ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN / "The Birthday Letter" - 1952

Here's a nice little episode about a crippled young girl who writes Superman asking him to take her to the fair for her birthday. Before he arrives at her house though, she is kidnapped by foreign counterfeiters who need information she was given by mistake. Jimmy Olsen is not even in this episode.

Lois reads the letter to Perry White from the young crippled girl asking for Superman to take her to the fair.

In the meantime, Kathy has received a phone call (wrong number) where someone gives her some mysterious information. She doesn't understand and hangs up.

The person, a crook, is gunned down in a drug store with her phone number still in hand.

The people the crook was supposed to call find out about the incident in the paper and are able to to get their hands on the note with the phone number.

So they have their helper Slugger dress up as Superman and he kidnaps Kathy after finding out where she lives. Her mom works during the day so it was an easy task.

The owner of the drug store shows up at the Daily Planet in search of the reward they're offering for information leading to Kathy's disappearance. Clark calls the FBI.

In the meantime, the woman tries to get information out of Kathy by giving her some toys, but Kathy can't remember the location of the place they're looking for.

Lois goes to Kathy's place and finds the two in her apartment, when she gets back to the Daily Planet she confirms that the FBI photo is the person she saw, a foreign counterfeiter.

Slugger is left with Kathy and they become fast friends.

She talks him into taking her home but the two crooks come home just in time to stop him.

After Kathy remembers the location the man told her, they tie Slugger up and head to the location where the counterfeit plates they're looking for are located. The police and Superman head out to the location.

Marcel and Marie show up looking for the plates.

And, there's a shootout with the other crooks.

Superman shows up just in the nick of time but Marie tosses the plates in a vat of acid.

Of course Superman simply grabs the plates and dries them off for Inspector Henderson.

The next day Supe shows up at Kathy's home, and takes her on the ride of her life...

She's the happiest little girl in the world, thanks to Superman.
