Synopsis for "The Menace of the Electric Man"

Roy Pinto, an escaped convict, poses as “Roy Peters”, an aquarium owner who specializes in electric eels. He discovers that his handling of the eels has made him impervious to electric shock, and that he can conduct and direct electric shocks through his body from outside sources. He uses the ability for crime, as the Electric Man, and, for a time, Aquaman is stumped as to how to capture him. Finally, he has his octopi plunge their tentacles into a ship’s cargo of liquid rubber, and they are able to nab the villain.
