00:00It is a clear, sunny morning in September
00:08as Oscar Goldman and Steve Austin
00:09drive out of Washington toward the airport.
00:11Is the press latched on to the story yet, Oscar?
00:14I don't know. Let's see what's on the air.
00:16And that's the latest on the situation in Europe.
00:18Now for the weather.
00:19Sunny and clear from Florida to Hatteras today and tomorrow.
00:22Winds gentle from the...
00:23Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been handed this bulletin.
00:26A converted Coast Guard cutter, the Coral Isle,
00:28engaged in marine research in the South Atlantic,
00:30was reported lost today in the Bermuda Triangle,
00:33notorious as the graveyard of ships and planes.
00:35Nothing is known of the circumstances under which the vessel sank.
00:38There was one survivor, but his condition is so grave
00:40that little hope is held out for his recovery.
00:42And now, back to the weather and sports.
00:45Well, they've got the story all right.
00:47What there is of it.
00:49Yeah, and I suppose we're going to get the usual load of devil theories
00:52and speculation about UFOs that always come up
00:54when anyone mentions the Bermuda Triangle.
00:56You've got to admit there's something mysterious about this one.
00:59Satellite weather pictures showed no clouds over that area
01:01in the past couple of days.
01:03The weather was perfect,
01:04so we know that the Coral Isle wasn't lost in the storm.
01:06Well, I'm hoping you'll come up with some answers
01:08when you get out in Norfolk and interview the one survivor.
01:10Has he said anything yet?
01:11Not really.
01:12He was picked up in a state of shock
01:13200 miles off the coast by a Coast Guard cutter.
01:16He was babbling incoherently all the way back in the helicopter
01:19that took him off the cutter.
01:20Something about a sea monster.
01:21Sea monster?
01:23Funny how that story never seems to die.
01:24Yeah, there was a report just a few days ago
01:26by a couple of kids who claim they saw one off the Florida coast.
01:29I can discount that one,
01:30but this man we picked up is a marine biologist,
01:32Dr. Nils Holgren.
01:34Holgren?
01:34I know him.
01:35He's a friend of mine.
01:36I know that, and that's why I'm sending you down there.
01:38Maybe you can get through to him
01:39and get a line on this underwater UFO.
01:42Later, in a room at the hospital in Norfolk.
01:47How's he doing, Doctor?
01:48Still in a deep comatose state, Colonel.
01:50Comes out of it periodically,
01:51but obviously hallucinating.
01:53Okay if I stay with him?
01:54Of course.
01:55I'll check in again in a little while.
02:03Nils, it's me, Steve.
02:05Can you hear me?
02:08It's close.
02:10Come in closer.
02:12Closer.
02:13Closer.
02:14Oh.
02:15Steve?
02:17Steve Austin?
02:18Yeah, Nils.
02:18It's me.
02:19Take it easy now.
02:20It's all right.
02:22Listen, Steve.
02:23It looked like a...
02:25Like a...
02:27But he gets no further.
02:29A man dressed in an orderly's uniform
02:30opens the door,
02:31fires two shots,
02:33turns and runs,
02:34slamming the door behind him.
02:35Steve chases after him,
02:37but the fake orderly escapes
02:38in the confusion of the busy corridor,
02:39and Steve returns to his friend's room.
02:41The doctor is at Nils' bedside.
02:43How is he, Doctor?
02:44Sorry, Colonel.
02:45He's dead.
02:49Later that day,
02:50in a huge cavern
02:50hidden in the depth
02:51of an isolated island
02:52in the center of the Bermuda Triangle,
02:54Colonel Gerhard von Krauss
02:56surveys the massive array
02:57of electronic equipment before him.
02:59Finally,
03:00I am ready.
03:01It is over 30 years
03:02since I went into hiding
03:03rather than surrender.
03:0530 years of working
03:06and planning
03:07and struggling.
03:08And now,
03:09at last...
03:10Who is it, Schmidt?
03:11It sponsors here, Colonel.
03:13He's back from the mainland.
03:15Send him up at once.
03:18Well, Sergeant?
03:20Got him, Colonel.
03:21He won't do any talking.
03:23And now,
03:24there are no survivors,
03:27no witnesses.
03:28Just like it's been
03:29with all the other ships
03:31and planes
03:32that intruded
03:33into our domain.
03:34Did anyone follow you?
03:36There was someone in the room,
03:38but I lost him easy.
03:39Good.
