What happens

U-Boat Prisoner, also known as Dangerous Mists, is a 1944 American film. Direction was credited to Lew Landers. The script was written by Aubrey Wisberg. It was based on the book U-Boat Prisoner: The Life Story of a Texas Sailor by Archie Gibbs, who survived the sinking of two ships on successive days in World War II, the freighter Scottsburg, of which he was a crewman, on June 15, 1942, and the freighter Kahuku—which had picked up Scottsburg survivors— on June 16, and was taken prisoner.
