royal Navy to serve England during World War II. Given command of a decrepit destroyer and assigned a motley team of seamen — which includes a Canadian first officer (Donald), a Cockney sailor (Attenborough) and an American cook (Tufts) — Fraser initially clashes with his new officers and men. However, commander and crew forge a bond as they prepare for battle.
