Synopsis for "The Pearls of Peril!"

Jann is out diving with her friend Pat Mahoney to get photos for his editors back in the United States. While in the water Jann tangles with a Mako shark, roping it up so Pat can dive down and take pictures safely.

After Pat dives into the water, their boat is approached by a man named Carter and his assistant who are unhappy to see Jann and Pat there after they went through the trouble of keeping the native fishermen away. They ask to talk to Jann, preparing to attack her when she notices that Pat is in trouble below the waters, and dives in. Carter tries to shoot her with a harpoon, but misses. She takes the harpoon and swims to Pat whose leg is caught in the maw of a giant mullosk. Using the harpoon as a lever she pries the mullosk's mouth open freeing Pat and in doing so she sees that the mullosk has a giant pearl in its mouth.

She then pulls Pat away to some reeds that obscure them from sight and watch the two men in the other boat. When they haul their harpoon back up they also pull up the massive mullosk with the pearl inside. Trying to take it out hoping to get a fortune, their guard is down long enough for Jann to yank that harpoon keeping the mullosk's mouth open so that it snaps shut on Carter's hand. Jann then has Carter and his assistant to leave empty handed in return for being set free.

After they are gone, Jann returns the mullosk to the water and Pat agrees to destroy his pictures of the mullosk in order to keep the pearl a secret in order to prevent others from coming to take it.
