Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Directed by Dave Fleischer, brother of the legendary Max Fleischer (who serves as producer), this animated short film was the first cinematic adaptation of the classic comic book Superman. Long before George Reeves or Christopher Reeve donned the famous red cape, voice-artist Bud Collyer was Superman, providing the superhero's dialogue in dozens of shorts and television programs over the course of three decades. In this first adventure, Clark Kent must turn into his alter-ego Superman and save the people of Metropolis from certain doom at the hands of a maniacal scientist with a deadly energy cannon. Joan Alexander provides the voice of Lois Lane.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Superman. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Superman AKA The Mad Scientist is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 21 out of 22, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 10m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
