NIGHT OF THE OCTOPOD

Superman fights off a strange flying saucer that has a strange octopod device. The octopod threatens a rocket base near Niagara Falls. Throwing the Octopod into the waters near the base of the Falls, Superman destroys the un-manned spaceship that brought it to Earth. However an electric eel pacing by gives the Octopod the power that it needs to take flight again, sapping more power from a nearby power station. Superman comes to the rescue once again, short-circuiting the Octopod after a brief tussle.    

THE PRANKSTER

A pram is pushed into on-coming traffic... with only a doll within the pram. A money safe is dropped on Clark Kent as he is about to enter the Daily Planet... it's made out of paper. Clark Kent changes into Superman and berates the little fellow behind these pranks, who insists Superman can't arrest him as technically he hasn't done anything wrong that anyone can prove. So letting him go, Superman sets about playing his own pranks on the Prankster, irritating him so much that he frustratingly admits to committing the prankish crimes in front of Superman who gets it all done using a tape recorder
