Although told otherwise, two men take an unsafe submarine to the ocean floor searching for a rumored forest of gems. As expected they quickly get into trouble and need rescue. As Stingray ...
- [Announcer] Stand
by for action.
[explosion]
[dramatic music]
We are about
to launch Stingray.
? Stingray, Stingray ?
Marineville, I am calling
battle stations.
Anything can happen in the
next half hour.
? Stingray, Stingray ?
? Stingray, Stingray, Stingray ?
No, no, no.
I absolutely refuse to give you
a certificate of undersea
worthiness for your craft.
- I agree with you Commander.
I've seen their tub.
Couldn't there be some
truth in what they say?
- Troy, you don't mean
you've fallen for this
crazy legend about a gem
forest beneath the sea.
It's ridiculous!
- Well, no sir but,
I think Stingray oughta
go check it out.
You never know.
There's been a whole
heap of rumors lately.
- A forest that grows jewels?
This is Marineville
Tempest, not fairyland.
- Some people need to move
with the times.
- I heard that Tempest!
I maybe old but I'm
sure not death.
You are dismissed Captain.
You two guys still here?
I already told you,
your craft's not fit
for deep dives.
Now please get out!
- Hepcat's going just great man.
- Yeah, for my money I'd run
out the fathom's dad and dive.
- Yeah, say how about that?
Who needs any old
certificate anyhow.
Let's lied out to deepsville man
and to Juno with
commander daddy-o.
- You mean like crash the
waves without a ticket?
- Yeah, why not?
There could be a fortune
in bright stuff
waiting for us down there.
Let's make like the fishies.
- On the button buddy boy.
[upbeat jazz music]
Four miles on the nose.
- Yeah.
- That brass hat in squaresville
said Hepcat wouldn't give,
ya know?
Like a folder.
- Like the cat Tempest gave out.
The commander's ancient there.
- Hey, what's with
your bones man?
They're creaking.
- You know me dad, I
had an oil check
before we let out
from landsville.
- Then why the music?
- Relax.
So we've got some creaks.
We should flip.
Crazy dad.
We're shipping the wet stuff.
- Like make with the pumps
man or we'll be fish food.
- Dangerville man.
The pumps piping up the seas
like sleeping on the job.
- You mean, you mean
like she's folded?
- Yeah, pressure.
Commander daddy-o said it.
Hepcat's dead man.
A daisy pusher.
- Say, that means this
is like the end?
- Maybe unless we hit
Marineville's
wavelength with our talking box.
- Sure, sure, sure.
The radio marker.
- I'll move it out now.
Let's hope those cats
pick up our whales.
[upbeat jazz music]
[morse code beeps]
- Atlanta, as in
emergency SOS coming in.
Have Stingray crews standing by.
Sound action station.
- Yes sir.
- Say, that code.
It's Hepcat's.
Those two young fools must've
disobeyed me and gone down.
Sound launch stations.
- Acceleration rate six.
Head in for SOS call.
- Crazy it is.
We told them their ship
couldn't do it.
Guess the lore of that legendary
gem forest was too great.
- How 'bout that?
Do you think it could exist?
- Well like I told
the Commander,
down here anything's possible,
but I guess there's no evidence
to even suggest a
forest of jewels.
[upbeat jazz music]
Phones, there she is.
- That's Hepcat okay.
- Get my skin suit and gear.
[mysterious jazz music]
Hepcat from Stingray,
come in Hepcat.
Can you hear me?
Come in Hepcat.
Are you okay?
- Hi Stingray.
Guess we're running
out of the oxygen jazz.
Like breathless man.
- Okay Hepcat.
I'm going to bring an
airline over
and pump some buoyancy
into your tanks
to get you to the surface.
Let's hope the tanks
aren't punctured.
- Great dad.
Say, my buddy pal is
coming out of dreamsville.
- [Radio] Okay, I'll be
with you in a few minutes.
- Wow oh what gives man?
- The cat Tempest is coming over
like soon with some of the
life breeze, an airline.
[upbeat jazz music]
- Okay Phones,
airline's in position.
Start the pumps.
- Okay Skipper, pumps operating.
- Okay Hepcat, we'll
see you on the surface.
Release the airline.
- Cool man, lifeline
away and thanks.
- Say, what's that?
Phones, I'm going back
to check something out.
There's something shiny
on the sea bed.
- Okay Troy but watch
your air supply.
You only took one
cylinder with you.
- Phones, I've fallen down
an undersea crevice.
I've lost my buoyancy
I can't move.
- Troy, your air.
It must be running
down mighty low.
I'm coming to get you.
- Yeah, guess my air is
nearly finished
and my leg, it hurts.
Say, my air's gone.
I can't breathe.
Phones, I'm suffocating.
Can't breathe.
My head, it aches.
I'm finished.
Suffocating.
Gotta get air.
Gotta get air.
Say, I'm breathing still,
but I've got no air.
