Synopsis:
A race of giant ants is spotted outside Metropolis. Superman is unable to approach the ants because of the presence of Green Kryptonite. Instead, he flies into a Red Kryptonite cloud which temporarily gives him an ant head and makes him immune to Green K. He then approaches the ants and communicates with them. He learns that they are from another planet and have come to Earth to warn humans about nuclear destruction. Superman takes their message to the U.N. after the ants have repaired their rocket and left Earth.
