King Tai, ruler of Timtu celebrates his son’s birthday at sea. As a gift to the young prince, the king places 26 pounds of diamonds in the boy’s chest. Moments later the chest has been thrown in the water while no one is looking.

Aquaman is called upon to retrieve the chest. He finds it on the ocean floor empty. When he brings up the empty chest, he is accused of stealing the diamonds. He dives again to see if they spilled out. While underwater, Aquaman carves new diamonds from an iceberg. The fake diamonds are recovered which causes the real thieves to worry.

The real thieves realize it is a trick, but they double-cross one another and the diamonds are recovered in a life preserver.
