- A mind-reading donkey. The entirety of “The Brainy Burro” is set around the idea that there is a donkey in Mexico that can read minds. What I adore about this series is that never once does someone try to dig into why or how this burro can read minds.
- Clark really is the worst. So Clark is almost instantly called out by the burro for a few things which would lead anyone with half a brain to deduce that he is Superman, but of course Lois and Jimmy in this series share a quarter of a brain, so they’re fine with his flimsy excuses.
- Perils! Many, including Jack Larson himself, consider “The Perils of Superman” to be among the best of the series. It is easy to see why that is, as it has a solid hook and more action than just about any of the early seasons offered.
- Inspector Henderson isn’t winning any police honors. So, Henderson knows that men in lead masks are threatening the lives of the Planet staff, but he refuses to round up the folks in iron masks until he knows, for sure, that all four have been kidnapped.
Jimmy, Lois, and Clark are vacationing in Mexico. A young man has a burro that can read minds. That's all you need to know. After nearly giving away Superman's identity he is commandeered by some bank robbers. Carmelita, the burro, is able to read the mind of the bank president and get the safe combination.
The lad has a rather unique pet - a burro named Carmelita who Pepe claims can read minds. The animal's power is tested when Clark is asked to think of how many times he's been in Mexico this year.
