Synopsis:
Superman and Batman are abducted from Earth and teleported to another solar system. On the planet Garenvol, the heroes are forces to face off in a series of deadly challenges. The gamblers on that world then wager on which hero will win the challenge. If Superman or Batman fail to compete, the gamblers threaten to kill people on Earth including Jimmy Olsen and Robin who are held as hostages.
The gamblers believe that their red sun keeps Superman powerless. However, their sun is actually yellow. An atmospheric condition only makes it appear red on the planet. Using his powers covertly, Superman is able to locate and rescue the hostages. He and Batman then end the game and return to Earth.
