Navy Spy

Naval lieutenant Matthews is kidnapped by enemy spies seeking the formula for his revolutionary new military fuel. Federal agent Alan O'Conner is assigned the task of rescuing the scientist. Joining forces with beautiful reporter, Bobbie Reynolds, he follows the trail of clues to a tramp steamer leaving port with the captive scientist aboard. They manage to smuggle themselves aboard but will be hard-pressed to survive as they attempt to free the prisoner.
