It's 1941 Canada. A German U-boat breaks through the ice to deliver soldiers into the far north. They meet up with an established spy network. One of them is found by RCMP officer Corporal Steve Wagner (Errol Flynn) and his partner. Wagner's German ancestry is discovered. He's discharged and gets recruited by the network.
This is not the usual Errol Flynn swashbuckling fare. There is still some 'outdoors' action. This is not using the best of his attributes. He struggles to play a double agent. The Nazi scheme is way too convoluted and unrealistic. It would be so much easier to come up with a random MacGuffin. I also don't like them wearing their uniforms. They are Nazis. I don't want them following any rules of war. Despite all that, this is a fine espionage action thriller for the war effort.
