The nervous and inept behavior of Captain Queeg (Bogart) during maneuvers aboard the U.S.S. Caine attracts the attention of the ship's crew members and Maryk (Johnson), its executive officer. When Queeg's neurotic behavior reaches a breaking point during a fierce typhoon, Maryk takes command of the ship. Queeg then retaliates by having Maryk court-martialed. In a tense courtroom sequence, Lt. Greenwald (Ferrer), assigned to Maryk's defense, systematically breaks Queeg down on the stand. Maryk wins the case but the victory is short-lived as Lt. Greenwald reveals that they have all been the unwitting victims of shipmate Lt. Keefer (MacMurray), who actually instigated the mutiny for his own purposes. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Herman Wouk.
