On a houseboat, American tycoon John Dexter explores the deep of the Caribbean's ocean and catches a prehistoric fish-lizard. Latin dictator Mercurio wants to keep this breakthrough to gain international credits. The monster escapes and its fellow species ravage the island of San Blas by breaking the dam which leads to the death of the military tyran and frees the mind of the cold money-maker.

Opening Narration: In man's dark and troubled history, there are vestiges of strange gods. This stone statue was once such a god, a thousand years gone by, in the central mountains of Pan America. Today, new gods have emerged-the god of power, the god of money. The Republic of San Blas lies west of the Orinoco Basin and slightly north of the Equator. Its principal exports are coffee, copra, mahogany, mace, and saffron. In a hundred-odd years the reins of government have changed many times in blood and fire and death. The last of the revolutions was led by General Juan Mercurio, the most absolute and powerful ruler of them all. Only the Indians who live close to the old gods in the volcanic uplands are unimpressed. They have seen the coming of Conquistadors, with the power of their guns and flashing flags; the revolutionaries, with their zeal and willingness to die; the Americans, with the power of their money and bulldozers, with their summer houseboats in the crater lake of Aripana, with their gadgets, and machines, and devices...
| Additional Narration: Moving through the deep, protected only by a tank of air and a hunting spear, the scientist-explorer descends beyond the San Blas shelf. But all unknown to him, the observer is himself observed. Hidden in the sinuous rills of seaweed, sightless eyes, blind for centuries, stare out of the abyss. The legendary creature of the deeps, sensing through nerve receptors in its skin, becomes aware of the alien invader, man.
| Second Additional Narration: Pressed and strained by constant drilling of ultrasonic beams, the concrete face of the dam cracks and faults. Ten million tons of pressure builds toward ultimate collapse...
| Closing Narration: The forces of nature will not submit to injustice. No man has the right, nor will the checks and balances of the universe permit him, to place his fellows under the harsh yoke of repression. Nor may he again place the forces of nature under the triple yoke of vanity, greed, and ambition. In the words of Shelley: Were lies your tyrant, who would rule the world, immortal.
| Lynn Arthur: John Dexter only keeps the cream of the crop.
