- The Superman Pageant: (Superman) A silent film-era director named Karl Kruger is putting in a tribute shot to Superman in which the man of steel will be played by a complex robot made by his backer who prefers to remain anonymous. not surprising seeing as he is actually a criminal named Dr. Vallin who intends the show as a trap that will "mean the certain death of Superman". when show time comes the robot isn't working so Superman secretly takes its place in the show just as Dr. Vallin planned so he would be too distracted to stop a gold theft taking place at the same time.
