Metropolis, the greatest city in the world. At the skyscraper home of its largest newspaper, the Daily Planet, photographer Jimmy Olsen is shooting photos of a typically kinetic day in the life of the Planet, including sexy star reporter Lois Lane. Lois and Jimmy are introduced by the paper's grumpy editor, Perry White, to its newest member, a tall shy bespectacled news writer named Clark Kent. Lois is initially puzzled by the man's shyness and mild social clumsiness, and is particularly struck when the two of them are held up in a back alley by a gunman, Clark faints when the thug opens fire on Lois (the fainting is cover so Clark can catch the bullet in his bare hand, which causes the gunman to run), and in defending himself to Lois rattles off a listing of all the items in her purse. As Lois and Clark hail a taxi, walking past them is a white-dressed heavyset man munching on snacks and carrying a copy of the Planet. The man is tailed by Harry and Armis, two undercover cops, for he is Otis, a clumsy henchman for criminal genius Lex Luthor, and he is on his way to Luthor's secret hideout. The cops tail him to Metropolis Grand Central Station, where Harry sends Armis to get backup while he tails Otis onto subway Track 22 leading out of the station. Otis eventually finds an indentation in the underground tunnel and waits for a train to arrive. A doorway opens under the cover of the passing train, and after it is gone Harry goes to the doorway to try and figure out how to open it - a fatal mistake for monitoring the scene from hidden security cameras is Luthor himself, who activates the doorway and violently slides Harry into the path of another train. Luthor's sexy mistress, Eve Teschmacher, asks Lex why so many people need to die, but Luthor arrogantly and condescendingly reminds her that it is an inevitable by-product of his status as the greatest criminal mind of the latter 20th century, a status to which he takes egotistical delight. When Otis arrives in their underground lair he is reminded of his clumsiness in allowing himself to be followed again, and is thus given the less-than-glamorous task of feeding "the babies," a gaggle of monstrous creatures in a vast pit used to dispatch intruders. Eve asks Lex why she loves him so much. Lex answers that the reason is that life with him is never boring. Eve goes upstairs. Lex follows her up and finds her naked in bed. They have sex. Later that night Lois Lane is scheduled to fly via Planet helicopter to Metropolis International Airport to greet Air Force One, but on the Planet's helipad she boards the chopper and when the chopper begins takeoff, a light cable is sucked free of its bracket and in the updraft caused by the chopper snags its landing skids, breaks, and plunges the chopper out of control through the helipad's control shed and crashing onto the ledge. As police hustle panicking bystanders on the streets below to safety Lois tries to crawl out of the chopper, but the ledge begins to crack and the chopper sags violently toward the street and Lois falls through, hanging on by a seat belt in the air. But amid the panic in the streets, Clark Kent emerges from the Planet and notices a yellow rain hat on the sidewalk. Upon recognizing it as one Lois was wearing, he sees the stricken chopper, and while those around him run for safety, Clark keeps his head. Running to another building down the street, Clark opens his shirt to reveal his emblem and then whirls through a revolving door at light speed and transmutes into Superman. Superman jumps into the air, just as Lois lets go of the belt and plunges to the street hundreds of stories below. Superman safely catches her and carries her upward. The chopper now breaks off the ledge and falls, but Superman safely snags it out of the air with one hand and carries it back to the Planet's helipad. When the awe-struck Lois asks who the stranger is, he merely replies, "A friend." It is but the beginning, for Kal-El undertakes numerous feats of heroism - stopping a cat-burglar using gigantic magnets to scale the Solow Building, intercepting a boatload of bank-robbers, rescuing a cat from a tree, and rescuing Air Force One when a lighting strike shatters its portside engine and wing. Watching the news about the stranger, Lex Luthor sees his arrival as a natural challenge, and the criminal warlord vows to destroy all that the stranger represents. Nearby, Eve is getting modelled in her sexy bikini. Perry White, for his part, makes discovering the red-and-blue stranger the #1 priority of the Planet and sends his entire staff scurrying to find any scrap of information about "this flying whatchamacallit." Lois, however, scoops everyone when she gets a note requesting a dinner date at her penthouse from "a friend." The dinner date takes place and as part of the interview, Lois asks Kal-El Where he comes from, and