The show begins with the Bryce family out in the ocean on a boat. Walter Bryce (Edward Binns) is excited because they just spotted a whale twice the size of the largest previously discovered whale. He decides to shoot a harpoon at the creature to implant a device to take various measurements. Not surprisingly, this ticks off the creature and it turns and destroys the boat...killing Walter's son. He and his wife, Ellen (June Lockhart), survived.
Six months pass. The Seaview has inexplicably been ordered to help Walter find this giant whale. Little do they realize that for Walter, it's a one-way mission...he just wants to kill the whale and it's got nothing to do with research any more! In the process, the creature once again becomes enraged and attacks the sub.
This episode is essentially a re-write of "Moby Dick". Because of this, there are not surprises here. Watchable but not much more. Plus, the Admiral is amazingly dumb in this show...even when it's obvious that it's a lost cause.
