The Atlanteans worship a goddess named [[Amdo]] and use [[fish person|fish people]] — men and women operated upon so that they can breathe under the sea — to farm the plankton-based food on which they survive. A deranged scientist, Professor [[Zaroff]], has convinced them that he can raise their city from the sea, but actually he plans to drain the ocean into the Earth's molten core, so that the resultant superheated steam will cause the planet to explode. | The Atlanteans worship a goddess named [[Amdo]] and use [[fish person|fish people]] — men and women operated upon so that they can breathe under the sea — to farm the [[plankton]]-based food on which they survive.

The travellers meet up with two shipwreck survivors, [[Sean (The Underwater Menace)|Sean]] and [[Jacko]], who persuade the fish people to rebel and stop work. The Doctor eventually foils Zaroff's plan, but only by breaking down the sea walls and flooding the city. Zaroff drowns, but everyone else escapes. | The travellers meet up with two shipwreck survivors, [[Sean (The Underwater Menace)|Sean]] and [[Jacko]], who persuade the fish people to rebel and stop work.
