1. Faster
than a speeding bullet.
Copy !req
2. More powerful than a locomotive.
Copy !req
3. Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.
Copy !req
4. Look! Up in the
sky! It's a bird!
Copy !req
5. It's a plane!
It's Superman!
Copy !req
6. Yes, it's Superman,
strange visitor from another planet
Copy !req
7. who came to Earth
with powers and abilities
Copy !req
8. far beyond those of mortal men.
Copy !req
9. Superman, who can change
the course of mighty rivers,
Copy !req
10. bend steel in his bare hands,
Copy !req
11. and who, disguised
as Clark Kent,
Copy !req
12. mild-mannered reporter for a
great metropolitan newspaper,
Copy !req
13. fights a never-ending battle
Copy !req
14. for truth, justice and
the American way.
Copy !req
15. And now, another
exciting episode
Copy !req
16. in the Adventures of Superman!
Copy !req
17. Hello?
Copy !req
18. Mr. Kent, this is Mrs. Olsen,
Copy !req
19. Jimmy's mother.
Copy !req
20. Oh, yes, Mrs. Olsen.
Copy !req
21. Something the matter?
Copy !req
22. What time is it?
Copy !req
23. It's past one in the morning
Copy !req
24. and Jimmy's not home yet.
Copy !req
25. Hmm?
Copy !req
26. Jimmy's not home?
Copy !req
27. Well, no, there's
nothing special going on
Copy !req
28. at the paper tonight.
Copy !req
29. When did you hear from him last?
Copy !req
30. He called me from
the office about 5:00.
Copy !req
31. You know it only
takes five or 10 minutes
Copy !req
32. from downtown to here.
Copy !req
33. Would he have
stopped off any place?
Copy !req
34. The only place that
he could have stopped
Copy !req
35. is Jerry's Diner at the corner.
Copy !req
36. Did you call the diner?
Copy !req
37. Yes. It's closed.
Copy !req
38. I'm terribly worried, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
39. Jimmy's never done
anything like this before.
Copy !req
40. Now, don't you
worry, Mrs. Olsen.
Copy !req
41. I'm sure everything's
going to be all right.
Copy !req
42. Chances are he ran into a
fire or an accident or something.
Copy !req
43. He's just trying to
be a good reporter.
Copy !req
44. But I'll check around
and I'll call you later.
Copy !req
45. Oh, thank you,
Mr. Kent. Goodbye.
Copy !req
46. Goodbye.
Copy !req
47. You will not answer the
phone if it rings again.
Copy !req
48. Now, where's the editor's file?
Copy !req
49. The what?
Copy !req
50. The editor's filing cabinet!
Copy !req
51. Oh. Over there.
Copy !req
52. Good. That's all now.
Copy !req
53. You go. Understand?
Copy !req
54. Home.
Copy !req
55. I go home.
Copy !req
56. First I go. Then you go.
Copy !req
57. I go home.
Copy !req
58. Jim, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
59. Jim?
Copy !req
60. What's the matter with you, boy?
Copy !req
61. Don't you know me?
Copy !req
62. I... No, I...
Copy !req
63. Jim! Jim, wake up!
Copy !req
64. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
65. Jim, what are you doing in here
Copy !req
66. at this time of night?
Copy !req
67. I don't know.
Copy !req
68. Is this the chief's office?
Copy !req
69. Of course it is.
Copy !req
70. You mean to tell me
Copy !req
71. you don't know how late it is
Copy !req
72. or how you got in here?
Copy !req
73. The last thing I remember,
I went to Jerry's Diner.
Copy !req
74. Jerry's Diner? Yeah.
Copy !req
75. Some guy came up and
sat next to me at the counter.
Copy !req
76. I don't remember any more.
Copy !req
77. How'd the chief's
private file get open?
Copy !req
78. Gosh, I don't know.
Copy !req
79. Maybe Mr. White
forgot to lock it.
Copy !req
80. No, he didn't forget to lock it.
Copy !req
81. It's been jimmied.
Copy !req
82. There's a folder missing.
Copy !req
83. Now think.
Copy !req
84. Who jimmied this cabinet?
Copy !req
85. I don't know! I tell you, I
can't remember, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
86. I hope you don't think I did it.
Copy !req
87. No, no. Of course it wasn't you.
Copy !req
88. You know what folder's missing?
Copy !req
89. No, sir.
Copy !req
90. The file on Superman.
Copy !req
91. Superman?
Copy !req
92. Golly.
Copy !req
93. You'd better go on home, Jimmy.
Copy !req
94. Your mother's worried about you.
Copy !req
95. I'm going over to
the Newspaper Club
Copy !req
96. and tell the chief.
