Inventor Horatio Hinkel (Lucien Littlefield) has invented a robot to stop crimes - but when caught on a crime scene, he and his robot are arrested for a jewel theft (they of course didn't commit). Then Chopper (Russell Johnson and his gang somehow get their hands on both the inventor and the robot, plus reporter Lois Lane (Phyllis Coates), and now it's up to Clark Kent/Superman to track down the robot plus company - and he's arriving at the crooks' hideout just in time, as they already want to use the robot to kill Hinkel.

A camp-as-camp-can episode: The robot simply looks hilarious in a comicbook kind of way, and the story around the robot is of course silly ... but enjoyably so, this is actually much fun, if in a childish sort of way.
