On the Metropolis waterfront, an

abandoned lighthouse serves as the secret

meeting place of a criminal organization

called APE, A-P-E,

the Allied Perpetrators of Evil, a

sinister organization made-up of the

toy man, a vicious criminal. whose

harmless-looking playthings are actually

instruments of destruction. The wicked

warlock, a male witch who derives

his black magic power from a sorcerer's

ruby in the tip of his cane. The

prankster, a public nuisance with a

warped sense of humor and a bag full of

evil tricks. And Lex

Luthor, world's greatest criminal

scientist, who is about to demonstrate

his newest invention,A kryptonic

beam projector. This

kryptonic beam is the only thing that can

destroy Superman, has a range of

one-half mile. What we must do

then is bring him into that range.

Right. Once in range, the beam

will stay on him until he's finished off.

Any volunteers?I think I know how to

lure him here. Good.

In the office of the Daily Planet,

Superman, in the guise of mild-mannered

reporter Clark Kent, is galvanized into

action when his superhearing detects a

distant fire alarm.

It's a docked ocean liner on fire.

This is a job for Superman. Up, up,

and away!

A smoke pot. Someone's idea of a

joke.

A fake fire hydrant with skyrockets in

it. That helicopter.

Oh! Great Scott!

That beam! Must be

kryptonite. Look! The cage! We've

got him! Ha ha! Look at that

poor pool. Beautiful, Luthor.

Beautiful.

Beam. Not as powerful.

Underwater. Must

swim away. Ah

I'll rest here for a minute

before dealing with those monsters.

I told you I'd get him in range. Yes,

but he's not finished yet, Plankstar.

Leave him to me, Luthor. I'll make him

come back. How, toy man?

I'll play with him. With

this toy. A

transistorized mechanical woodpecker,

which can peck through a tree trunk

faster than a buzzsaw.

That mast, it's going to crash on the

picnic boat. HuhWatch the mast!

Look out!

Oh, kryptonite. Again.

Back into the water.

My little toy did just what I wanted it

to do. Maybe this time it's really

finished. Ah, lead

tubing. Krypton

cannot penetrate lead.

Congratulations, fellow evildoers.

We've destroyed Superman.

Excellent. Excellent.

Wait, what's that?

It's Superman.

Warlock, quick. Stop him!

Leave it to me!

Now the Warlock's in the game. Okay, I'll

take his trick and finish with a grand

slam.

Holy smokes! He's coming right at us! I'm

getting out of here! Me too!

Do something, Warlock! Do

something!Only one thing

to do, make myself invisible.

I'll take that magic, Ruby.

Up, up, and away!

No! No I can't stand

water!Come, come, warlock. A

little dip won't hurt you. Let

me out of my heart! Don't hurt me!

You be out of here! Hmm,

good fishing today, eh, Luthor?
