Synopsis:
A man named Captain Noah has built an ark and is collecting animals aboard. He prophesies a second deluge. After his prediction, a terrible storm strikes the ocean. Aquaman and Aqualad save a plane from crashing in the storm.

The next day another terrible storm strikes as Noah predicted. Aquaman must save several boats from destruction. Following the storm, Aquaman visits Noah’s ark and even delivers two octopi for Noah’s collection. When he leaves, Noah reveals that he is the cause of the storms. He has made a device to extract gold from sea water, but it creates terrible storms.

Aquaman protects the coastline from a third storm that has struck from nowhere. After it too passes, he has several whales push Noah’s ark to shore. His octopi were planted as spies, and they alerted Aquaman to Noah’s villainy. The coast guard arrives to apprehend Noah.
