The story

A narration by Dr. Frank Baxter, an English professor at the University of Southern California, explains the premise of the film and its basis in reality. He briefly discusses the Hollow Earth theories of John Symmes and Cyrus Teed among others and says that the film is a fictionalized representation of these unorthodox theories.
