Synopsis:
The staff of the Daily Planet joins in on the production of a war movie. When they begin an attack on a small island in the Pacific, they are counter-attacked by Japanese troops left behind from World War II. Clark is shot in the melee, but Supergirl arrives to protect his identity by pretending to give him a blood transfusion. Superman eventually discovers the enemy troops are not Japanese, but aliens from Zhor. They attacked only because they believed the movie cast was attacking them. They breathe chlorine gas and have been stranded on Earth. Superman helps them repair their ship and return home.
