Mermaid Queen

Mermaid Queen appears in the 1962 movie The Mermaids of Tiburon. The scenes featuring the mermaid and the main characters actions under water were later reused in a 1964 TV-Show "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" 19th episode of Season 3. Some new footage inside the submarine were also filmed using the same tail. The mermaid was played by actress Diane Webber. The tail was passed on to Marta Kristen as Lorelei in Beach Blanket Bingo.

The Mermaids of Tiburon
Dr. Samuel Jamison is looking for fire pearls near the island of Tiburón. Immediately when reaching the island, he saw a mermaid. Curious of what he saw he dived in, and went looking for her.

The mermaid Queen saw a man swimming, and curiously followed him secretly. The mermaid was spotted by the man, who then started chasing her, but he was interrupted by a shark, which forced him to flee. The man returned however, and once the mermaid Queen had let go of the shark she was riding, the man started chasing the mermaid again.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
The mermaid was later captured by Captain Lee B. Crane in a grotto, where there were other mermaids, and brought aboard his submarine. He was quite enchanted by her, and ignored everything that happened around him. Mermaid's mate, who looked like a creature from a black lagoon, came looking for her, and wrecked the submarine, which caused Crane to fall over and hit his head. That brought him out of his trance the mermaid hold over him. Crane then made a deal with the mermaid, if he lets her go free, she would lead them to a new undetectable nuclear bomb in the bay, and they would disarm it. The mermaid kept the agreement they made, and lead Crane to the bomb, which they then defused.
