Synopsis:
Long ago the people of Mu left the Earth in a spaceship when they believed the planet was doomed. Now, after millennia in space they return to Earth and are surprised that humanity has survived. They are angry and seek to destroy the humans by creating seemingly natural disasters around the globe. The Justice League splits its forces to handle the emergencies. Superman, Atom, and Aquaman handle earthquakes in Iron; Flash, Green Arrow and Black Canary fight monsoons in Vietnam; Batman and Green Lantern are dispatched to California where a tidal wave threatens the coast line. Green Lantern is struck by a lightning bolt and never arrives.

While the heroes use their powers to battle nature and protect people, ordinary people are the ones who stop the menace. The Mu are using ancient artifacts to control the weather. Two of the artifacts are destroyed. Investigating, the Mu pilot their spaceship to California and defeat Batman. They then capture a surfer named Pete Conk. After questioning him, they eject him from the ship, but not before he damages their engines, causing the ship to crash. The Justice League never learns what caused the disasters to suddenly stop.
