In 1944, at the end of World War II Commander Casey Abbott (Ronald Reagan) from the United States Navy is assigned for a strategic mission in which his task is to retrieve an underwater mine developed by the Japanese. When he is forced to abandon his mission and submerge his submarine called 'The Starfish', his actions result in diver Wes Barton (Harry Lauter) having an untimely death. Lt. Commander Don Landon who is Casey's executive officer implies that Casey's actions was due to the fact that Barton has been dating his sweetheart, Navy Nurse Lieutenant Helen Blair (Nancy Davis) but Casey is vindicated by the court. Shortly after, Casey is assigned to a second mission whereby he later blames himself for the loss of sixty of his crew as well as his submarine too as they suffer a tremendous enemy attack.
