- Marineville, I'm calling
battle stations.

Anything can happen in the
next half hour.

[dramatic music]

- [Diver] You mean we
gotta go in there?

- [Diver] Listen pal, I told
you this would be no picnic.

Let's get moving.

- [Diver] How much further
is this it, are we here?

I don't see any--

- [Diver] Give yourself time,
Kingsland.

Follow me.

[pleasant music]

[ominous music]
[rumbling]

- [Kingsland] Hey
what's that noise?



- [Diver] A rockfall
further along the tunnel.

I hope it doesn't
block our path.

Now, take it slow and
easy from here.

We don't want to bring the
whole roof down on top of us.

[pleasant music]

[dramatic music]

- [Kingsland] It's fantastic,
gigantic.

It must be 20 foot across.

Let's go down and take
a closer look.

- [Diver] Okay, but
remember our air supply.

We've just got enough to
return to the surface.

- [Kingsland] Bromley
we gotta get it open.

- [Bromley] Yeah that's
gonna take some doing.

We'll have to wait for the
shell to open on its own.

And our air won't last out.

- [Kingsland] But if this
baby's got a pearl in it

like the legend says, it
would be worth

maybe a million dollars.

- [Bromley] More
like 10 million,

but we can't wait
around to find out.

- [Kingsland] If
only we had more

up to date breathing equipment.

- Yeah yeah yeah, I know.

But right now let's get back

to the ship, time's running out.

[upbeat music]

[sighs]
Gee, we just made it.

Another couple of minutes
down there and we'd be goners.

- Yeah, now let's get
back to the boat.

Say, look!

- Ahoy there.

This is captain Troy Tempest,

World Aquanaut Security Patrol.

Identify yourselves.

- I'm Mike Bromley and
this is Chick Kingsland.

What's this all about?

- These waters are off limits
to unauthorized traffic.

Climb aboard your boat.

We'll have to take you in
for questioning.

- Off limits, what does he mean?

- It's an oyster farming area.

Protected by the WASPs.

Guess we'd better do as he says,
huh?

Where are you taking us,
captain?

- Back to our base at
Marineville.

And you'd better have a
satisfactory explanation.

- Okay, start talking.

I'm a busy man, so
make it brief.

- Well, it's like this sir.

Me and Kingsland were
investigating an old legend--

- I said make it brief.

- Yeah, okay.

Well this legend says
that in a deep cavern--

- Brief man, brief!

- Right sir.

In this cave is a giant oyster,

which the legend says
contains a pearl

worth maybe 10 million dollars.

Well, we hadn't got the right
equipment to get the pearl--

- Troy, get these
guys outta here.

You know we don't sponsor
treasure hunting romantics.

- But sir, just think
what a pearl that size

could mean to the WASP.

- Father you know we use
crushed pearls for insulating

our radioactive isotopes.

This could help us.

- You mean this giant oyster
could be the same species?

- Isn't it worth finding out,
commander?

- If you put it like that,
I guess it is.

Okay, I'm putting you in charge,
captain.

Bring that pearl back
to Marineville.

[dramatic music]

- Guess we can relax
for a while.

Say, you don't look too happy,
Marina.

What's wrong Marina?

You don't usually act
like this on a mission.

Don't you want us to go?

- Or has it got something
to do with the pearl?

- Why should she be upset
about the pearl?

- Maybe it's some sort of
superstition of the sea,

that you know about the pearl
being a bad omen or something.

Is that what you believe,
Marina?

- Oh Marina, we can't let
superstitions worry us.

We've got a job to do,
you know that.

Okay Bromley, let's go.

You lead the way.

- Good luck Troy, Bromley,
take it easy.

- Yeah, good luck.

- Ah Marina, we have
our superstitions too.

We have to learn to live
with them, that's all.

Now stop worrying.

[emotional music]

[ominous music]

- [Bromley] Ah let's
take a rest.

We can afford to now

with the Marineville
breathing equipment.

- [Troy] Yeah, I don't
know how you managed

with your old gear.

- [Bromley] You're a pretty
trusting sort of guy, Tempest.

Guess you're not scared, huh?

- [Troy] What do you mean?

Why should I be?

- [Bromley] Well, I've
been down here before.

If I wanted to, I could
get you lost and leave you.

You'd never find your way
out in a million years.

- [Troy] Yeah, that's right.

Guess I am in your hands, but
I don't scare easily, Bromley.

- [Bromley] No, I
guess you don't.

Let's get going.

[ominous music]

Hey take it easy along
this stretch, Tempest.

This part of the roof has a
nasty habit of falling down.

It happened last time.

- [Troy] Great,
that's all we need.

[rumbling]
The roof!

It's going!

[rumbling]

[dramatic music]

Are you okay Bromley?

- [Bromley] Yeah,
yeah I guess so.

Thanks for pulling me clear.

- [Troy] Forget it, now let's
see how bad that rockfall is.

- [Bromley] It will
take too long.

Our air won't last out.

We'll have to turn back.

- [Troy] Who's scared now,
Bromley?

Come on, let's get working.

[upbeat music]

[dramatic music]

Okay, guess we can
get through now.

Just used up a good
hour's air supply.

- [Bromley] Yeah, we'll
have to work fast.

We're here, follow me.

[ethereal music]

[dramatic music]

Now what do you think of that,
Tempest?

- [Troy] It's fantastic,
and those smaller oysters.

I've never seen 'em light
up like that before.

They're in a kind of pattern.

Like soldiers on parade.

- [Bromley] Now we've just
got to wait until it opens.

