Default Upside down flag

Heard a curious conversation on a late night talk show.
One of the speakers said: " If you ever see a warship
flying its national ensign (flag) upside down it means that
the crew has mutinied and taken over the vessel..." Is that true? If so, is
it a international sign known to all sailors
and what mutiny originated it?
