The plot is as follows: In 1966, Jonathan and Martha Kent witness the crash-landing of a small spaceship near Smallville, Kansas. When they investigate the craft, they discover the baby Kal-El. The Kents decide to raise Kal-El as their own, naming him "Clark". 27 years later, Clark moves to Metropolis and gets a job at the Daily Planet. There, he is partnered with Lois Lane, who at first considers him little more than a pest. Eventually, however, the two fall in love and marry after a turbulent courtship.
A key turning-point in the series was the 1996 episode in which Lois and Clark were married, which was timed to coincide with the corresponding event in the comic books.
In the United Kingdom, the series was simply known as The New Adventures of Superman.
