The Man of Screen Podcast Episode 54 – The Adventures of Superman: The Phantom Ring/The Jolly Roger

In episode 54 of The Man of Screen podcast, season of 4 of “The Adventures of Superman” will come to a close.

First, its a case thats baffling the police. Someone is committing burglaries all over Metropolis and no one can get a look at the guy. Is it because hes invisible? Clark Kent seems to think so, but Bill Henderson isnt buying it. This episode has it all, invisibility, some nice Superman action, and a homing pigeon.

Whats an “Adventures of Superman” episode without a homing pigeon?

Plus, Lois and Jimmy will get in the action as they try to solve the mystery of “The Phantom Ring”.

And then the season will end with perhaps the strangest group of pirates you ever saw. Theyve been stranded on an island for hundreds of years and clearly dont know how to be pirates. Fortunately, its all written down for them.

But theres also the case of the Navy. Theyre planning to shell an island during weapons tests and our heroes are to get before and after photos. They wont even have to give their lives for the Sunday Supplement.

So, bring your sea sickness pills as we suffer together during “The Jolly Roger”.

Next time: It will be time for something a little different as George Reeves will take on sitcom work as a guest star in the “I Love Lucy” episode, “Lucy and Superman”.
