Lois Lane is assigned to cover the circus. As the performers of the big top do their acts, everyone, including Lois, is having a great time. That is... until a monkey lets a giant ape loose from his cage. The big gorilla scares the crowds, and sends everyone scurrying into the streets. Lois sees a little girl trapped on the edge of the bleachers. As she tries to save the little girl, the giant ape comes menacingly towards them. Seeing the police cars heading for the circus, Clark Kent suspects that there's trouble on the midway. He quickly changes into Superman and heads to the circus, where he saves Lois and the young girl, and captures the giant ape.
