Synopsis:
Superman has been picked up by a slaver ship after he was found drifting in space. Several of the other captives try to steal his clothes while he is unconscious. When the Man of Steel regains his senses, he fights off the other slaves. His captors recognize the fighting prowess he displays, so they take him to Warworld to fight in the arena for Mongul.

Back on Earth, the investigation into Clark Kent's disappearance continues. Amanda McCoy comes forward and informs the police that Matthew Stockton was the man murdered in Clark's apartment. Meanwhile, Matrix comes to Metropolis disguised as Clark Kent.
