Plot summary

During the first days of World War II, a port city in the north of France suffers a German bomb attack. The Ethel, a Swedish vessel, and its captain Ulf Åkesson gets permission to set sail for its home port. Ingrid Ekberg, a physiotherapist, has boarded the ship as a stowaway in order to go home to Sweden. She is however soon discovered and is put to work in the kitchen. On the way across the North Sea emergency signals are received from a Swedish steamer that has been wrecked due to a mine. Two men, Anton and Martin, are rescued. With Martin on board conflicts erupt on the ship. He falls in love with Ingrid, but has no success. When he sees that she and the captain are drawn to each other he tries to get his revenge by breaking the mandated radio silence, which leads to an intervention by a British submarine and the loss of both Martin's and Anton's lives. Ethel is allowed to continue its journey and arrives in Sweden.
