Based on the novel His Bones Are Coral by Victor Canning, the film follows a smuggler who becomes involved in a dangerous underwater treasure hunt off the coast of Sudan. Combining adventure, crime and shark attacks, the film gained notoriety after a fatal accident during production and remains an unusual entry in late 1960s shark cinema.

Broke and desperate, he agrees to sign up as a deck hand to ichthyologist Dan Mallare (Barry Sullivan) and his mistress Anna (Silvia Pinal) who are supposedly collecting rare fish specimens.

Caine soon discovers that his new employers are crooked treasure hunters look for gold bullion buried in the deep, shark-infested waters and that they would stop at nothing to ger their hands on sunken treasure.
