Synopsis
Ship engineer Jim Taggert is rescued from a torpedoed tramp steamer by Joe Morgan, an American gangster that found New York too hot for him, and has become a fisherman operating from an out-of-the-way island off of the coast of South America. Morgan makes his headquarters at the Halfway House run by the parents of Maria Styx as a bar and dance resort catering to the planters and traders of the island. Taggert finds himself practically a prisoner along with a group of American girls acting as entertainers at the resort. Taggert shadows Morgan in his activities in a remote cove and finds that Morgan is supplying German U-boat commanders with torpedoes, but does not know that Morgan has rigged the torpedoes with clock devices that explode when at sea and sinks the U-boats.Actors

La formule Grand Hôtel qui était si surchargé de travail dans les années 1930 a fait une apparition encore dans Escape to Glory 1940. L'histoire est donnée en temps opportun en plaçant les personnages sur un navire marchand britannique le jour même que la Seconde Guerre mondiale est déclarée. Le navire est attaqué par un nazi U-Boat, ce qui entraîne dans une variété de réactions des divers passagers - dont l'un (Erwin Kalser) est un médecin allemand. Constance Bennett est glamour, Pat O'Brien est boozy, John Halliday est pensive, et tout le monde (à l'exception du medico allemand) est simple peur.
