synopsis
The wreckage of an ancient pirate ship turns out to be the headquarters of the evil, shapeshifting Torpedoman. Using methods both foul and fouler, Torpedoman manages to capture both Aquaman and Aqualad, the first step in his master plan to become the supreme ruler of the sea. But Aquaman is a lot fleeter of foot and fin than most cartoon superguys, and manages to do turn Torpedoman's own fiendish intellect and arsenal of weaponry against the villain.
