Unknown World Dr. Jerimiah Morley becomes convinced that the world is headed to an inevitable worldwide nuclear war. He organizes an expedition made up of a team of expert scientists and an atomic-powered rock-boring vehicle called a “cyclotram” to find a subterranean environment where holocaust survivors could live indefinitely.
