Edward G. Robinson narrates a wartime documentary-drama about the Allied anti-submarine patrol protecting Atlantic sea lanes. The broadcast follows a patrol aircraft searching a prescribed sector, locating a German U-boat and attacking with depth charges while shore controllers coordinate the wider hunt. Robinson connects the mission to the largely unseen Army-Navy effort that made troop and supply crossings possible and looks ahead to the Atlantic becoming a free highway again after victory.
