The story
Dr. Abner Perry, a British Victorian scientist, and his US financier David Innes make a test run of the Iron Mole, a drilling machine in a Welsh mountain. While drilling underground, the extreme heat emanating from the magma around the Mole knocks the duo out and makes them temporarily lose control over where the machine is taking them.
