Plot Summary
One day as Mandrake sleeps he dreams a strange dream, a nightmare about a unknown deep-sea creature. Next day Theron made a call about a strange dream, then Jed called about an underwater deep-sea mystery. It almost seemed as if someone deep in the ocean did try to send a message to the surface. Capt. Lark and Mandrake entered a batosphere and dived into the deep to see if they could solve the mystery.
