There is Johannes, an enthusiastic Nazi - and his elder brother, Kurt, who is in love with Magda, a wealthy Jewish girl. Jack and Kurt become friends and when Jack is advised to leave Germany as the political situation worsens, Kurt asks him to help Magda escape. Kurt, whose loyalty to his country has been strained, also reveals to Jack that the Germany navy has built a super-U-cruiser for commerce raiding in the event of war.
