Below the Sea (1933)

In the closing days of World War I, a German U-boat, heavy with gold bullion, sinks into the ocean's abyss. Fifteen years later, the sole surviving captain nurtures a relentless ambition to retrieve the sunken treasure. Persuading a waterfront dive proprietress to fund his venture, he also recruits a globally acclaimed undersea diver to aid his quest. However, fate intercedes when the woman's ship tragically succumbs to the sea. Undeterred, the determined duo align themselves with a new benefactor—a woman driven by scientific curiosity rather than wealth. Capitalizing on her expedition's state-of-the-art equipment, they craft a daring plan to reach the wreck and recover the gold. As they venture into the ocean's depths, the allure of treasure and the thrill of discovery intertwine, setting the stage for a gripping underwater odyssey. This is 'Below the Sea', a deep-sea adventure where ambition, intrigue, and danger lurk beneath the waves.

Below the Sea is an adventure movie featuring Paul McVey and directed by Albert S. Rogell.