03:40Schmidt,
03:41check on missiles
03:41and have them in firing position.
03:44We begin Operation America
03:45in 24 hours.
03:50Back in Norfolk,
03:51we find Steve and Oscar
03:52in the commandant's office
03:53in the Navy Yard.
03:54I arranged for us
03:55to meet here
03:55with Captain Billings
03:56of Naval Intelligence, Steve,
03:57as soon as I got your call
03:58from the hospital.
03:59Took the first plane
04:00I could get.
04:01I was there
04:02when they brought
04:02Dr. Holgren in,
04:03Colonel Austin,
04:04and heard his delirious talk
04:05about the sea monster,
04:06and I don't doubt
04:08he saw something
04:08pretty frightening.
04:09I think he was trying
04:10to tell me
04:11what the thing
04:11that sank the Coral Isle
04:13looked like,
04:13but he never did
04:14get the chance.
04:15Well, all I can say
04:16is that this is
04:16the first sea monster
04:17I ever heard of
04:18that sent men ashore
04:19to do its killing.
04:20Captain Billings,
04:21I've been looking
04:22at this map of the area,
04:24figuring the drift
04:25that carried Nils
04:26to the spot
04:26where it was picked up.
04:28My guess is
04:28that the Coral Isle
04:29was hit by the monster,
04:31or whatever it was,
04:32somewhere near this island.
04:33That's ghost time.
04:36Nothing but a huge,
04:37uninhabited rock
04:38in the middle of nowhere.
04:39There's nothing there.
04:40It's so worthless
04:41no government
04:42has even bothered
04:43claiming sovereignty.
04:44Just the same,
04:45I'd like to go
04:45have a look-see.
04:46Do you have any kind
04:47of armed ship
04:48in the area
04:49that might look
04:49like another research vessel?
04:51We do have
04:52an older type cutter
04:53about three hours
04:54sailing time from it.
04:55Carry some pretty good guns.
04:57Can you arrange
04:57for a copter
04:58to set me down
04:58on that ship
04:59and authorize the captain
05:00to go into those waters?
05:01It's pretty dangerous
05:02for shipping in that area
05:03under the best of conditions,
05:05but it can be arranged.
05:06Who knows?
05:07Maybe the ship
05:08will look like
05:08a real nice meal
05:09to a hungry sea monster.
05:15Well, we're almost there,
05:16Kurt Lawston.
05:17Ghost Island
05:17is about five miles due east.
05:19Pretty rough out here.
05:20Does the wind
05:21always come up
05:21that suddenly, Captain?
05:22It's not unusual.
05:24It's one of the factors
05:24that make the area
05:25so treacherous for navigation.
05:28Bridge,
05:29Captain Bailey speaking.
05:30Olsen here, Captain.
05:31Got a sonar reading.
05:33Large object
05:33three miles ahead
05:34approaching at ten knots.
05:36Okay, Olsen.
05:38All hands, battle stations.
05:40All hands, battle stations.
05:41Stand by.
05:42Visibility is down
05:43to less than half a mile.
05:44It's going to be hard to...
05:45Wait a minute.
05:46Got something.
05:47Where?
05:47Fifteen degrees to stop it.
05:48Good Lord.
05:49It's a sea monster.
05:51Mills was right.
05:51On a collision course.
05:53Look at that thing.
05:54Must be 80 feet long
05:55and a huge gaping mouth
05:56breathing fire.
05:58It's big enough to...
05:59Well, I'll be.
06:02Captain,
06:03that so-called monster
06:04has got two torpedo tubes
06:05in its mouth
06:06and here come the torpedoes.
06:08Housman,
06:08hard to port.
06:09Engine room,
06:10full power.
06:11As the cutter
06:12takes evasive action,
06:13its guns fire
06:14and score direct hits
06:15on the attacker
06:15while the torpedoes
06:17speed harmlessly passed.
06:18Meanwhile,
06:19observing the battle
06:20on specially constructed
06:21TV screens
06:21inside his island fortress,
06:23Colonel Krauss is furious.
06:24That ship was a decoy
06:27and that means
06:28others will count.
06:29We are changing
06:30our time tip.
06:31Set missiles one,
06:32two,
06:32and three to fire
06:33in exactly 30 minutes.
06:34Targets,
06:35Washington,
06:35Chicago,
06:36and New York.
06:3730 years of hard work
06:39will not go to waste.
