Three adventurers—Arbuthnot, Bickley, and Bastin—are shipwrecked on a South Sea island where they discover two figures in crystal coffins who have been unconscious for 250,000 years. Upon awakening, the powerful Oro and his daughter Yva reveal their ancient civilization's secrets. As Oro observes the modern world and grows disgusted with humanity, he prepares to reshape civilization through catastrophic destruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
