[Philip Hayward]

Dark fantasy.

[Bull]

I am this thing from the sea.

[News Reporter]

Sorry, Mr. Hedges, this is all we can dig up on that story about the missing Hollywood people. Well, we can't wait it longer.

[Ned]

We got to go to press. Let's see what you got.

[News Reporter]

Story from the film capital. More than A week ago, November 20, to be exact, Philip Hayward, young cinema star of Yesterday's Bread and a popular actress, Judith Johnson, set sail for New Zealand aboard Hayward's private yacht. As chaperone, Ms. Johnson's movie director father accompanied the pair. And it's reported that Johnson Sr. Is taking advantage of the sea voyage to complete his original cinema yarn, a story of the strange creatures who live beneath the surface of the sea. That was more than a week ago. Word's been received from New Zealand that the Hayward yacht's more than two days overdue. A careful check gives evidence that there have been no disturbances on the Pacific throughout the time the party's been aboard. Special searching parties fail to discover the whereabouts of the boat. Question in Hollywood tonight. The question everywhere is what's happened to the trio aboard the Dolphin?

[Bull]

Where are they?

[News Reporter]

Have they become victims of the fantastic creatures created in the imagination of the author director aboard the yacht? That is this week's unsolved mystery.

[Johnston]

Will it ever be?

[News Reporter]

Oh, that's all right, boy. Get this down to makeup.

[Philip Hayward]

Let's get rolling.

[Ned]

Right away.

[Philip Hayward]

Come on in here. Which? Stop that food noise, will you?

[Johnston]

Oh, take it easy, Johnston. No reason to start shouting at each other, you know.

[Philip Hayward]

Now look here, we've been become for two days and a night now. We haven't moved a knot one way or the other.

[Johnston]

I assure you there's nothing wrong with the motors. I've been over them myself. For some fantastic reason, they just refuse to start again.

[Philip Hayward]

Why? Why won't they start? I don't know.

[Johnston]

Why did they stop in the first place?

[Philip Hayward]

Oh, it's weird. It's like some strange spirit has descended upon the boat.

[Johnston]

Oh, nonsense.

[Philip Hayward]

Is it nonsense? There are many terrifying legends about sea spirits. Fantastic adventures that have happened to sailors at sea?

[Johnston]

Just a lot of myths.

[Philip Hayward]

Who knows what strange creatures lurk beneath the sea's surface? Who can tell what might come up out of the depths at any moment?

[Johnston]

Oh, stop it. You're talking like a superstitious old fool. You made too many goofy movies. Just because you won an Academy Award is no sign I'm gonna swallow the tribe you dish out in those eight real clanbakes of yours.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

No, Judy, you can't.

[Ned]

Hey, what's the matter with me?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

You cannot. No, I won't let you.

[Philip Hayward]

Donna. Hey, wake up.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

No, you can't do it. No. No, I say. No.

[Philip Hayward]

Judy.

[Johnston]

Judy, darling. What in the name of heaven?

[Philip Hayward]

Judy, are you all right?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Oh, I was asleep, dreaming. Oh, it was horrible.

[Johnston]

I'd say it was a nightmare.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

I dreamed I was talking to a young girl. Yet she didn't seem like a girl at all. She looked more like a mermaid.

[Philip Hayward]

A what?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

She was like a nymph from the sea, I thought. She stood looking at me. She told me she'd been dead for centuries and yet not really dead. I couldn't understand what she meant. She said something about her body being dead but her mind being free to.

[Lana]

Wander about the world.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Dad, it was ghastly. She kept trying to convince me that I should let her mind enter my body.

[Johnston]

What did she say she wanted to do?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

She said the entire civilization of the earth depended upon the task she had to perform. Oh, Phil, she. She seemed to be actually trying to force me out of my body so she could enter it.

[Philip Hayward]

Judy, what did this creature look like?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Oh, she was awful looking, dad. She had long hair, green and slimy like seaweed. Her teeth were brilliant red. They were long and pointed. She kept staring at me with her little beady eyes. They were horrible, for there were no eyelids. She never blinked once. She just stared and stared.

[Philip Hayward]

Yes, what else? Judy?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

It was horrible. When she touched me, she had long, narrow fingers with no nails on them and they were covered with fish like scales.

[Philip Hayward]

It's positively the most amazing thing I've ever heard of. Mr. Hayward.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Mr. Hayward.

[Johnston]

Well? Yes, Ned, what is it?

[Philip Hayward]

I say, look at the lady. What's wrong, boy? You're pale as a ghost.

