Synopsis:
The residents of Metropolis are shocked when two wonders of the ancient world appear in their city. A giant Colossus has been constructed in the harbor and a reconstruction of Babylon's Hanging Gardens puzzle everyone including Superman. When a rain storm strikes the city, the two wonders are destroyed. They were constructed with weak materials that couldn't withstand the rain.

The next day, three former silent movie stars visit the Daily Planet and explain that they constructed the wonders for publicity. Superman then agrees to help them film a new movie that will revive their careers. Superman constructs new props and takes the cast and crew around the world. When production is finished, Superman is honored with a giant statue of his own in Metropolis Harbor.
