An underwater quake appeared to reveal a city of gold to a diver, and Aquaman was asked to lead a group of diving-suited scientists to investigate it. When they neared the city, they were met by a group of what appeared to be fishmen, who were nonetheless frightened back by the sight of an air-gun in Aquaman's hands. The sea king chased them to the surface, where the creatures unmasked, revealing themselves as human thieves, and are captured by the rest of the expedition. However, the city of gold was neither a city, nor gold, just glittering fossil remains.
