Oh, it gets better. The evil sub-ocean dwelling
inhabitants of sunken Lemuria are attacking all us
surface dwellers with their flame thrower equipped
submarines, and their pet: Manda the giant sea monster.
Our heros convince the Nemo character to use his
super-sub to attack Lemuria. They use a freeze-gas
ejector to put Manda into a frozen coma, drill into
the heart of the Lemurian empire, and plant
explosive charges on the Lemurian nuclear reactor,
quick-freezing any Lemurian guards foolish enough to
attack.
I forgot where I got my copy, but I'm sure a
web search should turn up people willing to
sell you a copy.
There was a weird Anime version (Super Atragon) which had
little to do with the original, except for the sub.
