Seymour Hicks plays the batty Professor who intends to prove that there is something in the water and prove to the locals while they all think he is mad. Back then the effects were dated and the underwater sequence looks like it was filmed in a somewhat glass tank and the monster...well I will leave that to you to figure out what it looks like. to be honest, this was enjoyable.
