Superman (George Reeves) has just saved all of Metropolis when
preventing the local nuclear powerplant and research facility from
exploding - but unfortunately, he was exposed to massive radiation that
even makes him glow in the dark. Now that would not be too bad for his own
health because as a superhero, he's pretty much indestructible - but it
would contaminate everyone coming near him let alone touch him - and thus,
Superman has to go into exile, leading an idle life in a hut in the
mountains reading a good book or two, always hoping that the nuclear
powerplant's resident scientist (Joseph Forte) comes up with a cure to his
condition.
With Superman pretty much out of the picture, crook Ferdinand (Leon
Askin) figures it's the perfect time to hijack an airplane flying some
priceless crown jewels into Metropolis, and just to make sure Superman
doesn't interfere anyhow thinking there's no harm in contaminating a crook
or two, he takes Lois Lane (Noel Neill) hostage - and off the hijacked
plane flies into a stormy night ...
Superman hears the news about Lois Lane being kidnapped on the radio,
but can do nothing about it - until the resident scientist calls him with
a cure - a sudden electrical shock. Good thing then it's a stormy night,
so Superman can use lightning to take care of his condition and save Lois
all in one go.
Ok episode that might be a little light on the science-side of things,
but it contains enough suspense to keep one interested and a few campy
spots to entertain as well.