[Ned]

Mr. Hayward, the dolphin, she is moving.

[Johnston]

The boat's moving.

[Philip Hayward]

Good.

[Johnston]

The men got the motor started?

[Ned]

No, sir, that's just it. The motors aren't running and there's no wind. The boat's making about 20 knots an hour.

[Philip Hayward]

This boat couldn't possibly move without motor fresh.

[Ned]

Not all. There's a man at the helm. Steering the boat. And he's a man none of us have ever seen before.

[Johnston]

Nat, are you sure?

[Ned]

Sure as I'm standing here, sir. And he's the strangest thing I've ever seen.

[Johnston]

Well, let's go have a look at him.

[Philip Hayward]

Hey, come on. Judith, you'd better stay here.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Oh, no, no. I'm not going to stay here by myself.

[Johnston]

All right, come along, all of you.

[Ned]

Follow me.

[Philip Hayward]

It's him.

[Ned]

Standing up there at the helm, singing.

[Philip Hayward]

Some sort of an ancient siege.

[Ned]

Hunting easy now.

[Johnston]

Maybe trouble.

[Philip Hayward]

No.

[Ned]

There he is, sir. You see, Mr. Hayward?

[Philip Hayward]

Oh, yeah. I say, Heyward, that's no man. Some sort of a sea monster.

[Ned]

Look at his hands, Mr. Hayward, lads.

[Philip Hayward]

Right. Long, narrow fingers with webs between them and no fingernails.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Ted, Bill, they're like the hands of the girl in the dream. Where's he taking us?

[Philip Hayward]

Yes, I wonder. Behind the sun. Look at a huge wall of water rising out of the sea.

[Johnston]

Get down those steps. Everybody.

[Lana]

Get down.

[Johnston]

Everybody down here.

[Lana]

Into the cabin.

[News Reporter]

Hurry.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Hurry.

[Johnston]

I say. Everybody all right?

[Philip Hayward]

Yeah.

[Ned]

Yes, I am.

[Philip Hayward]

Did Judy go down to the cabin?

[Johnston]

Yes, she made it. Just managed to close the door before the wave hit.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Are you all right?

[Philip Hayward]

Yes.

[Johnston]

Okay.

[Philip Hayward]

You.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Judy, what in the world caused that?

[Philip Hayward]

Yeah, what? No wind and a wave of water hundreds of feet high.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

It's a miracle we didn't capsize.

[Ned]

Look, sir, to the port side.

[Johnston]

Yes, Ned, it's land.

[Philip Hayward]

Land, by heaven, it can't be.

[Johnston]

Not in these waters. There's no land for 500 miles.

[Philip Hayward]

And what's that over yonder? Mirage?

[Ned]

No, sir, that's no mirage. It's land.

[Philip Hayward]

It certainly is. Long, low coast extending north and south as far as you can see.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

A low, steaming land.

[Johnston]

Look.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Look at the heavy vapors rising from it.

[Philip Hayward]

You're right, Judy. It is steaming. That must explain the sultryness has been around us these past two days.

[Johnston]

Why, I've been in these waters a dozen times. This has never been here before. It's an entire continent where there ought not to be anything but empty sea.

[Philip Hayward]

Land from the sea. That explains the wave that swept over us. A wave that high could only have been caused by an undersea disturbance.

[Johnston]

Oh, nonsense, Justin. You're trying to say an underwater convulsion forced this vast expanse of land up to the surface?

[Philip Hayward]

Precisely. A land called Eben.

[Johnston]

I'll have to have a better explanation than that. Things like entire continents rising up out of the ocean just don't happen.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Well, then if that's not correct, what is the explanation?

[Philip Hayward]

There is no other. A Lion called Iban did exist at one time, nearly 10,000 years ago, ruled by a man named Bul and a woman named Lana. They both possessed wonderful powers and knowledge. Bull, the emperor, destroyed the continent of Iban.

[Ned]

How?

[Philip Hayward]

By releasing vast unknown forces beneath the continent. Forces that only he and Lana knew how to control.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

But why did he destroy it?

[Philip Hayward]

I, I I don't seem to recall. I read the legend once doing research for one of my pictures. It seems that for some reason or other, Bull and the girl were to release their spirits from their bodies. And those spirits would have the power someday of recalling the sunken land from the sea.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Then if such a story is true, that must be the land of Evan we're approaching.

[Philip Hayward]

Not at all impossible. And if it is true, couldn't that monstrous chanting thing at the helm be Bull himself taking us with him back to his long lost kingdom?

[Johnston]

You don't actually believe that, do you, Johnston?

