In October of the year 1940, while navigating in the Atlantic, the outline of a merchant ship comes into view, sailing without lights through the darkness of the night. She is the Kabalo, which later turns out to be a Belgian vessel, and suddenly opens fire on the submarine and its Italian crew.
A brief but fierce battle ensues in which Todaro sinks the enemy ship with gunfire. And it is at this point that the commander takes a decision that will go down in history: to rescue the twenty-six members of the Belgian crew from drowning in the middle of the ocean and tow their lifeboat to the nearest safe port, as required by the law of the sea.
