Somehow, reporters Lois Lane (Noel Neill) and Jimmy Olsen (Jack Larson)
have found out there's something seriously wrong with the salvage ship Golden
Vulture and they start a little investigation. But when they even as
much as hint at their suspicions, the captain of the ship, McBain (Peter
Whitney), who has been a perfect host so far, takes them captive.
Fortuantely though, Clark Kent (George Reeves) is Lois and Jimmy's best
friend, and he just happens to secretly be Superman ... and when he goes
investigating as well, he figures there are several things not right about
the Golden Vulture, first and foremost, if it's a salvage ship bringing
back treasures from the Caribbean, why are gold and diamonds loaded on
board at the harbour and not the other way round? And why is there a
goldsmith on board? Superman has soon figured out the whole story: The
Golden Vulture is actually run by a fence, Sanders (Murray Alper), who
uses the ship to turn stolen goods into historic treasures to sell them
for a much higher price. With the mystery solved, Superman has no problems
taking all the baddies captive, but not before he has to walk the plank as
Clark Kent.
Mediocre episode of Adventures of Superman, neither too
solid a crime drama like many episodes of especially season one, nor a
piece of utterly enjoyable camp, but also not as cheesy and childish like
other episodes of the series.
