On the behalf of Professor Laverra (Hal Gerard), Lois Lane (Phyllis
Coates) bids for an ancient Inca scroll at an auction - but once she has
acquired the thing, the professor is already death, and some sinister
characters are after it, led by Pedro Mendoza (Leonard Penn). This of
course only makes Lois curious, so to find out what's really going on, she
travels to Peru with Jimmy Olesn (Jack Larson), only to there meet - her
colleague Clark Kent (George Reeves), who seems to pop up everywhere Lois
goes, and who is of course secretly Superman determined to keep her out of
trouble. And Lois soon gets into trouble too when she finds out the scroll
is actually part of a treasure map, and she even manages to track down the
treasure to a mine ... where she and Jimmy are overcome by Mendoza's men,
tied up and left to die in an explosion determined to blow up a wall
hiding the treasure. Of course, Superman arives just in time, saves his
friends, gets the baddies, and finds the treasure.
Mediocre episode, neither convincing enough as crime drama (as are the
best episodes of the seiries) nor campy enough as comicbook-come-to-life
(as are the most amusing episodes of the series).
