Synopsis
  • Batman and Robin encounter Clayface, a super-criminal with the power to change his body into any shape imaginable.
  • Aboard a private yacht, a meeting of officials from two countries to negotiate a peace treaty is underway. In order to protect the vessel from attack, Aquaman and Aqualad are hired to defend the ship from attackers. No matter where the ship goes, it is attacked by those who are trying to prevent the treaty from happening. After stopping every attack with the help of their undersea friends, Aquaman soon learns how the ship is found by the attackers each time: A magnetic transmitter disguised as a swordfish. With the device destroyed, the ship manages to elude any further attacks, and sometime later after the treaty negotiations are a success, Aquaman is awarded by one of the countries that nominates the day "Aquaman Day" and raises a statue of the hero in his honor.
  • When Barry Clark, an impersonation artist, sprains his ankle before attempting a grand comeback while imitating his friend J’onn J’onzz, the Martian helps out by imitating Barry imitating him, and performs Clark’s act before an appreciative audience. When a gang of crooks stumbles into Clark’s trailer and discovers the ailing mimic, J’onzz secretly appears and beats the gangsters, making it seem as though Clark is the real Martian Manhunter. The crooks are taken off by the police, and Clark shakes J’onzz’s hand.
