Dr. Pierre Aronnax and his servant, Conseil, travel from Paris to find out more as ship after ship goes down in the Atlantic. What - or who - is causing these ships to be attacked? When Aronnax, Conseil, and the Canadian, Ned Land, meet the odd Captain Nemo, they discover the solution to this question. The doctor and his companions prepare to return to the surface after a long journey beneath the sea in Nemo's submarine, the Nautilus. But how are they going to get away?
