Synopsis

Spies discover fertile ground for an attack on a movie set. The director is so successful and powerful that he was able to procure the use of U.S. Navy ships. The movie is meant to stir American patriotism, but the set is infiltrated by fifth columnists. Buddy, on board one of the submarines, discovers this and turns the tables on the saboteurs, while the ghost of George Washington appears to Uncle Sam to alert him of the danger. Together, Sam and Buddy defeat the spies but only after several ships have been destroyed.
