Stanley Finchcomb is descended from a family of pirates. Though his father warns him to avoid such a life, Stanley imagines that the ghost of Captain Ironfist has returned. The ghost forces Stanley to continue the family legacy. Stanley's piracy brings him into conflict with Superman. Superman discovers Stanley's pirate ship and rescues Lois, who was taken captive. Stanley tries to flee, then his father's angry ghost appears. Shocked by the appearance, Stanley falls to his death.
