Synopsis for Superman: "The Insect Terror!"
The city of Metropolis is plagued by swarms of destructive insects. It's not long afterwards a blackmail demand is issued by the Insect Master, who claims to be controlling the insects and unless a ransom is paid the city will continue to be overrun.
Finally, the city agrees to Insect Master's demands and the payment is sent. Intrepid reporter Lois Lane follows the delivery in hopes of catching the story, but is instead captured herself. Superman who has spent the last few days saving the citizens of Metropolis from the insect swarms learns of Lois's plan and follows suit.
It isn't long before he locates Insect Master's lair and saves Lois, with mere seconds to spare, as an army of insects is about to attack her. After rescuing Lois, Superman goes after Insect Master but is unable to capture him when a fire breaks out in his lab. With Insect Master presumed dead, Superman returns Lois Lane to Metropolis with the story of a lifetime, only to find that Clark Kent has beaten her to the punch.

Synopsis for Batman: "Man With the Camera Eyes"
A man called Oliver Hunt has the ability to memorize anything after a quick glance and he is approached by a gangster to get him as part of his criminal gang. Batman and Robin confronted the criminals on a few occasions and they tried to convince Hunt that he could use his ability for good instead of evil. However, Hunt didn't listen and after a quick glance of the Batplane, he memorized every little detail of the vehicle, allowing the criminals to create an exact duplicate and even deadlier version of the Batplane. Despite their clear advantage, Batman and Robin manage to overcome the odds and they capture the gang, but in the process, Hunt is seriously injured. Batman takes the man to a hospital, where he recovers and after learning the error of his ways, he decides to use his ability to help the people and he joins the U.S. Army as a secret spy.
