Montage of brief scenes in World War 2, around Port of Tunis, Tunisia, following Occupation by Allies in 1943. The first is view from a ship rising and falling with waves or swells in water, with sun setting in background. Next a high speed boat (perhaps a PT boat) is seen churning up large white wake as it speeds about in waters near Tunis. Closeup of a sailor (aboard the camera boat) manning a deck gun. He maneuvers the gun in various elevations and directions and then fires a round from it. Another crew member fires a tripod mounted Browning M 1919 air cooled 30 caliber machine gun. A third sailor fires a twin 20mm antiaircraft gun from a station atop the ship. A soldier fires his rifle from the ship's deck at sunset. Camera pans across widely spaced group of warships in the distance, and continues panning to show city of Tunis on the horizon. Now in Tunis harbor, the camera ship moves past a sunken ship with masts and funnel showing above water surface. Anchored transport ships silhouetted against light sky in the harbor. Stern view of a landing craft infantry. Huge explosion occurs in the water. An American soldier is seen on a sandy hill plunging the handle on a detonator. Views of waters turning rough in the area.