I can't be breathing but I am.
I'm living without air
yet I'm still alive.
I'm breathing!
Say, why should I
need air anyway?
I can live down here okay.
Who needs air?
What do I want this
crazy mask for?
Gee, I feel great now.
Let's get rid of this
air cylinder.
This is great!
I feel like a million dollars.
Gee, I never see
plants like this.
They're beautiful!
I don't believe it but it's
there, the forest of gems.
[enchanting music]
Say, these leaves, they're
made of gold and silver.
Diamonds, rubies, emeralds!
I found the gem forest!
It really exists!
I'm rich!
Yippie!
I must be the richest
man in the world!
I'm the richest man in
the whole, wide world!
[enchanting music]
- Oh great one, do you
require anything?
- Guess you can peel me
another grape.
Marina, play something
sweet and gentle.
[harp music]
It's great being the
richest man in the world.
- Oh great one, I have
importants news.
A craft from the
terrain approaches.
- Send it away.
I don't want any
visitors today.
- But master, it's Stingray
all the way from Marineville.
- Now what did they want?
I finished with my old
life and they know it.
- But they've come a
long way oh great one.
- Okay, let them in if
that's what they want.
[enchanting music]
- Tempest Towers to Stingray,
you have permission to enter.
Stingray has entered the
air lock oh great one.
- Okay. Let them in.
- Tempest Towers to Stingray,
please pass down the
corridor from air lock
and enter by southern door.
- Troy, I've come to
ask you to reconsider.
Return to Marineville with me.
Give up this life, it's
making you soft.
- Give it up?
Are you crazy commander?
Give up all my riches?
Never.
- But the service needs you.
It's your duty.
- I'm the leader here.
I decide what is my duty.
- Is that your last word?
- Yes Commander, it is.
- Can't you talk some
sense into him Phones?
- I'll try Commander.
I figure he should return
to Marineville too but-.
- Phones, I can hear you.
Traitor!
Commander Shore, I'll thank
you to leave my palace.
- Okay I'm going,
but never ask me for
anything ever again.
- Why Should I ask him?
I have everything here,
everything, haven't I honey?
- Why sure Troy.
We don't need anyone.
- Everything's perfect.
Just one thing, I sure
wish you could talk Marina.
[enchanting music]
? Marina ?
? Aqua Marina ?
? What are these strange
enchantments ?
? That start whenever
you're near ?
? Marina ?
? Aqua Marina ?
? Why can't you
whisper the words ?
? That my heart is
longing to hear ?
? Your magic to me ?
? A beautiful mystery ?
? I'm certain to fall, I know ?
? Because you enthrall me so ?
? Marina ?
? Aqua Marina ?
? Why don't you say that
you'll always stay ?
? Close to my heart ?
Still, guess that's one
thing that'll never happen.
- You're wrong Troy.
You see, I can speak in a way.
- Marina, was that you?
But your lips weren't moving.
- No Troy, but you can
hear my thoughts.
- Gee, this is great.
Now I have got all I want.
[loud explosion]
What's that?
- We're under attack.
- Don't just stand there,
do something.
- What do you suggest
oh great one?
We have no defenses.
- They'll get in!
What are we gonna do?
- You tell me.
You're the one who
has everything.
- Yeah, but they're trying
to take it all away from me.
[loud crashing]
[loud explosions]
My palace!
All my riches!
[water rushing in]
[loud explosions]
- Phones, Marina, Atlanta,
we're doomed!
[loud explosions]
- Put this on oh great one.
It'll save you Troy.
Don't fight me.
Take it easy Troy.
Relax.
You're okay now Troy.
Just rest.
Relax now, just take it easy.
- Phones, where am I?
The palace, it's crashing down!
But this is Stingray.
How did I get here?
What happened?
- You had a touch of
raptures of the deep Troy.
- What?
What you're talking about.
- Well it's true Troy.
I guess that fall
into the crevice
and then your air
tank giving out
sent you into a kind
of drunkenness.
- I've heard of it.
Raptures of the deep, eh?
Well, what do you know?
But it was So clear.
You could speak Marina,
or at least I could hear
your thoughts.
- I'm afraid not Troy.
That's the way lack of air
affects your down there.
- So there was no palace, eh?
No forest, no gems.
- I guess not.
- Say wait, I put some
gems in my belt.
Yeah I remember now.
Two of the biggest
diamonds I've ever seen.
Say, there is something here!
See, what did I tell you?
They're not diamonds.
They're just plain
ordinary seashells.
- That's right but,
I guess you could call
them the gems of the sea.
How about your palace,
are you disappointed
that it never existed?
- Oh no sir, I was real
mean down there.
Give me Stingray every time.
- That's great.
Now you go get some rest.
I'll take those two crazy
Hepcats in tow
and we'll head for Marinevlle.
- Yup, let's go.
I guess I've got some explaining
to do to Commander Shore.
