Synopsis:
New York City is flooded when the Atlantic Ocean rises. The authorities contact Zatara for help. The magician theorizes that the flooding is the result of a melt in the polar icecaps. Zatara then tracks down Berhener, a scientist that has created a heat ray. The scientist is responsible for melting the icecap in hopes of extorting the world for money. Zatara freezes the scientist inside an iceberg and sinks the heat ray into the ocean, ending the global threat.
