It's a story of a baby boy, attached to a rubber raft on a yacht sailing from the island of Trinidad who gets washed overboard in a storm and found by a nefarious scientist, the inventor of an artificial gill. He uses the baby as a guinea pig and successfully implants gills under his arms. When a tidal wave washes over the island, where the scientist and his assistant have their laboratory, they are drowned and the baby is washed out to sea. A female dolphin, that has just lost her newborn calf, finds the baby and adopts him as her own and names him Manatee.
