Synopsis:
During a deep sea dive, the male Sea Devils are ensorceled by the spell of a siren. Each is forced to retrieve a gift for her, putting themselves at great risk. Judy tries to snap them out of the trance, but she fails. When Dane returns with his treasure for the siren, he loses his tanks. Judy sacrifices her own air tanks to save Dane, then heads for the surface. Seeing their teammate make her sacrifice, the Sea Devils break the siren’s spell. They all return to the surface after battling the siren’s serpent guardian, but only Judy retains any memory of the encounter.
