Synopsis:
While helping to recover some cargo from a damaged freighter, Aquaman and Aqualad see a spaceship land in the water. The aliens emerge and explain that they need Aquaman’s help. A satellite which controlled their food supply has fallen to the bottom of their ocean. They have come to Earth to get Aquaman to retrieve it.

Aquaman and Aqualad board the craft and get into a water tank that will provide them with water during the journey. They are knocked unconscious during blast off and when they awaken they have arrived on the alien planet.

Aquaman dives to the bottom of the ocean and sees some strange looking fish. He and Aqualad retrieve the satellite which looks like a meteor and return to the surface. Aquaman then begins fighting the aliens. They surrender and reveal they tricked Aquaman into bringing up the meteor, which is kryptonite. The ship and the strange fish were movie props. With the scheme exposed, Aquaman sends the meteor back to the bottom of the ocean.
