Synopsis:
Aquaman attempts to help his friend Captain Toby salvage some sunken treasure. However, a group of divers is attempting to steal Toby’s claim. Aquaman goes after them, but he is exposed to the fumes of a strange urn. The fumes remove his powers, forcing Aqualad to save him.

When Aqualad tries to capture the bandits, he too falls victim to the fumes of the urn, now in the possession of the crooks. Aquaman uses his last bit of strength to go after the crooks again, so they try using the urn on him again. The second dose restores Aquaman’s powers, allowing him to defeat the crooks. Then he restores Aqualad’s powers and smashes the urn.
