Part II:"The Vigilantes' Vengeance"

Synopsis:
Superman attends a celebration for the hero Dyno-Man on the planet Sorrta. During a parade, Dyno-Man is killed in an explosion. Superman is immediately accused of causing the blast. He is taken into custody by Dramon, head of security, and fitted with a red sun energy belt that neutralizes his powers. Superman is then injected with a chemical that causes a fit of rage and a phony confession to the murder.

Superman's case is given to lawyer Rilora Dorc, who soon finds evidence that implicates Dramon in the frame job. Before she can act on the information, Superman is broken out of jail by vigilantes who want to kill him. Rilora is captured by Dramon and nearly executed too.

However, the Man of Steel is rescued by Dyno-Man who is not really dead. The two heroes team up to rescue Rilora. In an attempt to escape capture, Dramon is killed by the same method he intended to use on the lawyer. Dyno-Man then explains that he suspected Dramon's treachery and allowed Superman to be arrested, so the villain would reveal his ultimate motives of planetary dictatorship. With Dyno-Man back, Superman's name is cleared.
