Synopsis:
Superman visits the Kingdom of Borgonia where everyone is required to wear a Superman costume. Puzzled by the strange custom, Superman moves through the streets as Clark Kent in a Superman suit. However, the leader of Borgonia, Torm, used the scheme to lure the Man of Steel to Borgonia. The costumes of the natives is slightly different from the real one, and Clark is given away.

A spy gathers Superman’s fingerprints and gives them to Torm. Torm then threatens to expose Superman’s fingerprints and thus his secret identity unless Superman detonates a replica of Krypton. The Man of Steel agrees and does so. The explosion creates piles of priceless jewels which are then gathered by Torm. Superman however is able to destroy the fingerprints in Torm’s vault. Then he ensures that Borgonia has a free election in which Torm is deposed as leader.
