Synopsis for Aquaman: "Silly Sailors of the Sea!"
When three teenagers decide to go for a joyride in somebody else's boat, Aquaman and Aqualad set out to teach the boys a lesson in respecting other peoples property. In an attempt to scare them straight, Aquaman, Aqualad and Aquaman's friends of the deep all pitch in to try and scare the three novice sailors into returning to shore. It takes Aquaman and Aqualad disguising themselves as pirates and approaching the three teens in a mock pirate ship in order to scare them back to shore. Doffing his disguise and returning to shore, Aquaman is glad to hear that after their run in with the "pirates", the boys have vowed never to go joy riding in a boat again.

Trivia
- The Legion of Superheroes in the 30th century had time travel but no explanation of why it doesn't still exist in the 50th century is given. Given that Superman would be pulled to the 24th century of a parallel Earth by a similar device[1] it is questionable if "Superboy Visits the 50th Century!" even happens in a possible 50th century of Earth-One.
