In this riveting episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dig into The Construction Scam from Superman #6 (1940), where corruption threatens the safety of Metropolis! When a department store collapses due to shoddy building materials, Clark Kent begins investigating a sinister conspiracy involving cut corners, shady contractors, and city officials on the take.

Superman dives headfirst into the chaos, exposing corrupt builders and uncovering a dangerous graft scheme surrounding the construction of a new stadium. But when disaster strikes during the stadium’s grand opening, Superman is faced with an impossible choice: save Lois Lane or rescue a group of children trapped in the rubble.

Packed with high-stakes drama, intense action, and even the first-ever use of Superman’s microscopic vision, this story is a thrilling showcase of the Man of Steel’s courage and quick thinking. Tune in as Ed and Steeven unpack every twist and turn of this Golden Age tale and celebrate another classic Superman adventure!
