Synopsis:
A European army of Torans invades the lesser-nation of Galonia igniting a war. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are sent to Europe as war correspondents. Aboard the steamer, Baronta, Clark saves the life of a foreign actress, Lita Laverne from an assassin. Later, Clark catches Lita engaging in espionage.

Clark has a chance to speak with Lita at a reception after they reach Europe. The brief interview confirms Clark’s suspicions, but the reception is interrupted by a raid conducted by a bomber. Clark, as Superman, deals with the plane, and then follows Lita. He learns of a scheme to attack a neutral ship in order to bring the democracies to the side of the aggressor Torans. Superman defeats the submarine and exposes the plot and Lita.
