The Thirty-Fathom Grave
A mysterious clanging sound is heard within a submerged submarine twenty years after it
was sunk by the Japanese during World War II. Is it a sheared periscope, or the
ghosts of the drowned crewmen? Chief Bell (Mike Kellin) reveals a guilty secret that has
tormented him ever since that horrible event. This fourth-season episode is one-hour long
(so often isn't seen in syndication). The cast includes many faces familiar to Combat!
TV fans, including Simon Oakland, Bill Bixby, and Mike Kellin in a stand-out part. Also
has David Shiener, John Considine, and Conlan Carter. The episode was written by Rod
Serling.
