Synopsis:
Superman accidentally breaks the time barrier while flying through space and ends up on Krypton before it exploded. He is mistaken for an extra in a movie production which earns him a job. He later meets Jor-El and Lara who are just getting married. He befriends the newlyweds and becomes Jor-El’s assistant.

Superman then falls in love with Lyla Lerror, a movie starlet. He is cautious of getting involved with her since Krypton is doomed. Jor-El reaches that conclusion as well and decides to build a ship to reach Earth. Superman sees Jonathan and Martha Kent before they were married and even assists in catching a crook.

Jor-El’s space ark is built in the city of Kandor. However, the city and the ark are stolen by the space villain, Brainiac. Without the ark, Superman realizes he will stay on Krypton until its destruction. He agrees to wed Lyla after the completion of her latest film. As an extra on the film set, Superman is on board a prop rocket when a flame-beast breaks loose and powers the rocket’s engines. Superman is launched to Earth again where he regains his powers. He travels back to the present with only the memory of his home planet.
