Living under the threat of an atomic holocaust, a group of scientists build the Cyclotram, a vehicle capable of drilling to the center of the earth. Dr. Jeremiah Morley and his team enter the earth through a volcano in search of an inhabitable new world 1,500 miles below the plant's surface.

They find an underground cavern, which may be the new world they seek, but when they begin their testing, the scientists discover an unexpected surprise.
