Synopsis:
After America dumps barrels of toxic gas into the ocean, a race of pale people from the city of Sareme are angered. When their sacred rock is destroyed, they decide to wage war under the leadership of Nabeur Odagled. The pale people attack Atlantis and use the gas to force a surrender from Aquaman.
When Batman finds a dead Atlantean on the beach, he summons the Justice League. Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and the Atom head to Atlantis where they battle the pale people. They eventually triumph, but Aquaman blames them as surface dwellers who are responsible for the damage. Hawkman tries to make peace with the pale people giving them advice on self-reliance.
While the battle was happening under the sea, Batman sought out the Flash, who failed to respond to the emergency signal. After the other Leaguers return to the satellite, Batman returns carrying the battered body of the Flash.
