Synopsis:
Batman and Superman attend a science exposition where Superman will help demonstrate a matter transmitter for Professor Guthrie. Batwoman has learned of a scheme by Luthor to be staged at the expo. When the heroes pretend to leave, the crooks show up to steal the new inventions. Batman and Superman stop them, and Batwoman follows some men back to Luthor. Luthor captures her and reveals the real plan is to kill Superman. Batman and Robin rescue Batwoman in time to warn Superman that Luthor is really Guthrie and the matter transmitter has been designed to kill the Man of Steel. Luthor is stopped, and Superman escapes the trap safely.
