Synopsis:
Batman and Superman agree to reenact past feats of super-skill at a benefit for charity. Superman constructs a huge outdoor amphitheatre and brings trophies gathered from past missions. The duo then performs for the crowd. During each stunt, Batman and Superman make mistakes which ruin the stunts. They claim the stunts are accidents, but they are actually purposeful. A film producer is trying to swindle the charity. When the stunts are muffed, he terminates his contract. The heroes then are able to redo their stunts correctly, with the film proceeds going to charity.
