Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea : Season 1 Disc 3 (1964)
Colorized Version
Incl. episodes 9 - 12
Voyage chronicled the adventures of the world's first privately owned nuclear submarine, the SSRN Seaview. Designed by Admiral Harriman Nelson, she was a tool of oceanographic research for the Nelson Institute of Marine Research. Though the show is known for its "monster" episodes, many plots were veiled commentaries of what was happening in the news. Such plotlines as nuclear doomsday, pollution of natural resources, foreign threat, and theft of American technology are all still relevant today.
9. Hot Line
The Soviets have launched a rocket carrying a new satellite to be placed in orbit around the Earth. Everything is proceeding normally when they lose control of the rocket and their power to abort it. The rocket with its nuclear pile will fall back to Earth and splashdown near the San Franciscan coast. The Seaview is ordered to pick up two Russian missile experts and find the rocket and disarm the nuclear pile before detonation.
10. Submarine Sunk Here
Chip Morton and Curley Jones are in New London making repairs on the diving bell's guidance system. At the same time a skirmish in the control room of the Seaview inadvertently allows it to move into a derelict mine field. The sub becomes entangled and attempts to free itself, but an explosion disables the sub and sends it to the bottom. With the crew running out of air the diving bell is their only hope.
11. The Magnus Beam
Seaview is called on to investigate the mysterious crashes of several U-2 spy planes. They discover the cause is a magnetic beam of immense power. Then they discover that the beam is powerful enough to seize all the metal objects aboard Seaview herself, and begin dragging her relentlessly to her destruction. The only chance is to briefly neutralize the magnetic force and send a small party out to sabotage the ray at the source. The extremely well-guarded source...
12. No Way Out
A very important Soviet official is defecting to the USA with his daughter. They are scheduled to be picked up in Indonesia by the Seaview. On the last leg of their escape, the official is wounded and the daughter is captured. With the official recovering in the sick bay, the Seaview now must either leave the daughter behind or make a rescue attempt. Time is running out, and dangerous agents are snooping around everywhere.
