In the far and distant future of 1968, many ships and planes are crossing the North pole to transport passengers and cargo. However lately more than eight ships and seven submarines have vanished mysteriously. The Tigershark is sent out to investigate their whereabouts and - if possible - remove the cause of their disappearance. But the life form Commander Vandover and his crew encounter may be too powerful even for their weapons of newest technology...

Movie Trivia:
- The trailer for this Allied Artists release played down the science fiction elements and made it look more like a military action film.
-
This was the last feature for the team of Jack Rabin, Irving Block and Louis DeWitt.
-
The film inspired the movie and TV series VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. It was also remade as an episode of that series.
-
Last film of Victor Varconi and Jack Mulhall.
-
Producer Alex Gordon wanted to hire veterans Frank Lackteen and Edmund Cobb as passersby. The studio objected to the $100 salary for each contending that they were functioning as extras were only entitled to $20. Wanting these old-time actors to get a day's pay, Gordon paid them out of his own pocket.
