Synopsis:
Returning from their adventure with Dragorr, Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, and
Lady Dorma encounter a domed underwater city. Resentful of the surface-dwellers
who would encroach on his territory, Namor approaches some construction
workers, demanding to speak to their master. One points a harpoon gun at Namor,
who clobbers them all then plans to return to Atlantis and gather his army. The
city’s builder, Dr. Walter Newell, arrives in an underwater saucer and asks to
speak with Namor; Dorma begs him to agree. Namor enters the saucer through its
Ultra-Polystyrone wall which permits people to pass through it and reseal
itself. Newell explains to Namor that the city is to collect food and minerals
for the surface world and proposes a trading partnership. Namor orders them to
be gone in no uncertain terms…
…then the
submarine of the Plunderer attacks the city, demanding their surrender. Newell
challenges them, hoping to buy time for his people to defend themselves. The
Plunderer fires a force ray at the saucer which ricochets and cracks the city’s
dome, admitting water. Dorma begs Namor to help evacuate the city but he
remains aloof. When Plunderer begins attacking the refugees’ craft, he relents
and assaults the villain’s ship. Plunderer throws a switch that admits Namor
and a fight ensues. Plunderer points out on a viewscreen that Dorma is in
danger, distracting Namor so that the baddie can blast him with his Vibra-Gun.
Walt Newell spots Dorma in trouble and goes to her rescue. Plunderer ejects
Namor from his ship. As the sub starts seizing loot from the city, Namor
forcibly takes Dorma from Newell. A ship contacted by Dr. Newell arrives to
rescue the refugees while Namor vows vengeance against the Plunderer….
