| Synopsis |
Krypto frees Jimmy, and together they rescue Superman and defeat the Kryptonite Man, although Krypto is hurt. Jimmy takes him back to his place to recover. The kryptonite monkey is still on the loose, and confronts some police in the park, but swells into a huge gorilla. Krypto sees it and attacks, and Jimmy joins in as Mr. Action. Jimmy grows to giant size, and they wrestle, but as Jimmy is about to punch him out, he stops. He treats the gorilla kindly, and it returns to normal size, hugging Mr. Action. Superman arrives, and has the monkey taken to S.T.A.R. labs. Superman decides to leave Krypto with Jimmy for now. |
