Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The staff of the "Daily Planet" investigates when several armored trucks are hijacked in Metropolis. It turns out that the thieves are being supplied with information concerning the truck's routes by a specially rigged ventriloquist's dummy. Stumbling on to vital evidence, cub reporter Jimmy Olsen (Jack Larson) is kidnapped a locked in safe. Good thing that his colleague Clark Kent (George Reeves), alias Superman, possesses the gift of X-Ray vision. Pierre Watkin, who previously played "Daily Planet" editor Perry White in two Superman movie serials, is here seen in a different role.
