Superman - Electric Earthquake - Movie Review

A fanatical Native American scientist demands the return of Manhattan Island to his people or he will unleash artificially created earthquakes upon the city. Lois Lane investigates and is captured by our villan. Naturally, Superman saves the day.

A vindictive Native American scientist visits The Daily Planet's editorial offices to ask the paper to print a request for the city officials to return the city of Metropolis and its main borough, Manhattan, to his people. Mr. White and his staff refuse to print such a request and ask the scientist to leave. Angered, he tells them that their refusal to help him regain Metropolis for his people will only result in the destruction of the city. Perry White shrugs off the scientist's threats, seeing him as nothing more than a harmless kook.

But Clark Kent and Lois Lane believe that this man is very dangerous, and Lois manages to get herself captured yet again when she follows the scientist to his undersea lab, where he sets off his electronic devices. He creates a series of artificial electronic earthquakes with these devices. Superman flies down under the city's bay, destroys the electronic systems, saves Lois and captures the mad scientist. Later, after reading her banner headlines on the deck of the Metropolis Ferry, Clark gives Lois his approval of her latest scoop.

Superman - Electric Earthquake Trivia - Did You Know?

Launched in September 1941 with the release of the initial entry, Superman, the cartoons were produced by Max Fleischer.  The Fleischer studio was initially based in New York and was famous for its rambunctios, rough-and-ready presentation of characters like Betty Boop and Popeye. The studio had just relocated to an enlarged modern facility in Florida.  Joe Shuster drew the model sheets for Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and Superman.  The first cartoon was received to critical acclaim and was nominated for an Academy Award.
