The Planet reporters are being sent to what appears to be a deserted island. It is about to be obliterated by the Navy, which is testing out its firepower. Perry White wants a before and after array of photographs and Jimmy Olson is the guy with the camera. Thinking this is routine, they take about four steps and are confronted by a gang of pirates (all of whom look like they bought Halloween costumes at WalMart. They claim to be 300 years old. Also on the island are a couple of hoodlums with a group of attractive young women. They were trapped there when their plane went down. The pirates decide to kill Kent and the gang, but Clark must try to protect his true identity. Meanwhile, the Navy is ready to unleash a barrage. Time is running out. Superman goes to the commander and tells him there are pirates on the island (what if he had just told them there were a bunch of people on the island. The commander humors him and then says to his first mate, "I guess the pressure finally got to the poor guy." The final result is quite silly and contrived. I agree with those who say it was very poor final episode for this season.
