On a quiet night in the Atlantic, a Freighter heads toward Metropolis Harbor. When suddenly, several giant insects flying through the night sky shine blinding lights down on the captain and the first mate. In then a man in the radio shack sends out an S.O.S. to Metropolis. And not long later Superman flies toward the scene. They blast arrow projectiles from their noses which bounce harmlessly off of the Man of Steel's invulnerable body. Superman grabs one of the creatures by the wings. But then, someone shouts out to Superman that the bugs are trying to sink the ship with their nose stingers. They puncture the hull of the ship, and water rushes in. Superman dives in the water, and using his super strength, he lifts the freighter out of the ocean and flies it toward the city.
