Synopsis

While checking cables beneath the streets of downtown New York, Charley Paine is trapped by a flash flood. He spots a door in the tunnel wall and goes through it, emerging in a civilization long since past. Taken before a Governor, he is told the underground town was built in 1660 to hide from the tyrant, Peter Stuyvesant of Nieuw Amsterdam. Charley is imprisoned, but uses his flashlight to blind a guard and escape, making it back to the tunnel entrance where he is rescued. When his rescuers look into the passage he emerged from, all they see are human bones!