[Philip Hayward]

Why not?

[Johnston]

Well, I certainly don't, Phil.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

What else can we believe?

[Philip Hayward]

That wave couldn't have swept us off our course enough to put us in sight of this land. Besides, look at it. Steaming in that sultry, foul odor. Land covered with seaweed.

[Ned]

There's no one at the helm, sir. That monster's disappeared.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

But look. There's someone lying on the deck beneath the wheel.

[Ned]

It's a man.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Yes.

[Philip Hayward]

Maybe that thing's met with a bit of hard luck.

[Ned]

Careful.

[Philip Hayward]

Careful, Hayward.

[Johnston]

Right.

[Ned]

He's breathing.

[Johnston]

Only slightly. I see.

[Philip Hayward]

Who is he?

[Johnston]

Not a member of the crew.

[Philip Hayward]

How'd he get on board? Why is he lying here on deck?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

What happened to him?

[Johnston]

Oh, he's conscious. He's trying to tell us something.

[Philip Hayward]

Look here. Who are you?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

I.

[Philip Hayward]

Stowaway, hid it in supply room, went to sleep. I don't remember anything. Stowaway says hid in the supply room and went to sleep. Wait a minute.

[Ned]

He's dead. Hey.

[Philip Hayward]

But I'm going to have a look over here. Oh, Judy. Judy.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Oh, dear, I feel so strange.

[Philip Hayward]

Oh, dear, you look ill.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Very strange.

[Johnston]

You'd better go below to the cabin, dear.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Yes, I better. I'll lie down for a while.

[Philip Hayward]

Shall I go with you, dear?

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

No, no. I'll be all right if I rest a little while.

[Philip Hayward]

All right, dear.

[Johnston]

Be careful going to your cabin. Oh, Ned, get a tarpaulin and cover the body.

[Ned]

Right away, sir.

[Philip Hayward]

Hey, come over here a minute, will you?

[Johnston]

Yes, Johnson, what is it?

[Philip Hayward]

Here, have a look. See? Someone's climbed down that rope ladder, gone ashore through the mud and slime.

[Johnston]

Whoever it was, he didn't sink in.

[Philip Hayward]

Very Deep seaweed's too thick. Kept him from sinking. I wonder who it was.

[Johnston]

I'm in favor of finding out.

[Ned]

Oh, Ned.

[Philip Hayward]

Yes, sir.

[Johnston]

We're going ashore. Watch out for Miss Blake, will you?

[Philip Hayward]

Right, sir.

[Johnston]

And not a word of this to the rest of the crew, understand?

[Ned]

Yes, sir.

[Johnston]

All right, Johnston. Down you go.

[Philip Hayward]

Down.

[Johnston]

Follow those footprints and see where they lead us.

[Philip Hayward]

This is the most evil smelling place I was ever in. Hold on. Look.

[Johnston]

Yeah, I see what you mean. A city up ahead there.

[Philip Hayward]

A city from the depths of the sea.

[Johnston]

I say, Johnston, isn't that Captain Webb going into that low domed building over there?

[Philip Hayward]

Eh? Oh, yes. Yes, it is. So that's our man. Ahoy, captain.

[Lana]

Captain Webb.

[Johnston]

Wait a minute, Captain. Hold up a bit.

[Philip Hayward]

Heyward. He's turned around. That snarl on his face. He's got a gun in his hand. Hayward. It isn't Webb. It's that thing.

[Johnston]

What in the name of heaven?

[Bull]

Stand back, the two of you. Stand back.

[Philip Hayward]

What?

[Johnston]

You are not Captain Webb.

[Bull]

I am Bull, emperor of Eban. And I've returned to claim again my ancient kingdom. If you come one step nearer, I shall be compelled to slay you.

[Lana]

You dare not. Boo.

[Philip Hayward]

Lana. Judy.

[Lana]

You seem surprised. Boo. Did you think I would forget?

[Bull]

Lana.

[Johnston]

Judy, darling, what does this mean? Why do you speak so strangely? Why does this thing call you Lana?

[Lana]

I am Lana, Philip Heywood. I have borrowed for a while the body of your beloved Judy.

[Ned]

What?

[Lana]

My mind, my spirit has entered her body. You see me as Judith Johnston. But now. Now I am Lana, empress of the kingdom of Eban.

[Bull]

I have returned to rule Eben.

[Lana]

And I have returned to prevent you.

[Bull]

King cannot prevent it. Lana.

[Johnston]

Look here. This quarrel is none of my affair. I demand that you release whatever power you have over my fiance.

