In this adrenaline-fueled episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven take on The Wonder Drug Racket from Superman #5!

When respected citizen Morton Craig is arrested for theft, Clark Kent smells a story—and Superman uncovers a sinister scheme involving a mysterious wonder drug, crooked chemists, and gangland rivalries.

Superman leaps into action, following a trail of deception and danger that leads to a ruthless racketeer named Carlin. With a factory pumping out addictive drugs and rival gangs vying for control, chaos reigns in Metropolis. But leave it to Superman to wreck the operation from the inside out—literally—by barreling through industrial machinery in a way only the Man of Steel can manage!

From high-flying stunts to one-liner quips, this story showcases Superman’s unstoppable strength and clever tactics. With plenty of twists, rivalries, and a whole lot of smashing, it’s Golden Age action at its most thrilling. Tune in as Ed and Steeven break it all down, sharing their signature mix of insight, humor, and pure fan enthusiasm!
