Synopsis:
Aquaman and Aqualad return to Atlantis after rescuing the survivors of a plane crash in the ocean. Aquaman receives a hero's welcome, but Aqualad feels ignored. Aqualad then meets Tula, an Atlantean girl his own age. She convinces him to leave Atlantis and have some adventures of his own. Aquaman is disappointed, but he lets Aqualad leave.

Aqualad and Tula soon find an underwater dance club run by Dr. Dorsal. Their appearance at the club is a big success, so Dorsal pays them to perform as house dancers. However, Dorsal is really a crook from another underwater dimension. Dr. Dorsal hypnotizes Aqualad and Aquagirl, then orders them to commit crimes. Other teenagers join in on the crimes when they see Aqualad is involved.

Word of Aqualad's crimes reaches Atlantis. Aquaman, disguised as a beach comber, is able to infiltrate the gang. However, Dorsal discovers his identity. Dorsal then sets Aquaman up to be killed. When Aqualad sees this, he is able to overcome the hypnosis. Aquaman has survived the attack and together with Aqualad, he forces Dorsal to flee into his home dimension. Aqualad then returns to Atlantis with his mentor.
