Synopsis:
The staff of the Daily Planet travels to Meteor Island where a movie about the Jungle King is being filmed. Lucy Lane is playing the part of a jungle girl and is there as well. A local witch doctor, Mbongu, tries to chase the people away, but he takes ill. Jimmy enters his hut and discovers voodoo dolls. The boy reporter dresses as the witch doctor and is surprised to discover the voodoo dolls really work.

Jimmy is later confronted by the star of the movie who is really a wanted felon, Duke Brannigan. Brannigan forces Jimmy to use the voodoo magic on Superman which he does. Superman falls victim, while Duke reveals his identity to Jimmy. The Man of Steel then gets up and captures Brannigan. Superman had used his powers to fake Jimmy’s voodoo powers in order to trap Brannigan and get a confession from him.
