It is the height of World War II. British shipping lanes, merchant vessels, supply routes, and warships are being decimated by the German navy. At the head of this navy is the seemingly indomitable flagship, The Bismarck. The British Admiralty decides that all effort must be made to find and sink the Bismarck. Tasked with this effort is Capt. John Shephard (Kenneth More) who finds out that the German Admiral Ljutens (Karel Stepanek) who led a raid that killed Shephard's family is the command officer of the Bismarck. Shephard's understanging of Ljutens tactics and habits allows the Royal Navy to successfully track down the Bismarck and allow for Shephard to have one final battle with the man who is the source of his internal grief.
