We won’t bury the lede, folks. It’s a weird one this time. This episode, Michael looks at the 15th storyline from the Superman radio serial. The Daily Planet’s star reporter, Clark Kent, flies to Central America at the request of an explorer and on the hunt for a hot story. What results is thievery, plunder, looting and more! And when Superman’s done with that, he finally gets around to accidentally saving the day! Well, kind of. Confused? Just wait ’til you hear it for yourself.
QUOTABLE:
“It won’t hurt you if you talk!”
