He makes his highly success- twenty-minute documentary filmm made by the Crown: Film Unit.

Acted entirely by a cast of actual seamen they found Billy White, aboard a ship returned from China it is a real-life drama of a convoy."

Has His Revenge

Billy joins a ship which is mortally hit, and is rescued by lifeboat I'll get my own back," he says.

So he joins another ship, takes up a gunnery course," makes a perilous voyage through a mine- field and then spots a U-boat,

There is a crash of guns and Nipper, A.B, has his revenge.

A simple story of our gallant seamen, but with more genuine thrills than many a full-length feature film"
