The stories

“The Secret of the Coral Creature! [Part One”

The Sea Devils are helping with an undersea atomic bomb test, guiding the device to a crater on the ocean floor, but it gets away from them and traps them underneath.

“The Secret of the Coral Creature! Part Two”

The falling atom bomb blocks the crater where the Sea Devils landed, and they find themselves plummeting into a strange underground world where they land in another sea below. There they encounter a criminal from another galaxy who was exiled to Earth and has become encrusted with coral.

“The Secret of the Coral Creature! Part Three”

The criminal Hroodo captures the Sea Devils and forces them to perform various tasks, but they are constantly aware of the imminent atomic explosion.
