Synopsis:
Superman rescues a ship that has been imperiled by an iceberg. Inside the ice, Superman finds a cave man encased in a block of ice. He brings the cave man to Metropolis University where it is thawed. Surprisingly, the cave man revives.

When the cave man sees Lois Lane, he fights Superman for her. Superman eventually gets the cave man, Gob-Gob, to call down. Lois actually liked being treated like a cave girl and offers to be Gob-Gob's escort. She even gets him a movie contract. Weeks later, Gob-Gob is mobbed by women who also want the cave man treatment. Superman rescues him from the girls.

After dealing with another iceberg, Superman finds more cavemen in ice. This time though, he analyzes them himself and discovers they are only wooden dummies. The cavemen were planted by the movie company to promote the film. Gob-Gob's revival is revealed to be a hoax perpetrated for movie publicity.
