“Super Manor!”

Superman is invited to pay a visit to hundreds of small communities during National Town Week. At one of these, the crowd clamors for him to come and live amongst them, but he declines, explaining how disruptive having him in close proximity would be. Nevertheless, they persist, so he chooses one spot - Mapleville. As predicted, Superman's presence causes major upheavals to all facets of rural community life, and the inhabitants ask him to leave.
