Clark discovers that the Kryptonian orb contains recordings made by his father, Jor-El. But he has barely begun to explore them when a young thief steals the artifact and sells it to the worst possible buyer: Lex Luthor.

The Metropolis Star seems able to scoop the Daily Planet on every story. Lois and Clark cannot discover how, until Clark embarks on a plan to investigate the Star and its publisher Preston Carpenter, a man in the mold of Charles Foster Kane.

Superman saves a crippled jet near Paris - while Clark Kent is in the newsroom of the Daily Planet. How can Superman be one place, and Clark another, since they are the same man? And yet, this new Superman seems to have the costume, the powers - everything Superman has. Except, perhaps, the solid moral background of Jonathan and Martha Kent. What he does have is a quite different set of moral codes, taught to him by an old adversary of Superman's who means to use the young look-alike to end Superman's career permanently.

Criminals burst into the Daily Planet offices and take most of the employees there prisoner. Only Jimmy manages to escape, eventually finding his way into the ventilation ducts.

Superman risks nuclear catastrophe if he attempts to intervene!
