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!â€).
