Synopsis:
John Jones is weakened fighting a gasoline fire. Before he is fully recovered, John takes an assignment to recover stolen evidence from the bottom of the harbor. Criminal divers using acetylene torches try to destroy the evidence, and the fire from the torches further weakens Jones. He tries to put out the torches with a whirlpool and nearly dies trying. With his last bit of energy, John succeeds and the evidence is successfully recovered.
