Record number: 2955 Title: Adventures of Superman (1952) Medium: TV Series Actress: Noel Neill Description: Episode: "Clark Kent, Outlaw" (3.8) Clark concocts a scheme to infiltrate a gang of jewel thieves by allowing himself to be fired and publicly humilated from The Planet. The thieves are happy to recruit him, once they discover his knack for cracking safes. Lois and Jimmy follow him on a caper to try and turn him away from a life of crime and get captured. Clark convinces the crooks to drag them back to The Planet building, where the two reporters can be killed in a fiery accident, and the building torched at the same time. Lois and Jimmy are loosely bound back to back to chairs with twine (which encircles their bodies, but their hands aren't tied, leaving Lois able to maintain a tenacious grip on the strap of her purse with her white-gloved fingers) and loosely detective gagged with handkerchiefs while Clark sets the fire in a chair in Perry White's office. The camera shoots the pair from in front of Lois, which effectively diminishes Jimmy's presence, and enhances Lois' brief struggles as her captors escape. Good news for the good guys: it turns out that the chair is fireproof and Clark secretly triggered the fire alarm as he and the crook fled the building. This was the first of the show's episodes shot in color to contain a scene. |

Record number: 21016 Title: His Double Life (2016) aka Betrayed Medium: TV Movie Actress: Emmanuelle Vaugier Description: Scarlett (Cristine Prosperi) and her boyfriend are snooping around a house in an attempt to foil the plans of a computer hacker who has been living a double life. At 1hr 17-18mins the hacker arrives home and gets the jump on the boyfriend and Scarlett's mother Linda (Vaugier), offscreen. Scarlett goes downstairs to find them both sitting back-to-back on chairs, hands tied to the armrests with white rope, feet loosely tied together, and each gagged with two wide overlapping strips of duct tape. Linda is ungagged by her, but the hacker puts paid to the rescue by knocking out Scarlett with a punch. He then re-gags Linda onscreen with the tape, eliciting a couple of nice mmpphhs from her (while sounding like she has a stuffy nose). Frustratingly, she gets free offscreen after less than a minute. Times based on the Lifetime broadcast without commercials. |

| ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN "Superman in Exile" |

| Time: 1:30 AM - 2:00 AM eastern |
| Channel: Decades |
| Noel Neill is gagged. |

Record number: 2741 Title: Adventures of Superman (1952) Medium: TV Series Actress: Noel Neill Description: Episode: "Superman in Exile" (2.7) About halfway through, Lois is lured into the back seat of a car by a baddie posing as a press agent, and finds herself sitting between him and another henchman. When she realizes she's being kidnapped, she lets out a scream which the first baddie quickly muffles with his hand. His partner produces a white hankie and suggests, "Here, gag her." Once aboard an airplane, there's a short shot of her overgagged but not bound before the gag is removed. The NICK AT NITE ep (and I suspect the TVLAND one as well) shows only the briefest of shots here, as the gag is being taken off. |

By the time he's done his quick wardrobe change and returned from rescuing the scientist who created the title device in order to save Lois, he spots her from the air, standing, with her hands still tied, beside her captor-as a police officer writes him a ticket for driving the wrong way on a one-way street. |
