Synopsis:
While vacationing in the Mediterranean, the Sea Devils meet the people of Blisspotamia. The people fear a holocaust because they have failed to recover the golden head of Tyla-Ta from the ocean. Dalliope, a young girl, has agreed to sacrifice herself to the gods to save her people from the holocaust. Judy agrees to take her place, while the other Sea Devils search for the head.

Judy finds herself at the mercy of a giant salamander. The other Sea Devils rescue her and fight off the creature. They locate the head and fight off two additional menaces, but Nicky is turned to stone while fighting a basilisk. After locating the head, the holocaust is prevented. Dalliope then kisses Nicky’s stone body, restoring him to normal.
