Plot summary
A suspicious earthquake, and a series of signals picked up by Professor Norton's instruments, send the scientist and his rocket submarine toward the suspected site of Atlantis. Lieutenant Crash Corrigan and reporter Diana Compton join the expedition, and the professor's son Billy stows away on board. In the engine room, the sailor Joe panics at the depth and sends the submarine into a dive. The expedition reaches the lost continent, caught between Sharad's White Robes and the usurper Unga Khan's Black Robes. Khan's Disintegrator can raise earthquakes at a distance, and he intends to take Atlantis before turning it on the surface world.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Sharad of Atlantis (1936)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Ray "Crash" Corrigan used that screen name for the first time in Undersea Kingdom, and it was coined to sound like "Flash Gordon". A former stunt man who swung on vines in Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), he kept the name for the rest of his career in serials and B-Westerns.
- Undersea Kingdom was budgeted at $81,924 but its final negative cost was $99,222, a $17,298 or 21.1% overspend. It has the lowest budget of any Republic serial, though it was only the third cheapest in actual production cost.
