The New Adventures of Superman :: Episode IV-II

Show: The New Adventures of Superman
Air Date: October 1, 1966
Written by: J.W. Doctor

Superman
in
"The Deadly Icebergs"


Three mysterious men in arctic gear use powerful lasers to cut loose immense icebergs up in the North Pole. The criminals load each iceberg with explosives and electromagnets, and then set them free. At the same time, the Gigantic, first atomic-powered cruise liner, is making its maiden voyage to the Arctic Circle, and aboard it, Lois Lane and Clark Kent are among its many passengers.


The criminals send a fake S.O.S. to the Gigantic, forcing it to detour further north in response, and into direct collision with the explosive icebergs. Suspecting a trap, Clark Kent changes into Superman and heads towards the beacon of the distress call!


While the Man of Steel combs the frozen north, the Gigantic is pulled by the electromagnets closer and closer to the icebergs. Will Superman find the criminals and unravel their ransom plot before the Gigantic suffers the same fate the Titanic did?



Also featuring: Lois Lane (passenger of the Gigantic Cruise Liner).

The World of DC Comics: Arctic Circle. Presumably at the same ice fields as in "The Prehistoric Pterodactyls."
