Synopsis:
While diving near his yacht millionaire Peter Dudley accidentally snares Mera in a net. Dudley falls in love with Mera, but realizes that Aquaman stands in his way. He pays Dr. Hans Ludorf to alter his appearance to match that of the Sea King. Unfortunately, the procedure goes awry transforming Dudley into a mutant Aquabeast.

Aquabeast soon invades Atlantis and kidnaps Mera. With superior strength granted him as a result of the transformation, Aquabeast also defeats Aquaman. As he flees the city with Mera in tow, Aquabeast runs into a race of demonoids which attack him. The struggle gives Aquaman time to catch up in pursuit.

Aquaman is defeated by the demonoids while Aquabeast continues his escape with Mera. The Sea King manages to summon a kraken to his aid which overcomes the demonoids. Before Aquaman can catch Aquabeast, Dudley encounters an alien mutant called Hammuri. The two mutants do battle and are pulled into a whirlpool where they disappear forever. Aquaman finally arrives to take Mera home.
