S1.E22 - "The Czar of the Underworld"This one is set in Hollywood, and is another episode without Lois.
Clark and Henderson go to Hollywood as guests of a movie studio, which is making a movie out of series of articles that Clark wrote about a case that Henderson solved. The man about whom the case involves, is still at large and trying to kill both men, studio heads, actors, etc., through-out the episode to make sure the film isn't made.
My favorite scene is when Perry calls Henderson and Clark up at the studio to chew them out for letting someone else scoop the story that an actor was shot on their movie, even though Perry finds out about it almost at the same time that the event occurs. Henderson, to get Perry to shut up, hangs up on him.
S1.E23 - "The Ghost Wolf"Another episode which utilizes the full cast (minus Henderson). Those, I must say, are the best ones.
Lois, Clark, and Jimmy are sent out to a lumber camp in Oregon to find out who is sabtoging the lumber that makes the pulp which the DP uses to print the newspaper. It's a fish-out-water tale, involving a Werewolf (the susposed suspect). We get our characteristic, Clark tells Lois to "stay" for her safety, and she's gets annoyed and marches off to do her own investigating. Needless to say, the wolf likes Lois and follows her around, so she's constantly running into it. They certainly are being "team players" on this story, even though Perry sent them together to cover it.
My favorite line is Lois saying to Perry, when he tells her she has less than an hour to catch her flight "But I haven't a thing to wear!"
Perry responds, "What woman ever did?"
S1.E24 - "The Crime Wave" This is by far the worst episode yet. Mainly because the first 10 minutes of the show is clearly clips from all the other episodes strung together to make it look like new footage. My kids and I had fun trying to guess which episodes the clips came from. Also, whenever Superman goes off to catch a criminal, those action scenes were also borrowed from other episodes. Without that one flaw, it wasn't that bad of a plot.
The plot is that there's a "crime wave" in Metropolis. Superman and a task force, headed by Henderson, Perry, and a leader of a citizen's coucil (a lawyer), vow to take down the top 10 wanted organized criminals creating havock in Metropolis. We keep getting glimpses of the unknown #1 Crime Boss. He's clearly someone we've met earlier in the episode. When it seems that Superman is closing in, the Crime Boss hires a scientist to trick Superman into a room, which can apparently kill the invulnerable man.
That part of the episode was nerve wracking enough, that my daughter thought that Superman was really dead. My reassurances that Superman wouldn't be dead fell on deaf ears. I think this episode would have been better if the Crime Boss had turned out to be Lex Luthor, but sadly not.
24 episodes in and not one mention of Superman's biggest foe.
