I really could not fathom the premise of the knife collection, and the knife thefts. Even when it was explained it made no sense at all. It is like they reached the bottom of the barrel in their list of ideas for screenplays. Too bad! This is a very confused and convoluted story without any really satisfying conclusion and without enough tension. It's worth watching twice though, just to try to figure out what they were trying to do with the story line, but it is frustrating. Superman and Clark Kent hardly get a chance to shine in this one. After watching it twice I still can't give you a good plot outline that would make you want to see it. It's certainly one of the weaker episodes of the series, unfortunately.
I am sorry to have to compare it with the excellence of the many episodes that remained memorable to me more than 50 years after I saw them as a child. But maybe that alone proves that this one does not meet the standards they had in the beginning.
