Synopsis:
Aquaman receives a plea for help from a seal from Seal Island. Poachers led by Morrell are killing the seals and taking them aboard their ship. Aquaman makes trouble for them in an attempt to chase them off. However, the poachers capture him and place him on a tropical island without water. The poachers threaten to shoot him if he goes near the water.

Before the hot sun can finish him off, Aquaman locates an underground tunnel leading back to the ocean. Having escaped the island, Aquaman enlists the aid of a swordfish to create a hole in the hull of Morrell's ship. He then signals the authorities to arrest the poachers.
