"The Whirlpool"
A super tanker heading to Norway is commanded by Captain Croner.
To arrive in record time, he takes the giant ship right through a winter storm.
Fearing for their lives, the crewmen send an S.O.S. from the radio room.
The Super Friends receive the alert. Aquaman and Black Vulcan go to the rescue.
Turned into a lightning bolt, Black Vulcan makes it to the tanker first.
Black Vulcan repairs the damaged bulkhead by welding it with his powers.
Aquaman heads for the bridge and tries to reason with Croner.
The captain however, has gone crazy and refuses to turn around.
The tanker's rudder suddenly snaps, and the ship heads straight for a maelstrom.
Croner realizes too late he does not have enough power to go around the whirlpool.
Aquaman dives into the raging waters and reaches under the ship.
The King of the seas manually keeps the rudder in position.
In the machine room, Black Vulcan overcharges the generator to 50,000 Volts.
This produces enough power to successfully overcome the maelstrom.
The Super Friends pull the tanker out of the whirlpool, and take it to Norway.
Once everyone is safe, Captain Croner faces the consequences of his actions.
