A strange sea creature appeared in Rio de la Plata bay. It was half man and half frog, which made strange sounds at night and slashed through fishing nets. When the pearl divers on board his schooner saw the sea creature riding a dolphin, Pedro Zurito decided to catch it with a net and force it to dive for pearls. He almost succeeded, but the sea creature cut through the net at the last moment and swam away. Then he and his helper, Baltazar, dived in the cave where the sea creature lived, and found a tunnel with its entrance blocked by a steel gate. Baltazar found out that the gate led to a famous surgeon's, Dr. Salvador's, plot. Pedro Zurito sent Baltazar's brother, Christo, as a spy to Dr. Salvador, in the form of a grandfather with a sick granddaughter.