06:40I will have the satisfaction
06:41of destroying the cities
06:42as our cities
06:43were destroyed in 1945.
06:46As you wish,
06:47Colonel.
06:48Having lost communication
06:49with the U-40,
06:50we must assume
06:50it has been lost
06:51or damaged
06:52beyond repair.
06:52Prepare the U-22
06:54for immediate departure.
06:56All personnel
06:56are to board
06:57within 20 minutes.
06:58I will push
06:59the missile button myself
07:00and then we will sail
07:02for our base
07:03off the Argentine coast.
07:04Preparations proceed
07:05at a furious pace
07:06and are almost completed
07:07when suddenly
07:08the alarm goes off.
07:12Look,
07:12it's two of our men
07:13from the U-40.
07:16It was a trap,
07:17Colonel.
07:18A trap?
07:19Yes,
07:19you fools!
07:20And you may have
07:21let them here!
07:21At that moment,
07:23Steve and a party
07:24of men
07:24from the Cutter
07:25appear.
07:25You're so right,
07:26Colonel,
07:27and very considerate
07:28of them.
07:28Americans!
07:29Kill them!
07:30Kill them!
07:33But the element
07:33of surprise
07:34is on the sight
07:35of Steve
07:35and the men
07:35from the Cutter.
07:36The occupants
07:37of the fortress
07:37throw down
07:38their weapons
07:38and surrender.
07:39All but Colonel Krauss,
07:40who positions himself
07:41at the master console,
07:43activates the complex
07:44of missile controls
07:45and shouts
07:45over the speaker system.
07:46Don't move anyone
07:47or I push
07:49the self-destruct button.
07:50For God's sake,
07:51Colonel,
07:51we'll all be killed
07:52and for what?
07:52All is lost!
07:53You are a coward,
07:55Schmidt!
07:55I will show you
07:56how to die
07:56like a true
07:57German officer.
07:58But first,
07:59I will launch
07:59the missiles
08:00that will destroy
08:00New York,
08:01Chicago,
08:01and Washington.
08:02Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
08:04With the lives
08:05of all hanging
08:06in the balance,
08:06he moves his hands
08:07toward the
08:07death-dealing controls.
08:09But in the second
08:09he looked down,
08:10Steve Austin,
08:11summoning up
08:11every ounce of power
08:12in his bionic legs,
08:13leaps a full
08:14thirty feet
08:15across the room,
08:16knocking the
08:16half-crazed
08:17Colonel away
08:17from the controls
08:18and quickly
08:18aborts the missile
08:19launches.
08:20But the red light
08:21for the self-destruct
08:22remains on.
08:23Schmidt,
08:24quick!
08:24How do you
08:24turn this thing off?
08:25There is no way!
08:26It is a different circuit,
08:27a different explosive,
08:28and irreversible!
08:29It will go out
08:30in three minutes!
08:30You fools!
08:31You are trapped like us!
08:33Ha ha ha ha!
08:34That's the quickest
08:35way out of here,
08:35Schmidt.
08:36Come,
08:36follow me!
08:37They run down
08:38a corridor
08:38to a concealed
08:39subterranean landing
08:40and jump into
08:40a couple of
08:41high-powered steamboats.
08:42Starting up the motors,
08:43they roar out
08:44into the ocean,
08:45just as the first
08:46of a devastating
08:46series of explosions
08:47goes off,
08:48killing Krauss
08:49and Blotter.
08:55So I thought
08:55I'd come down
08:56and pick you up
08:57at the airport myself
08:57before the reporters
08:58got at you.
08:59I appreciate
09:00service, Oscar.
09:01I've been wondering,
09:02Steve,
09:02why did Krauss bother
09:03with that whole
09:04monster masquerade?
09:05I guess he figured
09:06that if any of his
09:06shipwrecked victims
09:07did get away,
09:08it'd be better
09:09to have the authorities
09:09looking for a mythical
09:11creature that could be
09:12living anywhere
09:12under the water
09:13rather than a plain,
09:14ordinary,
09:15everyday submarine
09:16which would have
09:17to have a base
09:17somewhere nearby.
09:19Shades of Jules Verne
09:20and Captain Nemo.
09:22Hey, Oscar,
09:23I'm hungry.
09:24Let's stop at that
09:24burger joint up ahead
09:25and have something to eat.
09:28Okay with me, pal.
09:29What do you have?
09:30How about a
09:31monster burger, pal?
09:32My food.