Copy !req
97. Come on.
Copy !req
98. Herman!
Copy !req
99. Ja?
Copy !req
100. Take this up to room 322
Copy !req
101. and don't fall
asleep on the way.
Copy !req
102. Mr. White's waiting.
Copy !req
103. Ja. Mr. White. 322.
Copy !req
104. Hup! Give that to us.
Copy !req
105. What is this, the
Explorer's Club?
Copy !req
106. A man could starve to death here
Copy !req
107. waiting for a
sandwich and coffee.
Copy !req
108. Come in!
Copy !req
109. Okay, it's here.
Copy !req
110. Good evening. Mr. White?
Copy !req
111. Hello. Who are you? I
never saw you before.
Copy !req
112. Josef, sir. The substitute
waiter. Herman is ill tonight.
Copy !req
113. Well, don't just stand there.
Put it down! Put it down!
Copy !req
114. Sugar, sir?
Copy !req
115. No sugar.
Copy !req
116. Just give me the
coffee before it freezes.
Copy !req
117. I said no sugar!
Copy !req
118. What is this?
Copy !req
119. Nothing, sir. Just black coffee.
Copy !req
120. Ca...
Call a... Call a doctor.
Copy !req
121. Sit down.
Copy !req
122. Yes.
Copy !req
123. Certainly.
Copy !req
124. Mr. White, do you
recognize this?
Copy !req
125. Yes.
Copy !req
126. It's my office file on Superman.
Copy !req
127. Mr. White, who is he?
Copy !req
128. What? Who is he?
Copy !req
129. Superman.
Copy !req
130. I have determined
Copy !req
131. he always figures in
your newspaper stories.
Copy !req
132. Reports on Superman's activities
Copy !req
133. invariably appear
first in the Daily Planet.
Copy !req
134. Yes.
Copy !req
135. Then someone at the Planet
Copy !req
136. must know how to contact him.
Copy !req
137. No one does.
Copy !req
138. No one.
Copy !req
139. You are the editor of the Planet
Copy !req
140. and you don't know?
Copy !req
141. Why are you trying
to make me think
Copy !req
142. when I can't think?
Copy !req
143. Why do you want to know?
Copy !req
144. Because I have
work for Superman.
Copy !req
145. I must find him.
Copy !req
146. Go to the door. Send
whoever it is away.
Copy !req
147. Yes.
Copy !req
148. Mr. White.
Copy !req
149. What's going on here?
Copy !req
150. It's Herman.
Copy !req
151. He has been badly injured.
Copy !req
152. Call a doctor.
Copy !req
153. Chief, what is it?
What happened?
Copy !req
154. I don't know.
Copy !req
155. Chief, it's me. Clark.
Copy !req
156. Who?
Copy !req
157. Clark Kent.
Copy !req
158. Don't you know me?
Copy !req
159. No. No.
Copy !req
160. Chief, wake up!
Copy !req
161. Kent. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
162. It's an emergency.
Get him here right away.
Copy !req
163. What's
that file doing here?
Copy !req
164. I don't know.
Copy !req
165. The last thing I remember
Copy !req
166. was that new waiter coming in.
Copy !req
167. Yes, right away.
Copy !req
168. Get me police
headquarters, please.
Copy !req
169. Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
170. You don't remember anything
Copy !req
171. after that fake waiter
gave you the coffee?
Copy !req
172. Nothing. I've told
you five times.
Copy !req
173. I'll get it.
Copy !req
174. Clark Kent speaking.
Copy !req
175. Oh, yes, Fred. Did you get it?
Copy !req
176. Oh, you did.
Copy !req
177. What is it?
Copy !req
178. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
179. Sure. I'll tell
Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
180. Thanks, Fred.
Copy !req
181. That was the lab.
Copy !req
182. The analysis of the
coffee left in the chief's cup
Copy !req
183. shows a powerful
amytal compound.
Copy !req
184. Amytal?
Copy !req
185. That's the basis
of the truth drug
Copy !req
186. they're using in
European prisons.
Copy !req
187. Fred King says this is a new
and more powerful compound.
Copy !req
188. The lab's never
seen anything like it.
Copy !req
189. They're trying to
break it down now.
Copy !req
190. I remember now.
Copy !req
191. We had a confidential
report on this stuff
Copy !req
192. from overseas intelligence.
Copy !req
193. You know what it does?
Copy !req
194. Invades the brain centers,
Copy !req
195. paralyzes the will.
Copy !req
196. You're telling me. I
was the guinea pig!
Copy !req
197. The question is, what are
you going to do about it?
