Synopsis for Aquaman: "Aqua-Queen"

When Aquaman is the guest judge at a charity swim meet he gets the ire of Dale Conroy, a wealthy heiress, when she isn't crowned Miss Aquamaid 1960. She vows that she'll prove to Aquaman that she is better than all the other contestants. Months later, Dale Conroy resurfaces and appears to be able to achieve aquatic feats that surpass Aquaman and Aqualad's own abilities, and she ends up beating Aquaman to completing various jobs he is on. She eventually challenges Aquaman to a duel to see who is more worthy of the title of ruler of the seven seas, and surprisingly Conroy wins each one.

Suspicious, Aquaman and Aqualad decide to investigate how Conroy is achieving all these feats, and soon find that she has been doing so due to the aid of invisible oxygen tanks, fish repellent and a "midget" submarine to achieve all the feats. When they spot her once more on the "midget" submarine, but out of control, Aquaman saves her and the school of fish she's about to crash into. Upon being brought aboard a destroyer, she admits the whole thing was a fraud and apologizes to Aquaman.
