A survey of sea-monsters past and present, and a discussion between Lt.-Commander R.T. Gould (author of "The Case for the Sea-Serpent") and David Seth-Smith, Curator at the London Zoo.
With Stanley Lathbury, Finlay Currie, Percy Parsons, Kaye Seely, Mario Francelli, Basil Cunard, Bernard Miles, and John Salew

Last October, Lt.-Commander Gould told viewers in "Picture Page" that he was a firm believer in the existence of sea-monsters, and in this television feature programme he will have more time to vent his views. He has collected the evidence of several witnesses, including the extraordinary case of 1848, when prosaic Admiralty officials were puzzled by a long eye-witness account of a sea-monster, written by the captain of H.M.S. Daedalus.
