The Toyman seemed like a kind old toy maker that made children laugh. But when Lois and Clark go to write an article about him, they discover the Toyman was actually a genius thief! Toy soldiers armed with gas pellets send the downtown bank staff into a deep sleep. So busy is Superman in rescuing the bank inhabitants, that he has to let Toyman get away. The next day, Lois gets a letter from the Toyman himself, hinting at another crime she'd be remiss not to be present for. A small toy firetruck rolls down the street and crashes into an apartment complex, unleashing incendiaries that set the whole building ablaze! Firefighters respond to the alarm, while another toy truck, this one being ridden on by the Toyman himself, enters the scene. He hops on a tiny ladder equipped with pogo springs and leaps to a balcony high up. It was the suite belonging to a rich gem collector, all of which now fell into the Toyman's bag. Once again, Superman is too busy saving all the people trapped in the building to catch the fleeing Toyman. Lois doesn't get the big scoop this time, having been beaten out by Clark. Another chance comes to her, though, when she receives another message from the toy making madman. An armored truck carrying half a million dollars will head across East Bridge, if she wanted her next story she should be there. The authorities have all been alerted to the Toyman's threat, and send an armed escort with the truck. As it reaches the bridge, Lois Lane watches from a canoe down below. Shortly, a miniature version of the armored vehicle rolls past the guards. They are about to open fire when a voice from above halts them. Superman scoops the little toy up and covers it with his body just as it blows up. He had seen the explosives tucked inside with his x-ray vision. At that moment, another toy tuck comes rolling down from the opposite side of the bridge! The explosion makes the bridge collapse, sending the armored truck over into the water. Superman's able to save the guards and tie the support beams under the bridge together.
