In the early months of the World War II, Nazi Germany's ''Kriegsmarine'' sends out merchant raiders to attack Allied shipping. The Royal Navy responds with hunting groups whose mission is to stop them. The group that finds the heavily armed Deutschland class cruiser ''Admiral Graf Spee'' near South America is outgunned: ''Graf Spee'' is equipped with long-range 11-inch guns, while the British heavy cruiser has much lighter 8-inch guns, and the light cruisers and have 6-inch guns. Despite this, they go straight to the attack.
