While swimming off the coast of the Greek island Hydra, sponge diver Loren discovers a sunken ship in the deep, an ancient Greek galley which boasts treasure, including an exquisite statue of a boy on a dolphin. So awe-inspiring is this underwater marvel, Loren almost fails to surface. When she does, she blurts her find to her boy friend, jorge Mistral, a sleazy sort who immediately begins scheming to sell the artifacts. They naively approach Ladd, an American archeologist working for the Greek museums, and he becomes excited. (official distributor synopsis)
