On December 6, 1941, Captain Yamanada (Nino Pepitone) of the Japanese
aircraft carrier "Hiranamu", orders full steam ahead for Pearl Harbor. His
ship encounters and sinks an American yacht and the single survivor,
Sue Curry (Marguerite Chapman), is rescued by an American submarine,
the "Sea Serpent", commanded by Commander Chris Warren (John
Howard). He hears her story and attempts to radio a warning to Pearl
Harbor. Yamanada, hearing the signals, orders the airlines jammed, and
then sends his son into the air to sink the sub. The attack fails, after the
sub makes a crash dive, but they fail in their warning attempts. The next
morning, December 7th, the men on the sub hear the story of the
bombing of Pearl Harbor, and devise a desperate plan to sink the
Japanese carrier by letting the carrier know their position. The carrier
comes in search of the submarine.
