STORYLINE – The Secret of Harpy Castle; The Shadow from the Grave

Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen and Percy Bratten (the son of the newspaper’s largest stockholder) are sent on an assignment to cover Castle Grimm, a historic structure that was physically transplanted from England.

Percy tags along boasting that he will expose Jimmy as a “phony man of action.” However, when they arrive, the local residents flee in absolute terror. While a frightened Percy tries to back out, Jimmy presses forward into the castle. Inside, they are menaced by the ghosts of three harpies that haunt the estate. When Superman arrives to intervene, he finds that his powers are completely useless against these supernatural beings.
