Synopsis:
Superman and Batman respond to mental reports that the other hero is in trouble. When they arrive at the location given in the report the heroes enter a maze where they face several physical and psychological attacks. After these attacks, the heroes crack and give up their secrets to their captors.

The captors are the real Superman and Batman. The failed heroes are really androids. The attacks were designed as a test to see if the androids were good enough to put into action. When the androids demonstrate their failure, the World's Finest team deactive them.
