The opening of the story introduces the young hero, Motor Matt, and his friends as they operate the submarine Grampus, while they fall into both excitement and danger. After rescuing five Chilean convicts from an overturned boat, their situation complicates as they confront treachery from those very convicts, leading to an arrest by the Chilian Navy. Tensions escalate as Matt strives to navigate the challenges presented by the convicts and their connections, all while trying to protect the submarine from potential threats posed by mysterious foreign adversaries.
