Synopsis:
An experimental rocket is launched into space. It returns to Earth with an unexpected alien passenger. The alien causes a panic on Earth, forcing Superman and Batman to search for it. The alien watches the heroes and uses its ability to change shape to emulate them. Batman deduces that the alien is a child, so he plays tag with it. Meanwhile Superman locates the child’s planet and brings a model of it back to Earth. Seeing the model makes the alien homesick, so he lets Superman take him home.
