"The Invisible Raiders"

Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen cover the opening of an exhibition at the Metropolis Museum, when the floating head of an evil Sorcerer appears out of nowhere. While the fantastic vision intimidates those visiting the museum, a couple of hooded men steal the most valuable relics in the exhibition.

Superman attempts to stop the looters, but as soon as he tries to grab the hooded men, they vanish into thin air, and take Jimmy with them as a hostage. This will ensure that the Man of Steel will not follow them. What the captors don't know is that Jimmy counts with his Super-Signal watch, which he promptly activates, leading Superman to the Invisible Raiders' hideout.

The Sorcerer, however, would rather perish than be captured and imprisoned, so using his evil magics, unleashes a devastating Earthquake that will wipe Metropolis completely. Will Superman be able to stop the seismic menace, save Jimmy, and stop the Sorcerer and his henchmen?

Arriving in the planet Riga, Lois and Jimmy are taken by their captors to an outdoor cage. It is evident they have become part of an exhibition at an intergalactic zoo. When one of the Rigans comes to water and feed them, the young reporters make a run for it, but before they can board the flying saucer that brought them to the planet, they are intercepted by the gigantic Robot of Riga!

Superman follows Jimmy's emergency beacon through space to the planet of the green skies, and now must save his friends from the clutches of the colossal robot.

"The Crimson Monster From The Pink Pool"

Tusky playfully swims at the bottom of the ocean, when he comes across a strange pink pool from which all other sea life is keeping away. Curious as to the nature of the strange pool, Tusky gets closer to it, but suddenly, a crimson giant emerges from the pink goo, and starts marching towards Atlantis destroying everything in its path.

Aquaman and Aqualad receive an alert from the Aquacave scope, and as they make their way to find out why all the reefs are disappearing, Tusky catches up to them to give warning of the danger ahead. With the strength of ten whales, and a corrosive, acid-like secretion, the crimson monster is a potentially destructive menace to Atlantis!

"The Deadly Icebergs"

Three mysterious men in arctic gear use powerful lasers to cut loose immense icebergs up in the North Pole. The criminals load each iceberg with explosives and electromagnets, and then set them free. At the same time, the Gigantic, first atomic-powered cruise liner, is making its maiden voyage to the Arctic Circle, and aboard it, Lois Lane and Clark Kent are among its many passengers.

The criminals send a fake S.O.S. to the Gigantic, forcing it to detour further north in response, and into direct collision with the explosive icebergs. Suspecting a trap, Clark Kent changes into Superman and heads towards the beacon of the distress call!

While the Man of Steel combs the frozen north, the Gigantic is pulled by the electromagnets closer and closer to the icebergs. Will Superman find the criminals and unravel their ransom plot before the Gigantic suffers the same fate the Titanic did?

"The Volcanic Monster"

A long-thought extinct volcano at the bottom of the ocean suddenly comes back to life. Aquaman and Aqualad, who are monitoring from the Aquacave, swiftly depart to Vulco's Canyon to investigate. Just when the pair arrives in the edge of the canyon, the volcano violently erupts, and from the heart of the caldera, an enormous lava monster emerges.

The creature attacks the heroes and their companions, at the same time that the eruption becomes more and more intense. The heat of the lava and the cold ocean waters provoke an immense maelstrom in the surface, that soon threatens with forming gigantic tidal waves that will destroy everything on their path.

Will Aquaman and Aqualad be able to shut down the maelstrom before disaster unfolds? And will they realize in time that their loyal friend Tusky has gotten himself caught between a rock and a lava monster?

"Invasion Of The Beetle-Men"

A seemingly harmless meteor hurdles towards Earth; however in its core, five insectoid creatures communicate with their distant home world to confirm that their mission to destroy all of Earth's atomic piles is about to deploy.

Upon entering the atmosphere and due to friction, the meteorite crashes near a nuclear lab complex as nothing more than an average pebble. Shortly after, a group of atomic scientists study the object, when the alien beetles emerge from the soil, and gaining human-like size, launch a merciless attack against those present.

One of the scientists studying the sample is Professor Ray Palmer, who, after being captured and imprisoned, uses his fantastic powers to transform into the Atom. Will the Mighty Mite be able to stop the chain reaction triggered by the Beetle-Men to destroy the atomic piles, or will Earth become a mark for extraterrestrial invasion?

"The Chimp Who Made It Big"

A space capsule streaking through space and preparing to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere after its mission to Venus, narrowly misses collision with a small asteroid. A larger meteor, however, crashes with the asteroid, and the resulting shockwave bathes the space capsule with powerful radiation that also strikes at Toto, the Chimpanzee who is the sole crew member of the Venus probe.

Upon hearing the news, Superman flies off to space in order to prevent the out-of-control capsule from burning up on re-entry. After successfully landing the probe at the NASA Spacecraft Center, everyone readies to open the capsule, only to find that Toto has been transformed by the radiation into a gargantuan Ape bent on destruction: Titano! And its first victim? Lois Lane!

Can Superman rescue Lois from the feral beast before the military strikes with destructive force, or will he realize too late that Titano's transformation has granted him deadly powers?

"The Wicked Warlock"

An armored truck carrying precious jewels is on its way to the Metropolis Exchange, when a powerful Warlock emerges from the shadows and waves his magic cane to bring the giant statue at Monument Circle to life, and uses it to perpetrate an incredible heist.

Across the city, at the Daily Planet, and thanks to his super-hearing, Clark Kent can hear the truck's alarm going off, changes into Superman, and flies away to the rescue. Upon arriving at Monument Circle, Superman is able to recover the stolen goods, but the Warlock fades away at the last second.

Was the Wicked Warlock simply after some common jewels, or was there a more nefarious motive to this robbery? And will Superman be able to discover in time what the sorcerer's real intentions are before he succumbs to his evil black magic?
