Synopsis for "The Snake"
Superman investigates events in a mine owned by Bill Chantey. The miner 'Big Luke' is attacked in the mines by someone using a two-pronged pitchfork, Clark Kent sees he seems to have fang marks in his back. Later in the hospital a criminal dressed as a Snake tries to murder Big Luke. Superman stops him but he holds a nurse hostage, forcing Superman to leave. Later Superman sees the nurse bound and gagged in an elevator car. He breaks into the elevator and frees her, but finds the Snake escaped. Superman disguises himself with his muscular control and gets a job in the mine, where he earns the enmity of another miner, who tries attacking him from behind. However the Snake tries to kill Superman, but accidently kills the other miner. Lois Lane investigates and accidently finds a secret room filed with poisons, activated by pushing the wall. However she is captured by the Snake. He ties her to a mine cart, gags her, and pushes her off to die. However Superman sees and rescues Lois. They make a plan to capture the Snake. Lois accuses the disguised Superman of murdering the miner as he argued with him. He seemingly tries to escape the Police, but in the process rips Bill's shirt, revealing a snake tattoo. However Bill is able to take Lois hostage and escape in a car. He later changes cars, but Superman finds out the new number plate and sees the car near a zoo. Lois has been placed in a cage of snakes, however just before they reach her Superman intervenes. One of the snakes thrown from the cage bites Bill, who is taken to hospital. Superman finishes the tunnel, meaning the miners will be paid.
