Synopsis:
Aquaman follows an underwater rainbow and strange sounds to a nearby island. On the island he finds the ruins of an oceanography lab. He is then attacked by a group of mutant dolphins and knocked unconscious.

Later in Metropolis, Clark Kent meets a strange creature who is searching for Superman. The creature causes Superman and everyone nearby to temporarily lose their sight. It then splits in two and heads out to sea. Superman follows it. He finds Aquaman and revives him.

Together the two heroes meet the original creature. It explains that it is a mutant dolphin that was raised by humans. However, it began uncontrollably spawning clones of itself which were bent on the destruction of mankind. There are now many clones assembled. The clones use their mental powers to occupy Superman with a hallucination. Aquaman fights on. Eventually, Superman breaks the spell. Working together the mutants are defeated. Superman then carries them to another world where they can develop without threatening humanity.
