Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Although Lois Lane does not appear in this episode, there is still a "damsel in distress" in the form of Kate White (Mabel Albertson), the sister of "Daily Planet" editor Perry White (John Hamilton). When Kate disappears in Haiti, reporters Clark (George Reeves), and Jimmy (Jack Larson) inaugurate a search for the missing woman. It isn't long before Jimmy himself is captured by a gang of criminals who are using local voodoo superstitions as a smokescreen for their crimes. (Incidentally, the George Hamilton in this episode is not the movie star of the same name).
