Sharkmen

Professor Wallace Thornton, scientist behind the Nautilus atomic sub, is throwing an engagement party onboard his boat, the Seasprite, for his daughter Carole and Leslie Adams. The Sharkmen come on deck and kidnap Thornton, putting him in a steel capsule and dragging it underwater. Captain Flash theorizes that Thornton is still alive. He and Ricky disguise another sub as the Nautilus and submerge. The Sharkmen attack. Flash and Ricky put on scuba gear to engage them. Flash is able to defeat a tiger shark and a killer whale launched at him, but in the struggle Ricky is captured. Flash follows the Sharkmen to their base, a bubble made of plastic. He rescues Ricky and the Professor and captures all the Sharkmen, except for their leader, discovering the Sharkmen are just a gang in special scuba suits. Upon their return, Flash identifies Adams as the leader. Since Adams double-crossed the gang, they back this up. Adams wanted to marry Carole to get close to her Father and sell the Nautilus plans to the highest bidder.
