Billion Dollar Limited is another great Superman cartoon.
The film starts with an image of the front page of the Daily Planet, reporting the shipment of a billion dollars of gold to the US mint. A train is being loaded with hundreds of bars of gold, guarded by several armed police officers. Lois is off course on board the train, to report about it. As the last of the gold is loaded, a car a few hundred yards away turns on its lights, and the men inside are robbers. And they of course follow the train. Later, a few of the robbers board the train from the back, climb to the middle, and separate several cars carrying guards from the front, leaving them stranded. Two other robbers attack the locomotive, throwing the engineer and a guard overboard, but falling off themselves as well. Lois, hearing the commotion, climbs to the engine's cab and is immediately machine-gunned from the robber's car, keeping pace with the train to the side. Lois grabs the machine gun and returns fire, only to have the bullets bounce harmlessly off of the armored car. The train continues to speed down the track, completely out of Lois' control and continually followed by the robbers. And now it's up to Superman to save the day.
This is another great cartoon, and something different from the previous two. I love that these cartoons, each have a very cliche superhero challenge or task nowadays, like Superman fighting evil scientists, giant monsters, or natural disasters, but these plots were really impressive for they're time. In this one, the villains are very human, being simple robbers. That's different from the last two, but cool, and is also a very common superhero task or challenge. I really love that this cartoon has almost non-stop action, and there's so much going on. This is one of the most fast-past cartoons of this series. The highlight of this cartoon, is when the robbers blow up this bridge, which part of the track that the train drives through is on, then the train falls down, but then Superman grabs the front of it, and pulls it back up. It is also cool that we see Lois kick some ass in this cartoon, when she picks up this machine gun, and shoot at the robbers' car. That is pretty awesome when in most of the cartoons, she is just the basic damsel in distress.
In conclusion, this one is different from the last two, but great all the same. 9/10
