Synopsis:
Aquaman and Aqualad have been asked to help with the production of a television show called Sea Chase. The actors have come down with the Bends and cannot perform, so Aquaman takes over for them.

Aquaman and Aqualad begin filming a film called "The Lost Ocean". Something goes wrong with a prop whale, but Aquaman uses his fish friends to help. The scene turns out well. In the next scene, Aquaman raises a giant egg to the surface but gets chases by a sea creature. With the help of his octopi, the impromptu scene is filmed. When the film is released, no one realizes Aquaman’s involvement.
