29th July 1942 Captain Kenneth Town sets on the voyage of fourteen thousand submarine infested miles round the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt on the sea train Texas known by the code name Treasure Ship. His orders are to deliver a shipment of badly needed tanks, tank destroyers and assorted weapons that would top the tanks that Rommel had.

It was a voyage of the ship that the Nazis had to get and getting the tanks to Egypt was the most important order that Captain Town was ever to receive.
