"Superman Goes to Prison"

There's no rest for the weary reporter at The Daily Star, and Clark Kent is hot on the trail of a new story. An escaped convict (who may or may not be a little quick to rip off his shirt) asks the Star to run a story about the torture that he and the other convicts have faced at hands of Coreytown Prison's warden, one Superintendent Wyman. After an impressively eloquent explanation, we get down to some

hot shirtless whipping action!*

Superintendent Wyman reads about his prison's atrocities in the headlines and knows that the he

escaped convict, a Walter Crane, has ratted him out. Wyman heads to the offices of The Star and forces Clark

to sell out his source pretty damn quickly.

Wyman is somehow able to track down Crane and deposit him back in Coreytown Prison, but Superman, after a sweet third-

person self pep talk, heads to the prison to with a plan. Since his alter ego Clark is now viewed as a rat, Supes plans on snapping

some photos at Coreytown and expose Wyman for who he really is. What better way to do so than to take on a false identity, get

purposely thrown into Coreytown, and get all cocky and effeminate with Wyman in the hopes of provoking some serious

cruelty? Sounds like fun!

Supes plan seems to be working until Crane tries to escape and gets caught in a quagmire (giggidy).

Superman changes his plans, saves Crane, drowns a dog, and gives Wyman a taste of his own medicine.

Bad medicine.
