Peter Gunn: "Scuba"

A marine salvage owner hears something in his warehouse and finds giant footprints. When he goes out to the dock, a frogman raises up from the water and shoots him with a spear. This is one in a series of waterfront robberies. An agent of the insurance company hires Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens) to investigate. He goes to the office of the salvage company where the beautiful secretary takes a shine to him, but Stevens rebuffs her pass. Bern Hoffman, the other partner in the firm, tries to throw Stevens out, but he turns the table on him just as Lt. Jacobi (Herschel Bernardi) walks in. Bernardi says that he has information the partners had quarreled and Hoffman had tried to break the partnership.

Stevens goes to a aquatic shop and gets information about how to float something from the bottom of the river. She recommends Charles Cooper as the best skin diver around. He and Stevens go for a swim to get into the warehouse from the bottom side. Hoffman arrives and sees that someone has been there. Stevens goes back to the shop and asks how someone would hide something on the bottom of the river, and where it might be done. He goes back for a swim alone, and finds items that have been hidden. When he shows it to Bernardi, he knows exactly what where they originated. Stevens and Cooper go back to the river, but Hoffman sees them and follows. A fight ensues. It turns out that Cooper is the thief, and Hoffman was following to help Stevens.
