The daughter of a wealthy financier disappears in the Bermuda Triangle and oceanographer Peters is hired to find her and her new husband. But strange things are afoot and Peters and his team soon come face to face with a group of aliens living in underwater caves beneath the Bermuda Triangle who are responsible for the many disappearances in the area.

More worthless junk from the iredeemably bad Tonini Ricci. The plot takes forever to get going and is padded with irrelevant asides and detours, the acting is unspeakably bad, and the special effects look like they've been shot by schoolboys making their first 8mm amateur movie. "It was a terrible sensation!" someone notes. And they weren't kidding. Horrible, horrible, horrible...
