Nazis and Japanese soldiers are using a stolen American radio to receive messages about wartime shipping and sinking ships. The American government fires all the radio experts and follows them to find the traitor in their midst. An innocent radio expert is then hired by the Nazis. Somewhere in all of this mess he ends up falling in love with a woman who is also part of the subterfuge.
It didn't have to be this complicated. Obviously, I followed most of the convoluted plot, but identifying the characters was a little difficult at times. The multitudinous droves of white men in suits were difficult to differentiate. For a war propaganda film, they sure went overboard on plot and characters. The audio and video were pretty standard for the era in which this was made and the style was nothing super-special. I'm not saying it looked or sounded bad, just "stock" as the guys from Metallica would say. I'm rating this o.k. because of how normal, standard and regular it was.
