Atlantis - Der verlorene Kontinent (1961)
Der griechische Fischer Demetrios und sein Vater Petros retten eine Frau aus einem Schiffswrack. Die Frau ist Prinzessin Antillia. Sie stammt von der Insel Atlantis, deren Bewohner eine technologisch hochstehende Zivilisation errichtet haben. Demetrios erklärt sich bereit, Antillia zurück nach Atlantis zu bringen. Bei seiner Ankunft wird er versklavt. Es stellt sich heraus, dass König Cronus von Zoran manipuliert wird. Zoran lässt sich dabei von dem Zauberer Sonoy helfen, der mit den Bodenschätzen von Atlantis die Welt erobern will. Die Sklaven bauen Kristalle ab, die das Sonnenlicht absorbieren. Sie können dann benutzt werden, um Hitzestrahlen abzuschießen. Mit der Hilfe des Priesters Azar kann Demetrios die Prinzessin von den arglistigen Zaubersprüchen retten und verhindern, dass der Zauberer den Thron erobert. Mit der Prinzessin kann er dem Untergang des Inselreiches entkommen.
