Synopsis:
Lois and Clark stumble upon a secret military depot. When Lois investigates, she is arrested for espionage. A group of real spies try to destroy the depoy, but Superman intervenes. The spies kill themselves and destroy their submarine to avoid capture.
Clark returns to the depot and arranges for Lois to be released. As he is given more information he spots more spies attempting to blow up the depot. Again he stops them as Superman, but he lets the leader, Derwing, escape.
Derwing is the leader of the Committee Against Militarism. The group’s goal is to prevent the U.S. from rearming for pacifistic reasons, but it secretly is in the hands of a foreign power. Superman records damaging statements from Derwing, exposing the spy to Senator Galsworthy and breaking up the ring.
