Story[]
In Metropolis, an armored truck carrying precious jewels approaches Monument Circle, on it's way to the Metropolis Jewelry Exchange. But a sorcerer supervillain called the Warlock is waiting. He then says: "By Lucifer! This will shake them up!" He then aims his Sorcerers Ruby on the tip of his cane at the statue in the middle of Monument Circle. It comes to life and fires a cannon at the armored truck, causing it to fall over. The two guards step out of the truck wondering what happened. The statue is now magically alive and it rushes them and they begin opening fire with their rifles. The bullets bounce off of it, and it reaches down inside the armored truck.
Meanwhile, in his office at the Daily Planet, Clark Kent's super hearing detects the sound of the armored truck's alarm. He immediately leaves his office and heads to the supply room where he changes into Superman. He exits the Daily Planet through the window and flies off toward the armored truck. He then spots the Monument which Warlock brought to life, wondering who he is, and he sees the monument loading a motorcycle with the jewels. The Warlock, who was hiding in a manhole comes out and puts the monument back in place where it belongs, and it turns back into marble. Superman is baffled. Warlock then makes himself invisible and starts driving the motorcycle. From Superman's perspective, it would appear that the motorcycle is driving itself. He deduces that it must be black magic. He believes there's something fishy about this, so he lifts the motorcycle and flies over to Metropolis Bay and tosses him into the river, to let the fish take care of it. Out of the water emerges the Warlock, who is angry that Superman unknowingly tossed him into the river and thwarting his plans to steal the jewels, and he tells himself that the magic of his ruby, though it is tiring out has got to do the job.

Jimmy Olsen asks Perry White if its' possible that the Warlock is more powerful than Superman. Perry White then tells him if he is more powerful than Superman, Metropolis is in for some real trouble.
Meanwhile, at the Waterfront, the Warlock replenishes his old ruby with the new one. Warlock then uses his fully charge ruby to bring an Ocean Liner to life, and he sends it on a rampage through Metropolis, and it drives down Main Street, passing the Daily Planet.
At the Daily Planet, Perry White and Jimmy Olsen see the ocean liner driving down Main street.
