Synopsis:
Superboy learns from Lana Lang that her father has gone missing while on an expedition. Superboy flies to Africa where Mr. Lang was exploring. He discovers an alien ship that was full of beasts from another world. Mr. Lang and his expedition are hunting the dangerous creatures, but trying not to kill them. Superboy deduces that the creatures were sent to Earth as scouts for an invasion force. Working secretly, he defeats the creatures without killing them. The creatures return to their ship and leave Earth. The alien masters believe Earth's atmosphere is inhospitable and call off the invasion plans.
