The story begins when the narrator tells of an "Arctic giant" found frozen in perfect condition in Siberia. The monster was sent to the Museum of Natural History, where it is stored frozen with the help of special refrigeration equipment. Next we see people looking at the giant monster in the museum.
Lois Lane goes to talk about the monster, because if the ice had thawed, the monster would still be alive. As she leaves the Daley Plenet building, Clark asks if she wants him to come with her. She refuses.
When Lois gets to the museum, an accident occurs. The ice around the monster begins to thaw. The monster comes to life and begins to destroy everything around. Superman rush to the rescue.
