After big game hunter Alan Shotwell tracks down a radioactive boar, he realizes that the sport he loves has become boring. After a visit to his doctor, Shotwell embarks on a plan to become the prey, and Superman is the hunter. He plants a hidden bomb in Metropolis, then challenges the Man of Steel on an around the world manhunt. Superman eventually catches up to Shotwell who is dying from radiation exposure. Superman allows Shotwell to believe he has won. He then finds the bomb, which was not designed to be dangerous.
