Synopsis:
Aquaman is assigned to protect the dignitaries of two countries who are meeting to sign a peace treaty. Several attempts to destroy the boat carrying the men are made, but Aquaman, Aqualad, and his fish friends put up a successful defense. When the treaty has been signed the boat returns to shore, while Aquaman defuses yet another attempt on the lives of its passengers. He then discovers that the assassins used a mechanical swordfish to keep tabs on the boat. With the treaty safely in place, a truce is declared, and Aquaman is rewarded for his heroic efforts.
