Synopsis:
A powerful underwater earthquake opens a time warp. Several large prehistoric reptiles emerge from the opening and threaten ships. Aquaman is injured while trying to stop the creatures.

Mera, who felt the quake through the dimensional barrier which separates her world from Earth, comes to Aquaman’s rescue. Together Mera and Aquaman try to defeat the reptile menace, only to discover the creatures are being controlled by criminals from the future.

The crooks have a mind control ray that gives them dominion over the reptiles. They use the ray on Mera, turning her against Aquaman. Aquaman defeats the crooks by driving the reptiles against them using a giant iceberg. Finally, Aquaman sends both crooks and reptiles back to their appropriate eras and closes the rift.
