Synopsis:
An island has been converted to resemble a Kryptonian city. Superman investigates the community run by Jonas Smith. Superman is invited in as a guest. He participates in a pageant, which reenacts Superman’s journey to Earth. Superman also puts on a show with his abilities.

The leader of the community, Jonas Smith is really a wanted criminal. He has Superman create diamonds out of coal and then sends them to his henchmen on the mainland. Superman stumbles onto the scheme when he sees Jonas’s fingerprints. He puts Jonas in jail and appoints another man to oversee the community of Kryptonopolis.
