Synopsis by Hal Erickson
With no Lois Lane around, her "Daily Planet" colleagues Perry White (John Hamilton) and Jimmy Olsen (Jack Larson) are the "stars" of this episode. While on a fishing trip in the Louisana bayous, Perry and Jimmy stop over at a rundown hotel where they meet three extremely sinister-looking characters. After attempting to scare off their unwanted guests by pretending that the hotel is haunted, the despicable trio decides to murder Perry and Jimmy--and they might have gotten away with it, too, were it not for the timely arrival of Superman (George Reeves). This disturbingly violent episode pulls no punches, especially when an old lady is pushed downstairs in a wheelchair!
