A bespectacled milquetoast who imprisons Superman in a resilient room "made of tremendously thick rubber" and then climbs into a makeshift Superman costume—inflated with helium to create the impression of a muscular build and equipped with a motor-driven propeller to make possible the power of flight—to impersonate Superman as part of a humorously pathetic effort to win back his girlfriend Bertha, who has jilted him for being a weakling. Dribble's well-intentioned scheme goes awry, however, when the Turtle Baxter gang kidnaps Bertha in hopes of acquiring a hold over "Superman," but the real Superman escapes from his rubber prison in time to apprehend the Baxter gang and reunite Bertha and the grateful Dribble (Act No. 74, Jul 1944: "Courtship of Adelbert Dribble!").
