Superman pulls out of his funk at the end of the show of course; his overwhelming desire to do good triumphs in the face of Freudian psychoanalysis. During a song called "Pow! Bam! Zonk!" Superman trounces his foes, returns as Metropolis's hero, and wins the love of Lois Lane--who has been drooling after him throughout the entire show...

Still, most chains are now testing the systems and are pleased with their performance. The number of installations is slowly growing, with 500 units expected to be in place by year's end and 1,000 by 1980. The surviving equipment-makers are still counting on huge sales eventually, but the wait in line is going to be long...
