Synopsis for "Panic In the Streets"
Superman takes on three warriors from the recently departed Warworld that are stealing scientific equipment. They are able to escape by endangering a group of scientists who Superman is forced to save. Later the Warworlders break into Emil Hamilton's lab and not only attack him but make off with some of his gear. Hamilton chases them into the sewers and meets up with Grub, someone Ham knew during his brief time in prison. Grub is joined by several escapees from the Cadmus Project who are living in the sewers because they can't find acceptance on the surface world. They track the Warworlders to another section of the sewers and discover that they were stealing the equipment to build a giant bomb.
One of the Warworlders initiates the countdown but the vibrations attract the attention of another Cadmus reject known as Cruiser. Cruiser, a giant whale looking creature, swallows the bomb and heads to the surface. This attracts Superman's attention and suddenly the Man of Steel is trying to stop Cruiser while the Warworlders attack him. Finally Superman defeats the Warworlders and flies Cruiser into space where he "harmlessly" explodes. Back on the ground Superman discusses the Cadmus escapees with Hamilton and Grub while the Warworlders plot to infiltrate the sewer society and take over.
