Milo (
Timothy Carey) is a fugitive killer who ends up alongside a marine biologist, Dr. Samuel Jamison (George Rowe,) in this slightly pretentious, routine fantasy-drama about a hunt for rare and valuable "fire" pearls. The two men make their way to the island of Tiburon (the aptly named Shark Island) off the coast of Mexico, where after many scenic dives, they finally encounter the precious pearls. The only problem is that the pearls are guarded by a fearsome shark and a bevy of mermaids, headed by a queen (Diane Webber). Well, almost the only problem. The other problem is that the ruthless Milo is, after all, a killer. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
