Passengers arriving at the airport and the railway station are stranded because taxis and auto rickshaws are not plying. Even pharmacies selling essential life-saving medicines have downed their shutters fearing mob violence. Seeing innocent people being held to ransom, Superman swoops down from the skies his gaiters flying and takes masterful charge of the situation. He escorts milk delivery vans to their booths and hops into an auto rickshaw and drives like a madman to the railway station to rescue stranded passengers. He takes a crowbar and breaks down the shutters of closed shops and distributes essential commodities to the people. With his mission accomplished, he takes off without even waiting for a thank you with grateful people look heavenward and crying “Bravo Superman!”

Theme no.2 - The nation’s capital is rocked by a sensational daylight robbery in which Rs. 70 lacs are abstracted from the strong room of a nationalized bank on the basis of a single anonymous telephone call purportedly from the household of the country’s highest political officer. An urgent call goes out to Roy Ridgers who, accompanied by his faithful dog Triggers gallops after the robbers and runs them down to the earth and after extracting a false confession exonerating the political officer, he rides away into the sunset over the Yamuna river.

Theme no.3 - A prominent Indian politician breaks down and vows emotionally on the floor of the state legislature that he will take ‘sanyas’ and retreat into the forests if charges of corruption leveled against him are proved true. Eventually the charges are proved to the hilt and incredibly enough, he keeps to his word and goes into a primeval jungle where he meets Tarzan and the two go through many exciting adventures.

Theme no.4 - The country goes on a mad spending spree and squanders scarce public money hosting one sport and cultural extravaganza after the other and heads of government summits. Faced by the imminent possibility of economic collapse, the Indian Finance Minister flies to Disneyland on a desperate panhandling mission to meet Uncle Scrooge who drives a hard bargain and agrees in principle to extend a 6 billion dollar loan and deducts 2 billion dollars as advanced interest. The Beagle Boys, however, are keeping a lookout on Scrooge’s money bin and as the Indian Finance Minister comes out, they grab him and the sack containing the money.

Theme no.5 - The country is in turmoil because the Heir Apparent is rudely challenged by his ambitious sister-in-law and little nephew. A desperate call goes out to Lone Ranger who makes a sudden and dramatic appearance and after smashing a few skulls and knocking a few jaws, he restores order and rides away shouting “HI-Ho, (Smuggled) Silver Away!”
