Superman learns about the actress's behavior and decides to intervene. He intercepts her plane and scares her into performing again on an island in the Pacific. Gloria is inspired and puts on a good show. Then the Japanese attack. Superman helps to defeat the attackers. After the fighting is over Gloria elects to remain and provide entertainment for the troops despite offers for contracts back home.
