A passenger jet approaches Metropolis Airport, facing the possibility of a potential disaster. The pilot radios the control tower to inform them that their landing gear is stuck, but just then, the co-pilot notices something flying of in the distance, at first, they mistake it for a bird or a plane, but they soon realize it's actually Superman. Superman then brings the plane down to safety, but it takes all of the super strength he has just to do a task which ordinarily would be fairly simple for him. He can't help but notice he's getting weaker. After the incident, one of the Airport employees congratulates Superman telling him he did good job saving the plane. Superman thanks him, and he wonders what caused him to be weak temporarily.
