    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The whole Clark Kent/Lois Lane/Superman dynamic is altered in this series. In the Superman stories, Lois Lane is generally in love with Superman, and is most often uninterested in the nerdy Clark Kent. However, Sgt. Candy Cane is in love with Carter Nash, the nerdy chemist, and is pointedly uninterested in the powerful superhero Captain Nice.
    • Goofs
      Alice Ghostly plays Mrs. Nash, Carter's mother. In real life, she was only 4 years older than William Daniels, who plays Carter.
    • Quotes
      • Sheik Abdul: Sopar, you know what to do. If he gives you any trouble at all, reduce him to a memory! If he behaves himself, kill him!
    • Alternate versions
      The show was issued on DVD in Germany (first as a stand-alone, then double-packaged with Mr. Terrific (1967)), but the episodes run 10 minutes short of their original 24 minute running time, and there's no option for English audio.
