“The Million-Dollar Athlete!”

Captain Gregg has a mail contract to deliver to isolated islands in the South Pacific. Among his clients is Aquaman, who regularly gets a sack of fan mail. The year-long probation is almost up, after which Gregg will get a permanent contract. But Shark Barton, former smuggler, also wants that contract and tries to sabotage Gregg's deliveries by setting fire to the ship. The mail bags sink as a result, but, upon learning they are in waterproof sacks, Aquaman has his finny friends deliver them instead.
