Synopsis:
Three men buy a lagoon and begin pumping the water out of it. Aquaman worries that their actions will harm the fish in the lagoon. When the men refuse to stop, Aquaman suspects that they are looking for something on the bottom of the lagoon. However, a search turns up nothing.

Aquaman then realizes that the men are pumping the water through a filter and extracting gold. With the help of his fish friends Aquaman empties the lagoon himself, then refills it with ordinary water. The water that contained a high concentration of gold is then gone, forcing the men to abandon their project.
