Synopsis:
Two fishermen are abducted and taken to a city under the city. Nargo, the city's ruler, is a mental marvel with telepathic powers, but he is dying. He forces one of the fishermen to return to the surface to bring back Doctor Noonan, a physician that can save his life. The other fisherman is held captive to ensure that his friend returns.

The fisherman finds Doctor Noonan and Zatara. The trio return to the underwater city, but Zatara soon finds that his magic is useless against Nargo. Zatara is imprisoned, and Noonan forced to perform surgery.

However, while Nargo is under anaesthetic, his mind can no longer neutralize Zatara. The magician escapes and rescues the captive surface men. Nargo regains consciousness and engages Zatara in a mental battle of wills. The battle causes the underwater city to collapse. Nargo is buried in the rubble, but Zatara escapes and makes it back to the surface.
