Double Trouble

Since World War II had just been over for seven years, there were still Nazis around. In this case Jimmy Olsen, while hoping to get an interview with a French movie star, stumbles on a plot to steal some priceless radium. He tries to do a favor for a man (who is in drag) by delivering a box to some other evil men. He is taken as a threat and brought to the office of the head honcho. There he is detained in a secret room. Superman accumulates lots of frequent flyer miles traveling back and forth between Metropolis and Germany. The problem, always the case, is locating the wayward cub reporter. It's interesting how often Kent gets away with things that would be pretty easy to question if push came to shove. Inspector Henderson wants to know how he influenced something in Germany and Kent's reply is "Trade secret." His association with Superman is well known but the proximity should send up a lot of red flags. By the way, the guy who develops photos for Clark is Jimmy Dodd. He was the head of the Mouseketeers on the very popular "Mickey Mouse Club" a few years later.
