Synopsis:
Clark Kent takes a day off from the Daily Planet and assumes his duties as Superman. A Clark Kent robot is sent to fill in for him on a date with Lois Lane to tour a plastic factory. The robot’s hands become covered with a solvent which exposes the metal underneath. While Superman performs many super-deeds for the people of Metropolis, the robot must hide his disfigured hands from Lois. After the robot has successfully avoided detection several times, Superman assists him at the last moment to prevent anyone from seeing his metal hands.
