Prince Dakkar, son of an Indian rajah, has issues with authority.
Expelled from the world's finest schools, he is sent to an
unconventional educator, Count Oginski. Dakkar plans his escape
immediately. But something about the Count intrigues him, including
a top-secret project which he shares with Dakkar - a submarine. But
others are interested in the Count's invention and what it might
achieve and, when masked men kidnap the Count, leaving Dakkar for
dead, he doesn't know who was responsible. It could have been
British Intelligence, or perhaps a sinister figure known only as
Cryptos. Either way, Dakkar is determined to rescue the Count.
Taking the prototype submarine, he sets off for adventure. Cue
shark attack, giant sea creatures, spies and an evil megalomaniac.
From his undersea refuge, Dakkar plans to take them all on . . .
with a bit of help from a Girl.
