Synopsis:
Superman prepares for his date with Wonder Woman. Before meeting her, he checks up on Emil Hamilton who has constructed another Superman robot. The robot fails testing, but Hamilton successfully demonstrates a personal force field that he has invented.

After leaving Hamilton, Superman visits Gotham City for a meeting with Batman. The Man of Steel gave Batman a scrapbook for him to investigate. Although the detective was unable to determine who the scrapbook belonged to, he is able to use the book to deduce Superman's secret identity. Superman is shaken by this, but he recovers enough to admit that he knows Batman's secret too. The two agree to keep the secret's safe.

Superman then heads for Smallville. He stops a gunman and a truck fire along the way. When he arrives in town, he gives the scrapbook to Martha Kent for safekeeping only to learn that she is the owner of the book. He wonders how it was stolen and who sent it to him.

Finally Superman arrives at his rendez-vous with Wonder Woman. Upon meeting they share a kiss.
