Synopsis for "Priceless"

Supergirl and Krypto are in deep trouble. After breaking the laws of Kyrus, the strictest planet, they have accumulated a hefty fine and must remain in a detention center until they are bailed out. To pay their fine, Superman is forced to the planet Dentari to recover a Calid crystal, which is worth a lot of money. Once he pierces through Dentari's force field, Superman finds a cave littered with crystal, but the exact crystal Superman must recover is found on the back of a small living creature, the eponymous Calid. He uses heat vision to remove the crystal from the creature's back, but suddenly, larger Calids attack Superman, for they do not take kindly to invaders.

Superman attempts to defend himself without causing severe harm to the Calids, but Supergirl and Krypto break into the cave and easily defeat the creatures. Supergirl had gotten tired of waiting for her cousin, so she decided to help him out, even if that meant escaping from the detention center.

The Els return to Kyrus, where the magistrate reveals the reason for which Supergirl was imprisoned. Apparently, she had disturbed the Kyrunian behemoths, normally peaceful animals, and caused them to go on a stampede that damaged a city and even incited a riot. Supergirl reveals to Superman that it was actually Krypto who instigated the behemoth's stampede and she is just taking the blame for him. The Kyrunian magistrate accepts the Calid crystal as payment, but Supergirl must now serve 48 Earth hours of community service for escaping custody, a task made harder by Krypto's disobedient behavior. Luckily, Superman is there to offer assistance.

Synopsis for "All the Time in the World"

Superman is having a busy day. First, he is suddenly awakened by the cries of baby Jon and when he tries having breakfast, he must attend a series of emergencies. He saves a bus that had fallen into a river, defeats an out-of-control robot created by Lexcorp and goes to the Daily Planet, just in time for a meeting with Perry. Lois, who is already there, informs Clark that she left Jon with Martha in Smallville. Clark wants to have lunch with Lois but is unable to, for jobs keep piling up for Superman.

At noon, Superman saves a building on fire and brings an old man suffering a heart attack to the hospital. Then, he saves a boy that had climbed a tower as a dare but had had fallen off. He chastises the boy and his friends for their reckless stunt and advises them to treat every second of their lives as a gift. He returns to the hospital to check on the man he saved, only to be informed by a doctor that the hospital was unable to track down the man's family and he will die soon. As a sign of solidarity, Superman offers to stay by the man's side during his final moments and the old man thanks him for giving him the chance to fly. As Superman exits the hospital, he listens to more emergencies and people in danger.

Once he finishes his duties, Superman flies to the Kent Farm and goes to the kitchen, where she finds a box of pizza. Lois did not have time to cook tonight. Clark takes a moment to watch his son sleep and then goes to bed with Lois, who knows that her husband had a busy day. He tries to get some sleep, only to be awakened by his son's crying.

Synopsis for "Out of the Ordinary"

Ellie Hollins, a Canadian reporter, complains about living in a part of the world where nothing exciting ever happens. Suddenly, the excitement she longs for arrives in the form of giant robots from outer space and Superman has arrived to stop them. Ellie is about to be stomped by one of the robots, but Superman saves her, and once the battle is over, she asks for an interview with him.

The interview happens in a diner, with customers distracted by the sight of Superman. Ellie observes that unusual day for the people of her town must be very common for Superman, who replies that he continues to be amazed by many things in life. She asks if Superman really is from outer space are true and Superman confirms them, but he also adds that he grew up on Earth. He even says that he lives a normal life when he is not wearing the cape. He has family, friends, a job and a home. People believe that Superman is a higher being who saves ordinary people, but in reality, he is just an ordinary person like Ellie.

Superman admits that he has a secret identity but cannot reveal it for obvious reasons. He is simply revealing that he has a secret identity because he wants Ellie to know that, for all the amazing things he has done, the most meaningful part of his life is completely ordinary. With the interview over, Superman clarifies that his ordinary life is the truest part of his life and Superman is the secret identity.

Synopsis for "Red-Letter Days"

At the Daily Planet, Lois is reviewing Clark's work until he gets a call from Batman and has to leave through the window in Lois' office. She puts his discarded clothes inside a cabinet but, unbeknowst to her, Clark's watch begins to beep with a warning that the Kents' wedding anniversary is tomorrow.

The next morning, at the Daily Planet, Lois observes Superman's activities from TV screens while she continues to manage her employees. She gets a call from Jon, who congratulates her for her wedding anniversary and asks for his father. Lois replies that she has not heard anything from him but they soon will. As the day comes to a close, Lois is left alone at the office until she is visited by Superman, who apologizes for missing the deadline. Lois, however, has received news that Metropolis is bidding to host the Olympic Games. This is the biggest excitement Lois has gotten all day and she wants to work on that story and Clark, who has not even taken off his uniform, offers to help her.

Clark and Lois spend all night gathering information and talking to sources until their story is ready to be published. Once Clark takes off his uniform and puts on his civillian clothes, he remembers that yesterday was their anniversary and he forgot to buy flowers for Lois, but she does not care about that. She is just happy that Clark returned home safe and that alone is a victory for them.

Notes

  • The "All the Time in the World" story takes place during the Rebirth era, as the Kents are still living in Hamilton County.
  • The "Red-Letter Days" story takes place some time between the Superman Red and Legion of Darkseid storylines, as Perry White is already Mayor of Metropolis.

Trivia

  • In the "Red-Letter Days" story, Guy Gardner and Kendra Saunders make a cameo on tv during the robot's attack. The headline also refers to the League as the "Justice Gang." These are obviously homages to the Justice Gang from the DCU continuity, which also features Guy and Kendra among their ranks.
