Superman vs. Japanese spies hijacking a new super-bomber. American industry builds a gigantic new bomber and Lois Lane stows away on the test flight; little does she suspect, Japanese spies are aboard to hijack the giant. Superman to the rescue? Artistry can go out the window when propaganda comes in the door. Here we have a plot that could be used in any setting. Because we recently were attacked by Japan and made to enter the war, the villains are the Japanese. They are portrayed with slanted eyes and big grins (of course, the must have been laughing at us through the whole war). Anyway, instead of fighting crazy scientists and extra-terrestrials, the Mand of Steel is faced with the yellow horde, smiling and attacking at will. We know who will get the better of this. One issue that would have to be dealt with, considering the world of these cartoons. If the U.S. had a weapon like Superman, would any force be able to attack anyone. Our boy is straight shooter could be the ultimate defensive weapon. Interesting. In WWII, America has developed a brand-new HUGE bomber plane. Lois Lane and Clark Kent go to cover the story when the plane is going on its first mission. Lois stows away on the plane before it takes off. There are also some Japanese saboteurs on board who have every intention of flying the bomber to Tokyo. Will Lois be able to warn Superman? What do you think?<br/><br/>Fast-moving, colorful cartoon. The animation is a little jerky but much better than anything we see today. The color and sound have been beautifully restored. Just two problems–the lousy music score and the racism (especially in the title). That aside this is pretty good. An 8.
