- Captivated by a vision of beckoning women, a man dives into the ocean, and soon finds himself walking on the ocean floor. After encountering numerous sea creatures, he comes to a giant oyster. When the oyster is opened, a strange adventure begins for the diver.—Snow Leopard
- A fisherman is lying on a river bank, apparently despondent at his poor catches, and he falls asleep. Suddenly, on the opposite bank there appears a beautiful rainbow, in the center of which is enthroned the queen of the deep, with her maids in waiting. She calls to the slumberer and tells him of the wonderful pearl riches secreted at the bottom of the ocean. With this the vision vanishes, and the fisherman, charmed by the scene, dives into the water. He is seen going headforemost to the bottom, his body descending through all manner of subterranean caverns and past weird and curious fish. He finally reaches bottom, begins to wander about among the mysterious halls, where countless varieties of plants, shells and sea monsters are to be found on every hand. On he goes, when suddenly, from a huge starfish, there appears a fairy or goddess, who takes him further into the wonders of the caverns. She finally leads him into an enormous hall, where massive oysters open and from their shells step a number of pretty girls. The fisherman is charmed and bewildered by the pretty spectacle, and the girls execute a dainty dance round him. But he wanders on, and the next view shows an enormous oyster. The shell opens, disclosing the fisherman asleep inside, clutching a number of wonderful pearls. He awakens, and pressing the wonderful necklace to his breast, hurries out of the. cavern. Now all of the spacious corridors become filled with torrents of fire, but he hurries on and is soon scrambling up the bank of the stream. Still holding tight the necklace, he hurries to the home of his sweetheart, and as soon as he places it about her neck she becomes an elegantly robed lady. In a twinkling his appearance, too, changes to one of royal splendor, and the entire aspect of the house is transformed, so that it resembles a palace. Here the fairy of the sea again appears and the film ends in a scene of triumph, which is graced by many tableaux of pretty dancing maidens. -- The Moving Picture World, December 7, 1907
