While Clark and Lois are reviewing a circus, "Gigantic" the gorilla escapes and endangers Lois. In the resulting chaos, other dangerous animals escape also. A job for Superman? Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>
A SUPERMAN Cartoon.
The Circus has come to town and girl reporter Lois Lane has been assigned to cover it. It's all pretty routine, until Gigantic, the huge & terrifying ape, escapes and spreads TERROR ON THE MIDWAY. With the enraged simian menacing Lois, it looks like a job for Superman...
This was another in the series of excellent cartoons Max Fleischer produced for Paramount Studio. They feature great animation and taut, fast-moving plots. Meant to be shown in movie theaters, they are miles ahead of their Saturday Morning counterparts. Bud Collyer is the voice of Superman; Joan Alexander does the honors for Lois Lane. And isn't that the voice of Jack Popeye' Mercer as the first sideshow barker?
