The Super-Duel in Space! - Superman encounters a foe he cannot physically harm - how will he ever save the earth from Braniac?
Clark and Lois board the 'Columbus' the first manned rocket ship to outer space. Once in space they encounter the flying saucer belonging to a highly advanced alien being named Brainiac.
