Superman reads a letter from 12-year-old Tommy Delaney, who is troubled by a friend named Ballser -- a violent bully who tortures and kills animals. Afraid to speak up, Tommy watches Ballser's cruelty escalate until Superman intervenes to save a cat. Inspired by Superman's humility and kindness, Tommy stands up to Ballser, and the truth comes out: Ballser has been killing animals for months. Tommy and his friends confess, Ballser gets help, and the others, driven by a newfound understanding of what it means to be a hero, strive to help by volunteering at a local animal shelter.
