Synopsis:
Captain Storm and his crew fish the body of an American sailor from the ocean. Storm believes that the dead sailor is speaking to him, asking for a chance to fire a shot against the enemy. Dismissing the incident, Storm leads his crew against enemy ships.

After going ashore to get fresh water, the PT boat is attacked by enemy fighters. An explosion knocks the crew unconscious. Barely conscious himself, Storm wishes the dead sailor could fire on the enemy planes. The sailor appears and shoots down the fighters. When the crew recovers the sailor is gone. However, a smile now rests on the lips of the sailor's body.
