Hey, kids! It's real important to buy U.S. Savings Stamps! Don't believe me? Just ask Superman! Oh, wait...Superman is busy saving Lois from kidnappers. Gee, I hope he saves Miss Lane in time tell to all us kids at Jimmy Olsen's old school all about U. S. Savings Stamps and how neat they are!
SPOILER ALERT! He does.
Phew!
Anyway, the whole gang is here: George Reeves, Noel Neille, Jack Larson, and John Hamilton. They're joined by Tristam Coffin as Principal Garwood and and Billy Nelson as the burglar/kidnapper Blinky. (Question of the day: How evil can a villain named Blink be? Discuss. this will count for ten percent of your final grade.)
This 18-minute short was co-produced by Superman, Inc. and the U. S. Department of the Treasury.e
This promotional film was never shown as part of the Adventures of Superman television show but still has the distinction of being the last episode filmed in black and white. It also happens to be the only relic of that show to be in the public domain.
Enjoy this campy piece of history.
