Synopsis for Aquaman: "The Coward And The Hero"

Johnny Blake, former Navy pilot and expert swimmer, is afraid of the water now and is branded a coward. Since he is a double for Aquaman, the sea king decides to pose as him and do great diving and swimming feats to save Johnny's reputation. But Aquaman's costume is found and his hoax is exposed. Aquaman explains to Johnny's detractors that he was downed by enemy fire in an airtime battle during his Navy pilot's service, spent days in the water clinging to wreckage before being saved by Aquaman, and developed a phobia of water. Later, when Aquaman attempts a dive from a great height into a water tank, he appears to slip, and Johnny unthinkingly leaps into the water to rescue him. Aquaman reveals that he pretended to slip to get Johnny in the water, and now Johnny's phobia is cured.
