Synopsis:
An earthquake sets free a fire-breathing dragon from inside the Earth. Superman throws a meteor at it, but the monster eats it. The dragon then follows Superman around like a pet. Everything the Man of Steel does, the monster does the opposite. When he figures this out, Superman begins tricking the monster into helping him complete his task.

Superman finally realizes that the meteorite he threw contained some Kryptonite. The dragon eats it like candy. Superman lures the creature back through a crevice with another meteor, then he seals the monster inside, hoping it does not return.
