Synopsis:
Aquaman receives a message from Quisp his water sprite friend. When he visits Quisp’s homeland he discovers that the criminal water sprite Quirk has invented a new weapon which has removed Quisp’s powers. The criminals trap Aquaman, then plan an invasion of the surface world using a special food that turns them into giants.

Aquaman escapes with the help of Aqualad. Then Aquaman infiltrates the sprites and retrieves the weapon which removed Quisp’s powers. He uses it on Quisp in order to reverse the effects, but the device puts him into a death-like coma.

While Quisp in unconscious Aquaman and Aqualad confront one of the criminal sprites. The sprite is producing more of the growth formula which only has a temporary effect. Quisp recovers in time to defeat the crook, then Aquaman turns himself into a giant and defeats the others.
