During World War II, the British Navy faces a formidable adversary in the form of the German battleship Tirpitz. This imposing warship is securely anchored within a Norwegian fjord, rendering any conventional attack nearly impossible to execute successfully. However, in response to this grave threat, the Navy initiates a specialized commando training program.

Their audacious plan involves using miniature submarines to plant underwater explosives beneath the Tirpitz. These daring operatives will embark on a perilous mission, navigating the treacherous fjord waters to deliver a blow that could potentially cripple the menacing battleship.
