This film essentially begins with the Coast Guard receiving a distress call from a large sailboat located in a part of the North Atlantic Ocean known as the Devil's Triangle. Two helicopters take off but one turns back due to technical difficulties leaving only "LtCdr. Pagnolini" (Michael Conrad) and his assistant "Lt. J. Haig" (Doug McClure) available to complete the rescue mission. That said, when they they finally locate the boat but find nobody on deck and as a result Lt. Haig is lowered unto it to look around. Initially he finds three dead bodies but upon further investigation he discovers an attractive blonde named "Eva" (Kim Novak) hiding in a small compartment in a state of shock. He then tries to bring her back on board the helicopter but the rope breaks and as a result the two of them are forced to stay on the boat while LtCdr. Pagnolini heads back to base to refuel and bring more help. So needing details to fill out his report Lt. Haig asks Eva what happened and it's then that she tells a tale that is too bizarre to be believed. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that the topic of the Devil's Triangle was quite popular during this specific time and as a result there were numerous movies, documentaries and books devoted to it with this particular made-for-television movie being one of the more solid ones at the time. Admittedly, it has some dull scenes here and there but the ending made up for it somewhat and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
