What happens

The Incredible Petrified World is a 1959 science fiction film produced and directed by Jerry Warren, and starring John Carradine, Phyllis Coates and Robert Clarke. The film follows four explorers who travel down into the depths of the sea and get stranded in an underwater cavern. The film was completed by Warren in 1958, but remained unreleased until November 22, 1959 when it played on a double feature with another Warren film Teenage Zombies (1959), at least in South Carolina and Texas. The film was released later in Los Angeles on April 16, 1960, again on a double bill with Teenage Zombies (1959). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
