The story

Luthor, the Atom Man, invents several deadly devices to plague the city, including a disintegrating machine which can reduce people to their basic atoms and reassemble them in another place. Superman manages to thwart each scheme. Since Kryptonite can rob Superman of his powers, Luthor decides to create a synthetic Kryptonite and putters about obtaining the necessary ingredients: plutonium, radium, and the undefined 'etc.' Luthor places the Kryptonite at the launch of a ship, with Superman in attendance.
