Description

The scene is set when Lazarus Tretiiak, a Physics Professor and four of his students at the French University of the Pacific in Tahiti decide to hijack an advanced deep-ocean submersible and its research vessel.  The activists are determined to use the submersible to photograph the Mururoa Atoll near Tahiti to prove to the world that dangerous radionucleides from previous atomic testing are leaking into the South Pacific.

To force the commander of the submersible tender, Admiral Alain Gagnon, to travel to the Mururoa Atoll the activists involve the Admiral´s stepdaughter, Terri´i.  The result is a fast-pitched adventure matching Jacques L´Amareau, Head of the French equivalent of the CIA against the ringleader of the nuclear protestors.