he explains that he was born on the planet Krypton in 1948, but was sent to earth as a baby when the planet was about to explode. She also asks him about his various powers, eventually bringing up his X-ray vision before teasing him about the colour of her underwear, Kal-El then uses his X-Ray vision to look under her dress and seeing what a sexy figure she has, he gives her a ride in the sky - a flight that becomes almost a romantic dance as the two begin falling in love. Kal-El returns Lois to where they kiss for the first time. Lois walks off and Kal-El follows her to her bedroom where he finds her naked in bed. He gets in bed with her and they have sex. After the sex, she falls asleep. While she’s asleep, Kal-El flies off. Lois quietly dubs him a true super man - and uses the term to identify the stranger in her subsequent front-page story, “I spent the night with Superman”. Luthor reads it and remembers a scientific theory; Superman's home world would be of a molecular construction that would be affected by the unique radiation of a yellow sun, and that meteors from Krypton upon landing on Earth would be affected to the point of emitting a radiation that would affect only Kryptonians. Luthor thus decides to put his theory to test by stealing a green meteorite unearthed in Ethiopia. Luthor's more pressing concern, however, lies in a story that two nuclear cruise-type missiles with hypersonic speed are to be tested using live multi-megaton warheads soon. Luthor intends to use the missile test to fulfil the greatest real estate swindle in history - the detonation of the San Andreas Fault, which will collapse the Western coastline of the US (namely California and its major cities) into the ocean and thus make the seemingly worthless desert of the west - which Luthor has been secretly purchasing - into multi-billion dollar windfalls, while sending the second missile to metropolis as cover. Luthor's gang go to work intercepting the two missile convoys, using a variety of guises they divert attention away from effort to reprogram the missiles' directional vectors. Days later Clark is struck by a piercing signal - it is Lex Luthor on a radio frequency only he can hear. Luthor warns Superman that a poison gas pellet is to be released into the air and kill the city's population. Clark sneaks away from others and jumps out a window, where he transmutes into Superman and traces Luthor's signal to the street; he drills into the ground and is met by Luthor's gauntlet of destruction - a wall of machine guns, then a wall of fire, finally a wall of liquid nitrogen that freezes the area. None has any effect on Superman, who bursts into Luthor's lair and demands knowledge of Luthor's gas pellet. Luthor lets the truth be known that it is a hoax, and guides Superman to a rambling revelation of his plan for the West Coast before revealing that two missiles are already launched upon Luthor's plan, with one aimed at California. Luthor reveals he can use a detonator to destroy the missiles, and Superman notices a box made of lead which he assumes hides Luthor's detonator. But when he opens it he is struck by a massive weakness, for the box contains the Ethiopian meteorite - Kryptonite, fitted to a chain necklace that Luthor drapes around him. He boasts to Superman that Metropolis is the target of the second missile before dropping Superman into his pool to drown. Luthor, however, has made a fatal mistake, for Eve Teschmacher's mother lives in Metropolis, and while Luthor and Otis monitor the errant missiles on their hypersonic flight, she pleads with Superman to stop the Hackensack missile first on his mission; he agrees and she strips down to her underwear and jumps into the pool, before getting the Kryptonite off him. Regaining his power, Superman has sex with Eve in the pool before blasting through the mammoth ceiling of the lair, into the sky, and on a direct course west. Superman manages to catch the Metropolis missile and throw it into space - just as the second missile detonates the San Andreas Fault, setting off an devastating quake that is like the destruction of Krypton all over again, a nightmare that doubly drives Superman as he flies underneath the Earth's crust to stabilise the land and flies all across the area rescuing people amid the chaos wrought by the quake. He returns to Metropolis where Luthor and Otis are preparing to drop Miss Teschmacher into the pit of "the babies." Superman, however, rescues her, and pointedly notes to Luthor that Miss Teschmacher's mother sends her love. Afterward, Superman delivers Luthor and Otis to a maximum security prison to hold him for trial. As Luthor shouts his defiance as he is led away by the guards, the prison ward thanks Superman for his good deeds. Superman humbly dismisses the praise as just his contribution to their mutual effort for the good of society.

