Synopsis:
Luthor escapes from jail while Superman is away. He sets out to prove that Supergirl is only a robot. When he finds out that she is real, he creates a distraction designed to keep her away from a robbery.

Supergirl pursues Luthor, and he crashes his car. During the crash, Luthor is shot by a weapon of his own design. Supergirl searches the universe until she finds the means to bring Luthor back to life to fulfill his death to society. He is angry with her, but now the underworld has respect for their new foe, the Girl of Steel.
