Synopsis:

Clark Kent and Lois Lane take a Caribbean vacation on a cruise liner catering exclusively to journalists. Things go awry as various passengers turn up dead with strange tattooed markings over their body, with Clark Kent as the prime suspect. Eventually, he discovers the truth, that Jack Ryder hired two occultists to bring out an inner demon, instead unleashing a hellish version of the Creeper. When this creature is defeated, the victims wake up. Clark and Lois are convinced that Ryder and the Creeper are one and the same, but he does not seem to think this is true.
