Synopsis for the 1st Story

One of Brainiac's robots has escaped his master's arrest and flown to the Super-Satellite. There, it uses its technology to disguise itself as a Western Cowboy.

Meanwhile, at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman has modified his Phantom Zone projector to work in conjunction with the red sunlight chamber. This affects Jor-El's A.I. and resurrects him at the prime of his life, but only for 24 hours. Jor-El and Lara leave for a romantic getaway and Superman goes to visit his parents at Smallville, but the Phantom Zone portal remains open enough for General Zod, Ursa, Non and Lor-Zod to escape into the physical world. Zod enacts his plan to conquer Earth: start a hot dog franchise.

At the Kent Farm, Clark, Conner, Kara and Krypto have dinner with Jonathan and Martha and watch a newscast by Lois, who informs about Jor-El and Lara's presence and goodwill at Metropolis. Clark also watches Zod's new hot dog stand, which has become very popular, so he goes to investigate. Upon trying out one of Zod's hot dogs, Superman admits they have good taste but he will keep watching Zod.

With Superman out of the picture, Zod starts the next phase of his plan: salt the hot dogs with red Kryptonite, which causes the hot dogs to grow and mutate into monsters. Superman and Krypto fight these new foes while Jor-El and Lara confront Zod and Ursa. Lara and Ursa, old friends back at the Phantom Zone, act friendly with each other and share their family experience until Zod reminds Ursa of their evil plan. Jor-El's 24 hours are ended and he disappears before Lara's very eyes. Zod attempts to escape but Krypto catches him, while Superman invites the hot dog creatures to a supper with the Kents.

Superman attempts to take Zod back into the Phantom Zone, but Zod uses his red Kryptonite salt on the city of Kandor, enlarging the city to its original size. However, the city is now under Brainiac's control.
