Superman: The Underground World

I thought I had seen all of the existing Superman cartoons from the 1940s, but the Internet Archive managed to surprise me once again.  In this episode, Lois, Clark and an explorer venture into a vast underground world, which they discover to be inhabited.  All I can say is, if Lois did not figure out that Clark was Superman after this episode, her deductive skills are highly questionable.  I mean, there was no one else around!  From Fleischer Studios in 1943, here is The Underground World.
