Synopsis:
Discovering an old log book in the shaft of a harpoon, the Sea Devils set out to look for the Emerald Whale once hunted by viking king, Lars the Red. The whale had been trapped in an iceberg one hundred years ago, when whaling skipper, Captain Bedford, and Captain Shark battled for the prize. Bedford escaped to write the journal, while Shark was trapped in the ice.

The Sea Devils locate the iceberg, and land their plane on it. The force of the landing breaks up the iceberg, freeing Captain Shark and his sub from suspended animation. Shark tows the iceberg away, and tries to kill the Sea Devils using harpoons. The team manages to use an electric eel to short out the power aboard Shark’s sub. Meanwhile, the warmer waters have freed the whale. It attack and eats the sub, before swimming away, while the Sea Devils are rescued by a passing ship.
