Synopsis for "The Sea-Monster That Loved Aqua-Jimmy"

Leaving the Daily Planet one day, Jimmy Olson is met by Superman who tells Jimmy that he's set up a great adventure. Superman takes Jimmy to see Aquaman who, Superman explains, is needed to aid the people of a distant water world. Hooking Jimmy and Aquaman to a device, Superman is able to give Jimmy a copy of Aquaman's abilities to protect the seas on Earth while Aquaman is away.

In a spare Aquaman costume "Aqua-Jimmy" soon begins a busy day of helping those who have trouble out at sea. He first helps movie star Mari Lynn, who was forced to land her helicopter at sea, to get to shore in time for a photo shoot. Later, on his way to stopping a swarm of insect carrying a deadly plant disease from getting ashore, Jimmy witnesses a prehistoric sea creature breaking free from an ice berg. The creature, a female Jimmy dubs "Lizzie", is instantly smitten by him and follows him everywhere.

When stopping the bugs with the help of flying fish, Jimmy soon has to save an airplane pilot when Lizzy (in an attempt to help) smashes an airplane thinking it's one of the insects. Later stopping a lightening struck tree from setting a shore-side forest on fire, Lizzie tries to help by knocking down the flame of an old fashioned light house, knocking it onto a boat by mistake.

After getting sea creatures to throw rocks at an abandoned sea-mine, Lizzy attempts to help by hurling a rock at a bathysphere, however before she can do so, two giant sea creatures emerge from the deep and trap her in ice once more. Not long after Superman and Aquaman return from their mission. Back on shore, Superman learns that his old girlfriend, Lori the mermaid learned of Jimmy's troubles at sea with Lizzie, and summoned the sea creatures to help him out.
