Synopsis:
Aquaman attends the dockside show of Wackyman, who uses mechanical fish to impersonate Aquaman. Pirates kidnap Wackyman and use the mechanical fish to rob sea vessels. Aquaman comes to Wackyman's aid using real fish in place of mechanical ones to fool the pirates. After he captures the pirates, Aquaman compliments Wackyman, though he requests that the clown not make him look so foolish during his act.
