Synopsis:
Batman and Superman each encounter a gang of crooks using heavy-weapons in their crimes. When Clark Kent and Lois Lane try to interview two prisoners, they are kidnapped along with a prison guard and taken to a secret fort which serves as the gang’s hide-out.

Clark uses his powers to leave a trail for Batman to follow. Then Batman and Robin assault the fort. Clark must secretly help the Dynamic Duo using his powers against the crooks without being seen. Working together, the heroes successfully round up the gang, free the hostages, and protect Superman’s secret identity.