In the bustling metropolis of Metropolis, a day in the life of the Daily Planet unfolded like a captivating tale. Amidst the constant buzz of newsroom activity, award-winning photographer Jimmy Olsen captured the vibrant pulse of the city through his lens. Among the myriad faces he documented was that of the alluring star reporter, Lois Lane.

Just then, the gruff editor, Perry White, introduced the newest addition to their team, a tall, bespectacled, and unassuming news writer named Clark Kent. Lois found herself intrigued by his apparent shyness, a quality that stood out amidst the whirlwind of personalities in the newsroom.

Their initial encounter took an unexpected turn when they were accosted by a gunman in a secluded alleyway. To Lois’s astonishment, Clark fainted when the assailant opened fire on her. The truth, however, was far from what it seemed. Unbeknownst to Lois, Clark’s sudden weakness was a carefully orchestrated deception, allowing him to discreetly catch the bullet with his bare hand and incapacitate the gunman.

As they hailed a taxi, a portly man dressed in white and munching on snacks walked past them, carrying a copy of the Daily Planet. Unbeknownst to Lois and Clark, this man was Otis, a clumsy henchman of the notorious criminal mastermind Lex Luthor. Otis’s presence caught the attention of two undercover cops, Harry and Armis, who had been tracking his movements.

Harry followed Otis to Metropolis Grand Central Station, where he dispatched Armis to summon backup while he discreetly tailed Otis onto Track 22 of the subway system. Otis eventually discovered a hidden indentation in the underground tunnel and waited for an approaching train. A doorway surreptitiously opened under the cover of the passing train, revealing itself to none other than Luthor himself.

As Harry approached the doorway, Luthor activated a deadly mechanism, sending him hurtling into the path of an oncoming train. Luthor’s ruthless actions served as a chilling reminder of his ruthless determination to eliminate any obstacles in his path.

Meanwhile, in his lavish underground lair, Luthor indulged in a moment of intimacy with his alluring mistress, Eve Teschmacher. As Eve questioned his seemingly endless capacity for violence, Luthor arrogantly dismissed her concerns, reveling in his status as the preeminent criminal mastermind of the late 20th century.

Lois Lane’s schedule that evening included a helicopter flight to greet Air Force One at Metropolis International Airport. However, fate had a different plan in store. As the helicopter lifted off from the Planet’s helipad, a loose cable became entangled in its landing skids, causing the aircraft to plummet out of control.

Amidst the chaos and panic below, Clark Kent emerged from the Planet and noticed a familiar yellow rain hat lying on the sidewalk. Recognizing it as Lois’s, he immediately saw the stricken helicopter. While the surrounding crowd fled in terror, Clark, guided by his unwavering instincts, bolted towards a nearby building.

Tearing open his shirt, he revealed the iconic emblem emblazoned on his chest. In a flash of light, he whirled through a revolving door at superhuman speed, transforming into Superman.

Superman soared into the sky just as Lois let go of her seat belt, plummeting towards the unforgiving pavement hundreds of stories below. With effortless grace, Superman caught her and carried her to safety. The crippled helicopter, now dangling precariously from the ledge of the building, was swiftly ensnared by Superman’s mighty grip and returned to the Planet’s helipad.

Lois, still in a state of shock, turned to her enigmatic savior. “Who are you?” she inquired. “A friend,” Superman replied, his voice resonating with a sense of unwavering protectiveness.

Superman’s arrival marked the beginning of an extraordinary era for Metropolis. He became a symbol of hope and justice, performing countless acts of heroism, from thwarting a cat burglar using gigantic magnets to scale the Solow Building to intercepting a boatload of bank robbers and rescuing a cat from a tree.

His most daring feat came when he saved Air Force One after a lightning strike shattered its portside engine and wing. The news of this extraordinary individual spread like wildfire, captivating the hearts and minds of the city’s inhabitants.

Observing the growing legend of the red-and-blue stranger, Lex Luthor saw an irresistible challenge. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for power, he vowed to destroy everything that the enigmatic figure represented. Meanwhile, Eve Teschmacher continued to grapple with her conflicting emotions, torn between her admiration for Superman’s selflessness and her loyalty to Luthor.

At the Daily Planet, Perry White made discovering the identity of the mysterious “flying whatchamacallit” their top priority, dispatching his entire staff to uncover any shred of information. But Lois, ever the intrepid reporter, outmaneuvered everyone when she received a note requesting a dinner date from “a friend” at her penthouse.

