June 10, 2994. Marine explorer Dan Vickerson completes his week-long deep sea mission in his strange, tracked exploration vehicle. As he prepares to surface, his vehicle is attacked by a large and powerful sea serpent. Dan uses his "electo bolt" to get the creature to release the ship. He calls the surface contact, but gets no reply. Dan and Betty take the opportunity to escape. Shep Rankin and the Syndicate open the door, only to be killed when an explosive booby-trap goes off.
