The story is a rough adaptation of the H. G. Wells novel The War of the Worlds, but is primarily based on the Superman mythology. Wells' story is transported from early 20th-century Britain to 1938 Metropolis where the Martian invasion is met with a Golden Age Superman, who is not blessed with the full range of powers he has in modern times.

“Perchance the time will come when we shall not be content to go back and forth upon a raft to some huge Homeric or Shakespearean Indiaman that lies upon the reef, but build a bark out of that wreck and others that are buried in the sands of this desolate island, and such new timber as may be required, in which to sail away to whole new worlds of light and life, where our friends are.”
