Crime doesn't pay. Not when SUPERMAN is around. Yet that won't stop METROPOLIS miscreants feverishly bent on malevolent misdeeds. A deadly KRYPTONITE ray gun, knights in armor, anti-memory vapor, a gizmo that zaps bad guys across phone lines, even a mind-reading burro who taps out responses (and who has suspicions about CLARK KENT!), all are called into futile service to thwart the MAN OF STEEL.
