Owing to a fuel shortage the plane is forced to alight on the sea, where the commander and Jack Connell, second officer, keep up the crew's spirits; and while they are being sought by a battle fleet, the PN9 drifts to an uncharted desert island, where they find Jan Berg, an old sailor, and Marie Larson, who survived a shipwreck.