- [Troy] It better be fast,
we've got about 10 minutes

before we have to start
back to Stingray.

[ethereal music]

Come on my beauty, open up.

- [Bromley] How much
longer Tempest?

- [Troy] We'll have to start
moving in five minutes.

Get ready with that rod.

- [Bromley] We can't wait
any longer, it'll be suicide.

- [Troy] We'll give it a
few more minutes.

We can't give up now.

- We haven't got time, let's go!

- Just a couple more minutes.

- You can wait here if you
like, I'm getting out of here.

[ethereal music]

- [Troy] Bromley, wait!

The oyster.

Quick, the rod.

- They should have
been back by now.

They won't have enough air.

I'm going in after 'em.

- [Bromley] My air, it's
going Tempest.

- [Troy] Bromley, don't stop,
you'll die.

[dramatic music]

I can't go on.

[dramatic music]

Guess Marina was right, this
pearl's got a jinx on it.

- [Phones] Troy, hang
on I'm coming.

Yes Troy, get to work on these.

- [Troy] Thanks Phones, you
came just in time I guess.

- [Phones] Say, you
got the pearl.

What a beauty!

Oh man, it's fantastic.

- I guess it was worth it.

Thanks for saving our lives,
Phones.

- Aw, forget it.

Tell me, do you feel okay now?

- Yeah I guess so.

All right, let's get back
to Marineville.

Commander Shore will
want to see this beauty.

- Not so fast, Tempest.

You're not going anywhere.

- What is this, Kingsland?

- I guess you weren't
smart enough

to figure our plans, Tempest,

but thanks for helping out.

- You're crazy!

You won't lose by
playing it straight.

10% of the pearl's value
will be yours.

- That's just not enough,
captain Tempest.

We want the pearl.

- Don't be a fool, man.

- Well listen, Tempest
saved my life in that cave.

Give him a break, Kingsland--

- Don't tell me you're
going soft, Bromley.

This was your idea, remember?

You said we was gonna
grab the pearl

and bump these guys off.

- Yeah I know, but
Tempest helped me.

Let him go.

They can't do us any harm.

Not out there in the ocean.

- No I guess they can't.

Okay, so Bromley just
saved your lives.

Now get outta here!

- Just get this straight,

I am not leaving this ship.

- Get smart, Tempest.

Do like Kingsland says
and live a bit longer.

It's better than a bullet.

- He's right, Troy

and we gotta think of Marina.

- Okay, but I'm not licked yet.

[militant music]

Make for the surface.

We'll be able to conserve
the air in our tanks then.

We may need it later.

[dramatic music]

- Okay okay let's go.

- Sure sure.

When I've figured out
these controls.

[dramatic music]

- What chances are there
of being sighted

by an aircraft or a ship, Troy?

- Just about nil, I guess.

We're just three specks
in a vast ocean.

Say, where's Marina?

[dramatic music]

- Right, I think I've got
these controls worked out.

- Say, what's that noise?

- Ah relax, you're just jumpy.

Here we go.

[whirring]

- We're not moving,
what's wrong?

Bromley, look!

- Marina, where have you been?

Why did you go off like that?

- Troy, she's trying to
tell us something.

- She seems to want
us to go down.

Okay Marina, lead the way.

Phones, look!

- [Phones] What are they?

- [Troy] I don't know,
let's get closer.

- [Phones] Why they're oysters,

but why are they gathered
around Stingray?

- [Troy] I don't know, I've
never seen anything like it.

It's as though they've been
attracted by something.

Phones, I've got it.

The giant pearl.

- [Phones] Maybe you're right.

But one thing's for sure

Bromley and Kingsland
are up to it.

- We're trapped.

- Yeah.

- What are we gonna do?

- I'll try the hatches.

The hatches are jammed,
we can't do a thing!

We're entombed in here.

Wait, Tempest.

Maybe he can help.

- Yeah yeah, get him
on the radio.

He's gotta help.

- Okay, Stingray to
Tempest can you hear me?

We're trapped, you've
gotta help us!

- [Troy] Quit whining, Bromley.

I don't know how, but
we'll try to do something.

Well Phones, what are
we gonna do?

You got any ideas?

- [Phones] I guess not, Troy.

I reckon there's no way
of moving those oysters.

- [Troy] Yeah, guess that pearl
is causing all the trouble.

I've got it!

Maybe if we get rid of the
pearl, the oysters will leave.

- [Phones] There's a chance.

I guess Marina would know.

- [Troy] Yeah but she
can't hear us down here.

Take her up to the surface,
Phones,

and ask her if it'll work.

- [Phones] Okay skipper.

- [Troy] Now listen carefully,
Bromley.

Here's what you've gotta do.

Get the pearl to the
missile ejection tube

and prepare to fire it.

- Okay Tempest, but what gives?

- [Troy] Just do as I say, then
wait until I give the word.

- If the pearl leaves Stingray,
will the oysters follow it?

That's great, okay let's
get down to Troy again.

- [Bromley] Okay Tempest,
the pearl's ready to go.

- [Troy] Good, while you're
there you can put your guns

in the tube, too.

- [Phones] Marina figures
it will work, Troy.

- [Troy] Great Phones,
let's hope she's right.

You all set Bromley?

- Yep.

- [Troy] Okay, operate
missile launch controls.

[dramatic music]

- What are you gonna do
to us Tempest?

You can't shoot us.

- Bromley stopped you shooting
us, so I'll return the favor.

Now we're quits.

I'm taking you back
to Marineville

to spend a long time in jail.

Tie them up, Marina.

Marina, Marina?
