Synopsis:
Superman meets several women that appear to have super powers. When he investigates them, he is led to the South Pacific island of Florena which is inhabited by a race of alien women. The women are exiles from their home planet of Matrion. They hope to use Superman to strengthen their bloodlines, so their descendants can return home.

Superman attempts to escape the island, but he is trapped by a Kryptonite dome. One of the girls, Orella challenges and defeats Superman in three tests of strength. Shocked, Superman agrees to stay and become Orella's husband. He then sabotages the pre-wedding rituals, using them to expose Orella's tricks which enabled her to defeat him. Since he has cheated out of his victory, Superman is allowed to leave the island in peace. He later learns that the original civilization of Matrion has been wiped out.
