Synopsis

As a student touring Clydebank's Naval Shipyard, James impresses Lt Commander Weldon with his handling of the German bombing of that shipyard. Returning to school, James subsequently stumbles upon one of his professors, Keller, brutally attacked by some strange men. He gives chase but fails to catch the men. James returns to school once again only to arrive in time for a second night of bombing at the naval shipyard. All of his actions earn James a recommendation from Lt. Commander Weldon for training in a new kind of service.
