Корабли, на которых доставляли в Англию продовольствие, можно было потопить или вывести из строя, этом случае в стране начался бы голод. Пытаясь добиться этого, немцы применяли мощное оружие — магнитные мины, подводные лодки и надводные корабли. Это были грозные и подвижные карманные линкоры — морские тигры. За 10 дней до объявления войны один из этих линкоров покинул немецкий порт и, незамеченным, проник в южную Атлантику. Многие месяцы никто не подозревал, что там притаился убийца. До тех пор, пока не начали исчезать корабль за кораблем…
