Synopsis:
Aquaman and Aqualad investigate the disappearance of large volumes of water from nearby lakes. The water is being stolen by alien outlaws, who wish to take it back to their own planet. One of the aliens, Syx, helps Aquaman escape from the aliens. He and Aquaman then steal a spaceship to return to the alien planet Phrygia.

On the way to Phrygia, Aquaman and Syx stop at the planet Oceanus to take enough water to save Syx’s planet. Their ship is temporarily trapped, but Aquaman commands the alien water beasts to help him free the ship.

When they reach Phrygia, the water tanks spring a leak, creating ice mountains over the alien world. Aquaman must exit into space to plant a bomb capable of destroying the ice mountains. He succeeds, but his tether to the ship is cut. He survives by performing a dive from space into Phrygia’s new ocean. Finally, he returns home to Earth to round up the outlaws.
