Coast Guard anti-saboteur patrol. "Vital war shipping must be protected on the docks....as well as on the high seas," reads an official order by Vice Admiral Russell R. Waesche, commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. These armed Coast Guardsmen are shown getting their orders at a East Coast port before they start their patrol in the blitz buggies.
