Superman receives information from British Intelligence about W. Percival Schott, a toymaker that has been killing his former bosses. Luthor owns one of the toy companies and is believed to be Schott's next target. Superman saves Luthor and is then attacked by explosive toys. He traces the attack to a warehouse, but Toyman has already been captured by a mysterious figure.
Superman returns to the Daily Planet. Lana Lang enters and reveals herself as a Manhunter. She attempts to expose Clark's secret identity, then escapes. Superman follows her back to Smallville.
