Una invención diabólica (1958)
Un malvado millonario llamado Artigas planea utilizar un artefacto explosivo para doblegar a las naciones libres, operando desde un submarino pirata, donde mantiene como prisionero al inventor del explosivo. En uno de sus raids hunde un buque que llevaba a la bella Jana, la hija del profesor, la cual es rescatada y llevada al cuartel general de Artigas, bajo un enorme volcán. Este filme está basado en la novela 'Face au Drapeau', que Jules Verne escribió en 1896. Combinando collage, animación fotograma a fotograma, falsas perspectivas, decorados, miniaturas y sobreimpresiones, Zeman construyó planos de un barroquismo hipnótico que, en una película como Una invención diabólica, dotaron de vida los aguafuertes elaborados por Benette y Riou para los libros de Julio Verne editados por Pierre-Jules Hetzel.
