When enemy divers race the U.S. Navy to salvage a downed Red military transport in the Yellow Sea, Captain George Brant and his underwater demolition squad find themselves in a desperate fight for a stolen document that could turn the tide of the Korean War. With enemy junks blocking their path and time running short, Brant's frogmen must dive deep, plant explosives, and recover the vital communist battle plans before their opponents can claim them.

Killer Pack!

U.N. convoys fall victim to swift, mysterious undersea attacks off the Korean coast, and when naval intelligence discovers the enemy is operating high-speed midget submarines from a disguised mothership, an underwater demolition team led by Lieutenant R. Rangers is dispatched to hunt them down. After the frogmen spot the enemy vessel masquerading as a whaler, Ranger devises a daring plan to turn one of the subs into an unwitting delivery system for their explosives. It's a tense night raid where timing and nerves will determine whether justice is served for the hospital ship and its fallen crew.
