Zaroff was well-known for producing cheap food from the [[sea]]. He went missing and was reported as dead, but in reality, he had found the submerged city of [[Atlantis]] and was living there. | |||
When the [[Second Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s [[Ben Jackson]], [[Polly Wright]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon]] were about to be [[sacrifice]]d to the Atlantean goddess [[Amdo]], the Doctor sent a note to Zaroff. [[Damon (The Underwater Menace)|Damon]] gave Zaroff the note and he became intrigued and put a halt to the sacrifice. He put Ben and Jamie to work in the [[mine]]s, sent Polly to be fitted with plastic gills so she could farm under water and took the Doctor to his laboratory. When the Doctor sabotaged the power system to rescue Polly from an operation, Zaroff became suspicious of him and wanted to keep him close. | When the [[Second Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s [[Ben Jackson]], [[Polly Wright]] and [[Jamie McCrimmon]] were about to be [[sacrifice]]d to the Atlantean goddess [[Amdo]], the Doctor sent a note to Zaroff.
