A dedicated scientist who, years ago, shortly before the planet Krypton exploded into fragments, “began to receive strange radio signals from space†and soon found himself communicating with the Kryptonian scientist Jor-El. By following Jar-El’s detailed instructions for the building of a “matter-radioâ€, "an apparatus [designed) to accomplish the instantaneous transmission of matter†through space, “as if by radioâ€, Dunn even made a journey to Krypton, where he befriended Jor-El and his family, performed an emergency operation to save the life of the infant Superman after he had been bitten by a venomous Kryptonian “fish-snake,†and discussed with the brilliant Kryptonian scientist Jor-El the impending doom of his planet.
By October 1961, Professor Dunn’s unscrupulous assistant, Gerald Greer, has stolen Dunn’s blueprints for the matter-radio and formed an alliance with gangster Paul Pratt to use the ingenious invention for crime by committing daring robberies in Metropolis and then making instantaneous matter-radio getaways to a distant West Coast city, but Superman apprehends Greer and Pratt and takes their matter-radio equipment to his Fortress of Solitude for safekeeping (Act No. 281: “The Man Who Saved Kal-El’s Life!â€).
The story is in many respects similar to Superman No, 77/1 (Jul/Aug 1952:“The Man Who Went to Krypton!â€).
