Synopsis:
Batman and Robin are kidnapped inside plastic globes and taken into space. Superman tries to rescue them, but if he destroys the globes it will kill the Dynamic Duo. He follows them to the planet Zoron, where Alba, a Zorian explains the kidnapping.

They need Superman’s help to defeat a race of conquerors. Superman has no powers on this planet because it is surrounded by a Kryptonite-like substance. Batman and Robin gain powers in this environment though, so they help Alba. Superman escapes into space and makes a timely rescue too, by throwing a meteor toward the planet. With the conquerors defeated, the heroes return to Earth.
