Seemingly Irwin Allen's crew had not fresh ideas to offer, then come out reheated previous ones, this premise already had shot in first season in "The Ghost of Moby Dick" and opening second season "Jonah and the Whale" and now "The Shape of Doom".
Another genius mad scientist Dr. Holden (Kevin Kobick Hagen) that oversized a whale and henceforth track down her in his own research vessel is hit by the giant whale ends up in shipwreck in danger area has been rescued by Seaview aftermaths as only survivor, actually Dr. Holden did not know about the US's Navy joint-operation, settles a 50 megaton bomb-device by Seaview to put it on the bottom of sea to open an undersea channel aiming for to saving money and time over usual construction cost.
Sadly during the operation to put down the bomb-device is eat by the giant whale, hopeless Nelson demands torpedo the whale with high dosage of tranquilizes to after take the whale to safe place to blast her, Dr. Holden an old acquaintance of Admiral Nelson asking for him postpone the full operation to get whale's tissue sample to save all his long research, worst the US's president in nearby on board of aircraft carrier and they didn't get communication due the Seaview's antenna was destroyed by whale hits in the advanced submarine several times.