The dinner meeting unfolded as a captivating interview, during which Lois pressed Kal-El, as he called himself, about his origins and extraordinary abilities. He revealed that he hailed from the distant planet Krypton, sent to Earth as an infant when his home planet was on the brink of destruction.

As the evening progressed, Lois couldn’t resist teasing Kal-El about his X-ray vision, hinting at the color of her underwear. Kal-El, unable to resist, used his X-ray vision to gaze beneath her dress, marveling at her alluring figure. The moment shared between them sparked an undeniable connection, growing into a blossoming romance.

Overcome with emotions, Kal-El took Lois on a breathtaking flight through the night sky, a dance of love and trust. They returned to Lois’s penthouse, where they shared an intimate and passionate encounter. As Lois drifted off to sleep, Kal-El slipped away, leaving her with a newfound sense of hope and wonder.

Inspired by her extraordinary evening, Lois penned a groundbreaking story for the next day’s Daily Planet, titling it “I Spent the Night with Superman.” The article, filled with admiration and affection for her enigmatic companion, sent shockwaves through the city.

Luthor, reading the article with a cold fury, recalled a scientific theory he had dismissed years ago. He realized that Superman’s home world must have a unique molecular structure that would be affected by the radiation emitted by a yellow sun. Any meteors from Krypton that landed on Earth would emit a distinctive radiation that could potentially harm Kryptonians.

Determined to test his theory, Luthor orchestrated the theft of a green meteorite recently discovered in Ethiopia. However, a more pressing concern arose when he learned of two nuclear cruise missiles scheduled to be tested with live multi-megaton warheads. Luthor devised a sinister plan to use the missile test to execute the greatest real estate swindle in history.

By detonating the San Andreas Fault, he intended to collapse the Western coastline of the United States into the ocean, making the seemingly worthless desert of the West—which Luthor had been secretly purchasing—into multi-billion dollar windfalls. As a diversion, the second missile would be targeted at Metropolis.

Luthor’s henchmen intercepted the missile convoys, using various disguises to divert attention and reprogram the missiles’ directional vectors. Days later, Clark was alerted to an unusual radio signal – it was Lex Luthor, broadcasting on a frequency only he could hear. Luthor warned Superman of a poison gas pellet that would soon be released into the air, killing the city’s population.

Clark, sensing Luthor’s sinister intent, jumped out a window and transformed into Superman. He traced the radio signal to the street below and drilled into the ground, only to be met with a gauntlet of destruction orchestrated by Luthor—machine guns, a wall of fire, and finally, liquid nitrogen that froze the area.

Undeterred, Superman burst into Luthor’s lair and demanded the whereabouts of the poison gas pellet. Luthor, with an air of theatrical grandeur, revealed the truth: it was all a hoax. He then unveiled his true plan—the detonation of the San Andreas Fault and the launch of two missiles, one targeted at California and the other at Metropolis.

Luthor boasted that he could use a detonator to destroy the missiles, leading Superman to a lead-lined box that he assumed contained the device. However, upon opening it, Superman was struck by an overwhelming weakness. The box contained the Ethiopian meteorite—Kryptonite—encased in a chain necklace that Luthor draped around his neck.

Reveling in his apparent victory, Luthor gloated that Metropolis was the target of the second missile. He then callously dropped Superman into his pool to drown. However, Luthor had made a fatal error. Eve Teschmacher’s mother lived in Metropolis, and while Luthor and Otis monitored the missiles’ flight, she pleaded with Superman to save her city first.

Torn between his desire to stop the missile and his weakness to Kryptonite, Superman agreed. Eve, moved by his compassion, stripped down to her underwear and jumped into the pool, retrieving the Kryptonite from Superman. Regaining his strength, Superman shared a passionate kiss with Eve before blasting through the lair’s ceiling and soaring into the sky.

With incredible speed and precision, Superman intercepted the Metropolis missile and hurled it into space. As the second missile detonated the San Andreas Fault, causing a devastating earthquake that threatened to destroy California, Superman flew beneath the Earth’s crust to stabilize the land and rescue survivors amidst the chaos.

He returned to Metropolis, where Luthor and Otis were preparing to drop Eve into the pit of “the babies.” Superman swiftly intervened, rescuing Eve and delivering a pointed message to Luthor: “Miss Teschmacher’s mother sends her love.”

With his mission accomplished, Superman apprehended Luthor and Otis
