Synopsis:
An old man called the Gamester tries to force Captain X to reveal the location of the Magnetic Warp, a legendary underwater fountain of youth. Captain X refuses and escapes, so the Gamester targets Dane when he discovers that Captain X is the father of the Sea Devil leader.
Man-Fish allies himself with the Gamester in an attempt to force Captain X to restore his humanity. He abducts Judy, who is caught under a hypnotic spell. Dane follows and is led into a trap. Captain X and the other Sea Devils try to protect Dane, but Captian X is forced to reveal the location of the Magnetic Warp to his foe.
Dane is released, but Man-Fish feels betrayed. They race to the Magnetic Warp. Man-Fish attacks the Gamester's vessel and destroys it. Judy is freed from the hypnotic spell and rejoins the Sea Devils. Man-Fish and Captain X then continue their feud.
