Synopsis:

The parasitic "heart-breaker" affects Superman badly, making him sullen and defeatist, losing his focus on his reason for being in Hell's Heart, to find Lana Lang. Traci Thirteen is not at all impressed, believing that he would be a true hero, but Superman is eventually shocked into action by hearing Lana's cry for help as she tries to escape some sleazy local men. He catches her as she falls from a height and flies off with her as Traci Thirteen is accosted by someone who has been looking for her.
