Synopsis

Lois and Jimmy interview a bookstore owner named Chilton Bone about an ancient medallion named the Talisman of Ola. Bone chases them off and uses the talisman to turn into Bonechill. When Lois, Jimmy, and Clark come back, Bonechill reanimates some ancient mummies to attack them. Bonechill escapes and attacks a group of teenagers. Superman manages to rescue them but Bonechill captures Lois, Jimmy, and Perry White. He wants to use them to distract Superman while he goes off to gain more power. Superman, however, rescues them and stops Bonechill by destroying the talisman.

Production notes

This was a "Superman Adventure" segment.

As part of the Superman 50th anniversary celebration, Ruby-Spears created a new animated Superman series. Each show featured an 18 minute "Superman Adventure" and a "Superman's Family Album" short.

The shows' music and styles were based on the recent Richard Donner/Richard Lester Superman live action films.
