With Perry's experimental "mole," a steel vehicle designed to excavate the earth, the two travel 500 miles downward to discover a Stone Age type of civilization filled with prehistoric reptilian creatures and unlike anything on Earth.
However, the two men discover the hard way that these creatures, the Mahars, are not there for spectators. With intelligence and other human traits, the natives immediate capture the men and send them to Phutra, where the mayor has a stable of human slaves.
As the pair begins to learn about the society and its inhabitants, they realize that they must return quickly. However, this is easier said than done, as David and the doctor are eventually separated in their quest to return to familiar land.
Yet, this story is not all grim, as there is a light in David's eyes. Her name is Dian the Beautiful...but the feeling is not mutual. She sees him as someone looking to take advantage of her vulnerable disposition and brushes him off immediately. But the resilient David refuses to give up on true happiness.
