ynopsis

When a World Navy submarine is mysteriously destroyed, Troy Tempest and "Phones" are assigned to investigate, and discover there is more the World's oceans than can ever be imagined.

Plot

A World Navy submarine is mysteriously destroyed at sea by what appears to be a mechanical green fish manned by two amphibian creatures. As occasions like this seem to becoming a regular occurrence, Sam Shore, Commander of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP) is ordered to investigate.

Captain Troy Tempest and Lieutenant George Lee Sheridan (a.k.a. "Phones") set sail in Stingray to investigate the destruction. Another green mechanical fish attacks them and they both pass out.

When Troy wakes up he is in a room under the sea and encounters its ruler, Titan, the tyrannical ruler of Titanica. Titan tells Troy that he is the first "terranean" to see someone from his race. He is then trialled to see if he is a friend or foe of the people of Titanica.

According to Titan, The fish god Teufel only gazes upon friends of Titanica, and Troy is given one marine minute for Teufel to make up his mind about Troy. However, right at the end of the trial, Teufel spins round. Titan sentences Troy and Phones to death at Aquatraz an under sea prison.

Meanwhile, back at Marineville, Commander Shore organises an aerial search for Stingray, and when the search results are negative he plans a hydromic attack to destroy what ever has taken Stingray.

Troy and Phones are taken to Aquatraz in a mechanical fish, but Marina, daughter of Aphony (ruler of the peaceful underwater city of Pacifica), helps them escape, and they return to Marineville, towing Stingray, just before the hyrdromic missile attack.
