Superman and the Mole Men
ON THE SCREEN...America's Favorite Hero!
Directed by Lee Sholem
Produced by Lippert Pictures
A earnest 1950s superhero adventure that uses alien contact and mob hysteria to explore tolerance and compassion in a small-town setting.
Reporters Clark Kent and Lois Lane arrive in the small town of Silsby to witness the drilling of the world's deepest oil well. The drill, however, has penetrated the underground home of a race of small, furry people who then come to the surface at night to look around. The fact that they glow in the dark scares the townfolk, who form a mob, led by the vicious Luke Benson, intent on killing the strange people. Only Superman has a chance to prevent this tragedy.
