Description
In Atlantis, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner is awoken by the sound of his palace coming under torpedo attack and, before he can react, a huge pillar topples onto him and pins him to the floor, allowing two cohorts of Captain Barracuda to make away with the fabled Horn of Atlantis. Back aboard the villain's submarine, Barracuda reveals his plan to loose the monsters of the deep on New York while he and his men plunder the city. At the Baxter Building, only Ben seems unaffected by the FF's latest argument as he settles down to watch what he believes to be a monster movie on television. As the giant creature roams the southern tip of Manhattan, Ben is struck both by the realism of the movie and a sense of familiarity with its protagonist, then finally realizes he is in fact watching a news broadcast and that New York is under attack from the monstrous Giganto. The FF are assembled and rush to the scene of the attack where they are met by Namor, who explains the theft of the Horn to Reed. As the FF and Namor combine forces they are soon under attack from a horde of other creatures from the depths. As the heroes fight to keep the attackers at bay, Captain Barracuda and his men come ashore intent on plunder. With Reed, Sue and Ben engaged in defending the city's population from the attack, Johnny and Namor find Barracuda's vessel, gain entry, and wring information from the remaining crew members, who reveal that Barracuda's target is New York's First National Bank. There, Barracuda has something of a change of heart, preferring world domination to mere monetary rewards. Sue accidentally discovers Barracuda and surrounds the Horn in a force field to stop its further use. Deserted by his cronies, Barracuda is easily outnumbered by the heroes and Namor.
