Superman manages to locate Kilink’s hideout on a remote island in Turkey where his fiancé and her father are being held behind bars. Meanwhile, Kilink’s scientists finally manufacture a lethal destructive canon-like weapon that can blast away mountains. Superman arrives there as an ordinary man but is captured by Kilink and locked up with his woman and his future dad-in-law. Will Superman ever managed to escape and defeat the evil Kilink? Sadly, the second half of this film was destroyed decades ago so we only have various stills left with a narration for the viewers. Still, it is really worth it to see this film.Read More »

Now Kilink wants revenge, and to then take over the world!Read More »
