In "Superman's Treasure Hoard," Superman’s sudden obsession with amassing a vast hoard of gold, diamonds, and pearls leaves Lois Lane stunned—especially when he seals it behind a steel door to lure a thief. With the cave’s location now exposed, he sets a clever trap for the crook who stole an experimental atomic cutting torch, turning his unexpected wealth into a test of cunning.

Now living in the Planeteers’ refrigerator, their new world is as strange as the one they left behind.
