A largely negative review in the London Times offers the following synopsis:

'Judie (Miss Joan Tetzel) suspects that the death of her father, the head of the Bland-Nordahl Whaling Company, was due not to suicide but murder. She travels to the Antarctic to find out the truth, and Duncan (Mr. Ladd) signs on as first mate. The villainy of Erik Bland (Mr. Stanley Baker) would have been exposed earlier than it is had not the film the merciful habit of dropping the whole nonsensical business every now and again in favour of illustrated lectures on whales and whaling.'
