Synopsis:
Superman builds several machines that can fill in for his super-powers because a Kryptonite dust cloud has neared Earth and removes his powers. While the dust is present, Superman uses the machines to fight crime and make rescues, but a crooked scientist, Ephraim Snively gathers the dust to use against the Man of Steel. Superman tries to stop Snively, but he is weakened by the deadly mineral. Lois Lane steps in and uses one of Superman’s machines to stop Snively. Superman then is able to send the Kryptonite into space, restoring his powers to normal.
