Synopsis:
When Aquaman finds that his octopus friend, Topo, has been injured, he decides to open a hospital for injured fish. Many fish arrive for treatment including a shark with a sore tooth, a salt water deprived dogfish, a feverish whale, and many more. Aquaman helps the injured sea creatures as an undersea doctor.

Aquaman is called away when a group of pirates stage a nearby raid. Aquaman stops them but is shot by one of them. Topo and the other sea creatures take Aquaman to the hospital. They perform surgery on him and bandage his wounds. Some time later Aquaman recovers. His life has been saved by the underwater denizens.
