"The Robot Of Riga"

Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen get lost in the marshlands outside Metropolis while investigating reports of an unidentified flying object. Jimmy activates his Super-Signal watch to call on Superman for help, but before the reporters can be rescued, they are captured and beamed up to a spaceship that quickly speeds away from Earth.

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. Will the Man of Steel be able to break through the infinitely strong armor of the mechanical monster, or will Lois and Jimmy spend the rest of their days in a space menagerie?
