Synopsis:
A man named Roxroyd asks Aquaman to haul a huge safe out to sea and sink it at a specific location. Aquaman agrees to help the man with the strange request. With the help of his fish friends Aquaman is able to transport the heavy safe to the location.

A band of pirates try to crack the safe. Aquaman tries to chase them off, but one of them gets through and blows a hole in the safe. The safe is really just a block of stone with nothing inside.

Roxroyd was a counterfeiter. The evidence was buried at sea at that location. The pirates were blackmailing Roxroyd because they knew of the location. The safe buried the evidence and can not be moved, so Roxroyd feels he is in the clear.

Aquaman has several whales bring the safe to show Roxroyd that he is going to be caught. Roxroyd confesses his crimes to the authorities. Aquaman then reveals that the safe the whales towed to land was really a decoy to get the confession. The real safe is still at the bottom of the ocean.
