Gorgo comes across a Soviet base at the bottom of the ocean. After he gets attacked, he destroys some Soviet subs and ultimately takes a nuclear ICBM missile as a toy. He comes ashore and chews on it causing it to explode. This tips the Americans off to an undersea base and one of their subs confronts the Soviets. Before any attack can occur, Gorgo takes all the Soviet's nuclear missiles and hides them in a deep underwater chasm like a dog hiding bones. This causes the Soviets and Americans to talk and each mentions how they are utilizing underwater farming to feed the world's hungry.