[Lana]

I have borrowed her body only for a little while, Philip Hayward. Just as Boole has borrowed the body of the captain of your craft.

[Bull]

The body I first borrowed was a weak one, a sick stowaway. The captain's is a sturdy body. Now it is mine.

[Lana]

But you must return it to him, Boolean. It is the law. You must return his body unharmed, just as I must return the body of Judith Johnston.

[Bull]

It shall be so. I am about to enter the temple now regain my ebonite body.

[Lana]

You cannot open the burial chamber unless I accompany you.

[Bull]

I realize that full well. I enter the temple now. I shall await you, Lana, beside the sepulcher.

[Philip Hayward]

Look here, Lana.

[Johnston]

Oh, whoever you are, this is some horrible nightmare.

[Lana]

Philip Heyward, we must act quickly. I will try to explain when Boole destroyed Eben. 10,000 years ago, we sealed our Ebonite bodies in a vacuum chamber inside this tent. And our spirits left our bodies to roam the universe until Eban should be restored. Now Vhul intends to re enter his body and build a new Eben. Once he does reclaim his ancient body, all is lost. For no one save me, can destroy him. And if I slay him, I too must die.

[Johnston]

But what can you do?

[Lana]

I have a plan. Come with me into the temple where Bull awaits. There is Boole standing beside our ancient bodies just as we left them so long ago.

[Bull]

All is ready, Lana. We will break the vacuum. Permit our spirits to enter our sleeping bodies. Are you prepared?

[Lana]

I am prepared, Bool.

[Bull]

Then we begin.

[Philip Hayward]

Her. Look, those bodies in the glass vacuum, they're beginning to move. Yes. Slowly, slowly.

[Johnston]

Forget them.

[Lana]

No, no, no, don't.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Please don't.

[Philip Hayward]

Judy.

[Johnston]

Judy, darling.

[Philip Hayward]

Oh, no.

[Lana]

Help me.

[Philip Hayward]

Judy.

[Lana]

Sit here again.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Where am I?

[Philip Hayward]

Judy.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

How did I get here?

[Johnston]

Judy. Thank heaven she's left you. You're yourself again.

[Philip Hayward]

Look. They will ask the vacuum. She up there.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

There she is. She's the one in my dream.

[Lana]

You are free. All of you.

[Philip Hayward]

Not so.

[Bull]

The three of you will remain here forever to help rebuild the populace of Eban.

[Lana]

You cannot.

[Johnston]

Fool.

[Bull]

Bold is all great, all powerful. Fool is the law no one can defy.

[Lana]

No one who will save me.

[Bull]

You lack the courage, Lana.

[Lana]

Not now. I have the courage now. You were cruel and wicked, Bull. Your rule of ancient Eban ended in horrible tragedy. It must not happen again.

[Bull]

Put down the weapon, Lana. You dare not slay me. You'll die yourself.

[Lana]

Then I call upon death to claim me.

[Bull]

You dare not, Lana. You dare not slay the son of the ancient one.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Yes.

[Lana]

Fool. Yes. It has been written by the hand of destiny.

[Ned]

Lana.

[Bull]

Think.

[Philip Hayward]

Think before you slay me beyond the realm of Thothpool.

[Lana]

No. I destroy you.

[Johnston]

Murder.

[Philip Hayward]

She did it. She did it.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

That is the end.

[Lana]

All is finished Now. Now you must go.

[Johnston]

Can you come with us, Lana?

[Lana]

No. But soon I perish also. You must hurry now. Leave, Ivan. Quickly. Go while yet you have time. Hasten before it is too late.

[Philip Hayward]

Well, Judy darling, we're underway.

[Johnston]

Full speed ahead.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

No trouble starting the motors, dear?

[Philip Hayward]

None at all.

[Johnston]

The father and Ned are down to the crew. The men don't even suspect what has happened to us.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Well, just as well. They'd never believe it.

[Johnston]

Well, take a last look, Judy. You'll soon be out of sight of the land.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

Yes. Oh, I'm so glad it's all over, Phil. Poor Lana. She gave her life to save ours, Phil.

[Philip Hayward]

Yes, darling, she did.

[Judith Johnston / Lana]

What's that?

[Philip Hayward]

Look.

[Johnston]

Flames from the mainland. Like a volcano.

[Lana]

Phil. The land sinking.

[Johnston]

It's Lana.

[Philip Hayward]

Judy.

[Johnston]

She's released the forces.

[Philip Hayward]

She's destroyed ancient he man.

[Ned]

Once again.

[Philip Hayward]
