When a team of scientists searching for the lost city of Atlantis crash‑lands on an uncharted island, they confront a menagerie of prehistoric creatures assembled largely from stock footage taken from films such as One Million BC. Occasionally a handmade papier‑mâché monster emerges, but the production reflects the characteristic low‑budget Mexican filmmaking of its era. The film stars Armond Silvestre and Alma Delia Fuentes.
