The Perils of Superman

This was the penultimate episode of the Adventures of Superman television series. In it a gang of crooks, wearing lead masks so Superman can't use his X-ray vision to identify them, terrorize Metropolis. Knowing they can't physically harm Superman, the crooks strike at him through his closest friends. Which in the case means the staff at The Daily Planet.

The episode title is a call-out to The Perils of Pauline, an early cliffhanger film serial in which every chapter ended with the heroine being threatened by a different death trap. The Planet staff find themselves in similar predicaments: Lois Lane is tied to railroad tracks with a speeding train headed toward her; Jimmy Olsen is left hanging from a cliff ledge after leaping out of his car, which has had the steering wheel and brakes sabotaged; Perry White is tied to a log about to be sliced up in a lumber mill; and Clark Kent is lowered into a vat of acid.

Luckily, the crooks don't know that Clark is Superman. He emerges from his acid bath unscathed, and manages to save everyone else in the nick of time.

The Perils of Superman was directed by Superman actor George Reeves, who directed the last three episodes of the series. It's a stand-out episode of the later seasons, when the stories were tamed down - some say dumbed down - considerably for the target audience of children. There's actually some real peril and excitement involved, and the lead masks make the crooks appear menacing and vaguely grotesque. Certainly a step up from the usual gangsters and crooks that were Superman's adversaries most of the time.

Hayden used a connection with Bill Donovan to be sent to commando training in Scotland. Unfortunately, he broke an ankle and had to return to the US.

Once recovered, Donovan suggested Hayden join the Navy. Instead Hayden joined the Marines under the pseudonym John Hamilton. He would use that name throughout his military and OSS career. Once he completed his Marine training, he asked Bill Donovan for a transfer to the OSS. He served in Italy, Yugoslavia and the Adriatic Sea in a number of covert missions conducting recon missions and supplying weapons to the partisans.

"Great Caesar's Ghost! Don't I pay you lot enough to buy more than one set of clothes?"

The Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) television series had an extremely low budget, and generally two seasons' worth of episodes were shot all at once.

As an additional money-saving measure, all Daily Planet scenes for all episodes in a season were shot at the same time in bulk. That is why Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, and Inspector Henderson (if he happened to be visiting the offices) were always in the same outfit. Otherwise the changes in outfits would've driven the script supervisor (known as the script girl back then), who was the person responsible for continuity between shots, absolutely crazy.

It's only when the characters are away from the Daily Planet do you see them in different outfits. Except for Clark. He pretty much wore that same double-breasted suit through all 104 episodes.
