Synopsis:

Superman returns to Metropolis to find the whole place transformed into a giant jail by the Master Jailer. Here he also encounter such threats as Prankster and Bizarro (when Mxyzptlk arrives on the scene, he realises it's a bad time and pops straight back where he came from). When Superman defeats all of these and breaks in to Metropolis, he faces the Master Jailer, who holds him in place for the attentions of Metallo, the man with the Kryptonite heart.
