With a wave of his magic, Zatara calls upon the fish themselves to teach Burley a lesson he won’t forget—using their strength to weigh him down and display him on a plaque. The story, illustrated by William White in both pencils and inks, captures a whimsical twist on justice, with a cover by Wayne Boring and Ed Dobrotka that perfectly frames the underwater spectacle.

The experience leaves Burley utterly shaken, vowing to abandon fishing for good.
