Synopsis

Scientists unleash a subterranean horror in the South Pacific in this classic adventure by the author of Burn, Witch, Burn! and The Ship of Ishtar. 
 
Dr. Walter T. Goodwin is sailing back to New York after a botanical expedition to the South Seas when he meets his old friend, Dr. David Throckmartin. The heartbroken Throckmartin relates a haunting tale to Dr. Goodwin—a tale of a tropical island and a strange stone door through which a hypnotic otherworldly light shines. Throckmartin tells of how the light had captured his companions and of his own powerlessness to stop it. When his friend disappears, Dr. Goodwin sets out to find the source of the mysterious moonlight. Little does he realize how formidable a foe he has pitted himself against . . .

    During the Civil War, five Union soldiers and a dog quietly escape from the clutches of the Confederate Army at Richmond, Virginia by hot air balloon. Their intention was to simply drift safely over to the Union lines and rejoin their own troops.  Instead, while aloft, they were caught in a high wind and whisked hundreds of miles out to sea.  The men carried no provisions for survival and had no idea where they were.  Under those circumstances their future was bleak.  Worse yet, the balloon was leaking air and slowly deflating.  As the balloon made its slow descent from the sky, the men were fortunate to spot an island in the distance.  As the balloon dropped lower and lower it also drifted closer to the island.  When the basket hit the sea, the partially deflated balloon dragged it violently across the surface and scattered the men among the waves.  The men were able to swim to their only refuge...The Mysterious Island.  At first the island was accomodating, but then it became more mysterious as unusual and strange happenings occured.  Something deep in the depths of the island seemed to have control...something mysterious and unidentifiable....
