A caveman frozen in ice is revived at the Museum of Natural History. The caveman runs amok, until Lois Lane soothes the savage beast. Later however the caveman seems responsible for the death of one of the museum scientists as well as a robbery spree. Lois checks the museum and finds the criminal caveman is an imposter used by Museum Professor Steffens and gangster Duke Brady. Superman tracks down the crooks and rescues Lois, but the real caveman dies in the battle.
