Synopsis:
Superman overhears a disembodied voice that knows his secret identity. After dealing with several emergencies, the Man of Steel realizes that the voice originates from several space ships disguised as oxygen tanks. Inside the ships are a race of tiny alien conquerers.

The aliens capture Superman with Kryptonite and learn the secret of his super-strength. Then they build a machine that gives them super-strength to use in conquering other worlds. Superman tricks them by secretly giving Lois Lane super-strength too. When the aliens realize that Lois is stronger then they are, they believe their machine has failed. They leave Earth, where their strength eventually wears off.
