Synopsis:
Superman’s builds a towering skyscraper in Metropolis to store his trophys. Everyone in town believes that he has become a ham, but the skyscraper is really used as a smokestack to divert poison gas from the city.

Some criminals believe that Superman keeps dangerous trophys in the center of the tower. They kidnap Lois and take her to the roof, so they can enter the center of the building. The Man of Steel arrives in time to prevent them from being poisoned by the gas. When the threat has passed, Superman creates low-income housing with the structure.
