But whoever broke into this Winchester Factory wasn't just looking to take weapons - they wanted to leave something in the shipping crates. A radio transmitter, set to summon a fleet of dreaded German U-boats to their location in the seas. This means only one thing: someone is trying to keep American supplies from reaching British shores. And if Bell doesn't crack the conspiracy in time, the Atlantic Ocean will run red with blood.
