A Nova Scotia mine disaster where three men were caught in a cave-in was the basis for this film. A doctor, the mine owner, and a foreman are the ones trapped beneath the ground. McLane, a draegerman in love with the doctor's daughter, leads a group in to save the men. The film builds
excitingly to a last-minute rescue in this well-done paean to draegermen, whose job is to rescue victims of mining accidents.
