Synopsis by Hal Erickson
An old prospector named Pop (Housely Stevenson) is overcome by coal gases and trapped in a mine. Courageous but foolhardy Lois Lane (Phyllis Coates) tries to go to the old man's rescue, only to be trapped as well. The only way that Superman (George Reeves) can save both Lois and Pop is to literally burrow through several layers of solid rock--which he does, courtesy of a special effect that was "state of the art" back in 1952!
