Doug and Becca MacKenzie, two teenage orphans, are forced to live with their uncle after their parents mysteriously disappear. Their uncle, Fitzroy MacKenzie, is the sea captain of a research ship named Expedient. Doug and Becca over hear Fitzroy talk to an unusual passenger, and decide to do some snooping about. As they learn, Expedient is not a research ship at all. It is a World War II Q ship. As a Q ship, the Expedient is disguised as a defenseless cargo ship, but once an enemy ship comes within firing range, cleverly hidden guns rise above the deck and open fire.
