      Despite almost being burnt to death, Lois still has enough strength to move. In real life, she would be too weak to move.

      Voices: Up in the sky, look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!

      Narrator: Faster than a streak of lightning! More powerful than the pounding surf! Mightier than a roaring hurricane! This amazing stranger from the planet Krypton, The Man of Steel: Superman! Possessing remarkable physical strength, Superman fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice, disguised as a mild-mannered newspaper reporter, Clark Kent.

    Superman #15
    Jungle Drums (1943)

    ** (out of 4)

    Lois is flying over the African jungle for some reason when she ends up on the ground with a native tribe. For some reason the Nazi party have taken over the tribe and of course Superman must come save the day. If you're looking for logic then you had better keep going because nothing in this short makes any sense. I could go even further by questioning why the Nazies appear to be wearing KKK outfits and I'm still not clear what their mission was suppose to have been. The animation is once again pretty good throughout but this, again, doesn't make up for the rather weak story.
