    • Trivia
      Rare appearance of a Daily Planet staffer other than the regulars. It's "Tom" who seems to be an office boy.
    • Goofs
      When alone in the assistant's room, Kent (Superman) searches all the drawers and shuffles the contents. This seems unnecessary for someone who has x-ray vision and only has to look.
