S1.E19 - "The Evil Three"
Another Lois free episode. This one is very similar in plot to "E6 - "Night of Terror", only it happens to Perry and Jimmy, instead of Lois.
Perry and Jimmy go fishing and end up at a hotel to stay the night. Perry's been there before, but this time the hotel is run down. Apparently the previous owner disappeared without a trace. Perry insists that they stay there, despite the current owner telling him that the Hotel is now haunted, run down, and without electricity. Perry senses a story. Jimmy's ready to high-tail it out of there. Perry contacts Clark via car-phone, and asks him to check out the previous owner's death and to get back in touch with him. Before they can reconnect, Jimmy sees a "ghost", and both Perry and Jimmy get captured by the new owner and the "ghost", who think they are there to steal the previous owners riches. The third evil one isn't really evil, more insane.
S1.E20 - "Riddle of the Chinese Jade"
Set in Chinatown, an old antique's store owner wants to donate a family heirloom to a museum. The finance of the old man's grand-daughter decides to steal the Jade statue and sell it to have enough money for them to get married. The man he hires to steal the statue is disreputible and double crosses him, when the grand-daughter has to be abuducted with the statue.
Not a bad episode, except that Henderson lets the finance go at the end. Nope, book 'em, Danno! IMO.
S1.E21 - "The Human Bomb"
A man makes a bet with a buddy of his that he can get Superman to do his bidding for 1/2 an hour. To accomplish this, the man straps a bomb to his chest and handcuffs himself to Lois Lane. Then he makes her stand out on the Daily Planet ledge with him. Superman agrees to sit in Clark's office for a half-hour and not bust some robbers the Bomber has hired to take something from a museum. Of course, Superman double crosses the Bomber using a silhouette.
I liked that the full cast was included in this episode, and wondering why this man would ever want to do such a thing to Superman, until the end.
