Lois Lane: [to Terrorist Leader] You don't know teenage girls, do you? Rebellious, angry at the world, doesn't know her own strength? You're in deep trouble.

Superman: Nice outfit.::Lois Lane: Thanks. If I knew I was gonna be abducted, I might have skipped the heels.

Superman: Kara, what the hell were you trying to prove out there?::Supergirl: I was stopping bad guys. That's what we do, right?::Superman: Stop them, not scramble them.::Supergirl: Don't lecture me, Kal. I'm still older than you.::Superman: No. You may have left Krypton that way, but you're not anymore. The wormhole got me here faster.::Supergirl: That's not fair.::Superman: Tell it to Einstein.::Supergirl: Who?::Superman: Smart guy. Lived here on Earth. Do your homework.::Supergirl: Why don't you do yours?

Perry White: Why does Superman disappear for weeks like this? Maybe there's an angle in it. Does he wanna make sure the human race stays self-sufficient? Are there other worlds he protects?::Jimmy Olsen: You mean, like, he's cheating on us?::Perry White: Let's play with it. "The Aloofness of Superman." Lois, you rung with this.::Lois Lane: Must I?::Perry White: Who else am I gonna give it to? Kent? He's probably cheating on us too.

Alura: Please tell us more about Kara.::Superman: She's having some trouble adjusting to a new world... but she'll be all right.::Alura: And you? How did you adjust?::Superman: Well, for me it was easier. It's the only world I know. I have family and friends and...::Alura: Someone special.::Superman: Drive me nuts sometimes.::Zor-El: Heh. Nice to know that's the same everywhere.

Superman: This won't hold you forever. It just needs to hold you long enough.::Brainiac: You underestimate me. You'll die and your new world will be mine just like your old world is. You're meaningless compared to me. I am everything. You are nothing but fists.::[Superman punches him]::Superman: When I need to be.

Quotes:

Zod: [Non has just knocked out a human] If you kill them, they can't kneel.

Zod: This Daily Planet must be the seat of this world's government headquarters. We will go there. There is much kneeling to be done.

Superman: It's a good thing I always keep an extra Phantom Zone crystal in my cape.

Superman: [to Lois] I'll see you in the news.

[first lines]::Jor-El: Throughout recorded history the people of Krypton have existed in perfect harmony with one another, with our planet. But that precious balance would have been undermined if had General Zod, our own security minister, succeeded in his plan to start a new order. This new order, as he calls it, would have sown chaos throughout the planet. Turning our own good people of Krypton against the ruling council of elders, disposing of eons of diplomatic principles. If Zod's plan had worked, the people of Krypton would have not only accepted this tyranny, they would have begged for it. I now place the fate of these three in the hands of the ruling council. What say you?

Lois Lane: You even *taste* super.

Man on Street Corner: Look, up in the sky, it's a bird.::Woman on Street Corner: It's a plane.::Second Man on Street Corner: No it's... it's a guy in red underpants.

[last lines]::Lex Luthor: My god, Miss Teschmacher, I believe we've found Superman's one weakness.::Miss Teschmacher: Lex, baby, you're a genius.::Lex Luthor: Oh, I know. I know. [laughs]

Plot: Struggling private investigator Louis Simo treats his work more as a means to make a living than a want to do right by what few clients he has. Through connections with the investigation firm for which he used to work, Simo is hired by Helen Bessolo to investigate the death of her son, actor 'George Reeves (I)' (qv). Reeves was best known for his title role in _"Adventures of Superman" (1952)_ (qv), a role which he always despised, in part since it typecast him as a "cartoon", despite it bringing him a certain fame. His June 16, 1959 death by a single gunshot wound while in his bedroom in his Los Angeles home was ruled a suicide by the police, the death which occurred when the house was filled with people. Reeves' story is told in part in flashback as Simo, who is trying to make a name for himself with this case, talks to or tries to talk to some of the players involved, most specifically the wife of MGM General Manager 'E.J. Mannix' (qv), Toni Mannix, with who Reeves was having a relatively open and gift-lucrative affair (she bought him that house), and Reeves' fiancée at the time of his death, Lenore Lemmon, an aspiring actress who some felt didn't love Reeves (or visa versa). As Simo proceeds with his high-profile investigation, he learns that someone doesn't want him snooping around. Through the process, Simo evaluates his own professional and personal life, the latter which includes a somewhat strained relationship with his wife and son.

Detective Doug Johnson: The deceased woke up, joined his guests for approximately half an hour, returned to bed. No sign of forced entry or physical struggle. The Luger, found there, on the floor.

To impune the laws of physics?::Louis Simo: There are no prints on the gun. What, did he wipe it clean after putting that hole in his head?::Detective Doug Johnson: Fingerprints aren't automatic. Certain conditions have to be present.::Louis Simo: Did you question the people in the house?::Detective Doug Johnson: They all signed sworn statements.::Louis Simo: Forty-five minutes to call the cops, that's plenty of time to come up with some bogus story.

Plot: Columbia's 43rd serial finds Lex Luthor, secretly the Atom Man, blackmailing the city of Metropolis by threatening to destroy the entire community. Perry White, editor of "The Daily Planet", assigns Lois Lane, Jimmy Olson and Clark Kent/Superman to cover the story. Luthor invents a number of deadly devices to plague the city, including a disintegrating machine which can reduce people to their basic atoms and reassemble them in another place. But Superman manages to thwart each scheme. Since Kryptonite can rob Superman of his powers, Luthor decides to create a synthetic Kryptonite and putters about obtaining the necessary ingredients: plutonium, radium and the undefined 'etc.'(in order to keep viewers from trying this at home). Luthor places the Kryptonite at the launching of a ship, with Superman in attendance. He is exposed to the Kryptonite and passes out. Superman is taken off in an ambulance driven by Luthor's henchmen, and he is now under the control of Luthor. Superman is placed in a device, a lever is pulled, and the Man of Steel vanishes into "The Empty Doom." With eight chapters remaining, the odds are high he will return. Most of chapter 7 is a repeat of the origin story from chapter 1 of Columbia's first "Superman" serial, and this serial also finds a way to work in stock footage from Ken Maynard's 1936 "Avenging Waters," minus ol' Ken and his hoss Tarzan.
