The Octomen, a sinister race of multi-tentacled, scientifically advanced sea creatures, use giant suction cups to capture Aqualad and thereby lure Aquaman into a trap. It turns out that the King of Octo-City intends to steal Aquaman's power of telepathy--and if ordinary methods of persuasion fail, the villain is prepared to unleash his fearsome electronic Octo-Giant. But Aquaman figures out a way to turn the tables on the Octo-Men, proving (in this case at least) that two hands are better than eight.
