Synopsis:
Lois Lane befriends a performing chimpanzee, Toto. Toto is launched into space as part of an experiment. During his space flight, a uranium and Kryptonite meteor collide near his capsule. When Toto returns to Earth, he grows to giant size. Lois Lane dubs him, Titano.

Titano is still an innocent monkey, but his great size makes him a menace. Superman can not get near him because Titano possesses Kryptonite vision. The government decides to execute the super-ape. Lois is appalled, but leads Titano into a trap.

Lois fears for the monkey’s life and is able to get Titano to put on some lead glasses. This allows Superman to get close enough to hurl Titano into the past. Titano survives on prehistoric Earth with the dinosaurs.