Copy !req
198. What about that
file on Superman?
Copy !req
199. Why did they steal it?
Why did they bring it here?
Copy !req
200. Obviously someone wants
to find out about Superman.
Copy !req
201. From me? What
would I know about it?
Copy !req
202. Well, chief, a lot of people
Copy !req
203. think that Superman
works for the Planet.
Copy !req
204. You're the editor.
Copy !req
205. Say, maybe they're
smarter than we think.
Copy !req
206. Maybe you're Superman!
Copy !req
207. Me in that outfit?
Copy !req
208. Now look here, Kent...
Copy !req
209. Skip it. I've got a hunch.
Copy !req
210. Like you said, Kent,
Copy !req
211. I think they're
trying to find out
Copy !req
212. something about Superman.
Copy !req
213. They started on Mr. White
Copy !req
214. and the Olsen kid.
Copy !req
215. But look, they've circled
Copy !req
216. Miss Lane's name and
yours here and here.
Copy !req
217. Kent, I think you're
the next man up.
Copy !req
218. Could be.
Copy !req
219. Don't worry, son.
Copy !req
220. If they're up to
something really big,
Copy !req
221. they don't want you,
they want Superman.
Copy !req
222. Six of one, a half
a dozen the other.
Copy !req
223. I'm gonna put a tail on
everyone at the Planet
Copy !req
224. who's ever seen Superman.
Copy !req
225. That's a good idea.
Copy !req
226. I can't afford having my staff
Copy !req
227. fed truth drugs.
Copy !req
228. They go around in a daze
enough of the time as it is.
Copy !req
229. Don't put a tail
on me, inspector.
Copy !req
230. Why not?
Copy !req
231. Because it might scare them off.
Copy !req
232. I want to meet these
characters, get close to them.
Copy !req
233. They could be rough boys, Kent.
Copy !req
234. How close are you figuring?
Copy !req
235. Just as close as I can get.
Copy !req
236. I might even quit the Planet,
Copy !req
237. try and get a job
working for them.
Copy !req
238. You can't quit the Planet.
Copy !req
239. You can always fire
me, can't you, chief?
Copy !req
240. Fire you?
Copy !req
241. You again?
Copy !req
242. Haven't you got a job yet?
Copy !req
243. No. No paper in
town will hire me.
Copy !req
244. Hello, Sam.
Copy !req
245. Hi.
Copy !req
246. Um, how's the chance
Copy !req
247. on a cup of coffee and
a couple of doughnuts?
Copy !req
248. Can you pay for them?
Copy !req
249. Why, sure, I must have
a quarter somewhere.
Copy !req
250. You're into me for
nearly 2 bucks now.
Copy !req
251. If you want coffee, you'll
have to have the cash.
Copy !req
252. Give the man some coffee.
Copy !req
253. Give me some too.
Copy !req
254. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
255. Oh, that's perfectly
all right, my friend.
Copy !req
256. Plenty more money
where this come from.
Copy !req
257. You, uh, wouldn't be looking
Copy !req
258. for a place to go
to work, would you?
Copy !req
259. Work? I sure would.
Copy !req
260. Hey, come here.
Copy !req
261. I can't talk to you,
kid. I'm not allowed.
Copy !req
262. Look, you've been tailing
me for weeks for nothing.
Copy !req
263. See that big guy over there?
Copy !req
264. Yeah.
Copy !req
265. He's the one that doped my milk.
Copy !req
266. Watch him. He's trying to slip
something in Mr. Kent's coffee.
Copy !req
267. Excuse me.
Copy !req
268. See? See what he did? Grab him!
Copy !req
269. Hey, you!
Copy !req
270. Oh!
Copy !req
271. Where are you hit?
Copy !req
272. In the leg.
Copy !req
273. Jimmy, take care of him!
Copy !req
274. Come on! Run!
Copy !req
275. I can't. He got me in the back.
Copy !req
276. Well, I'll help you. Where to?
Copy !req
277. Twenty-six Mason Street.
Copy !req
278. Come on.
Copy !req
279. Hello, Planet.
Copy !req
280. Give me the City Room.
Miss Lois Lane, please.
Copy !req
281. Easy, now.
Copy !req
282. I feel the bullet.
Copy !req
283. Never mind, doctor.
Copy !req
284. It's too late.
Copy !req
285. How is he, doctor?
Copy !req
286. Dead.
Copy !req
287. Oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
288. No need to be.
Copy !req
289. He did his job in
bringing you to my house.
Copy !req
290. Me, doctor? Why?
Copy !req
291. We shall see.
Copy !req
292. We shall talk a little while,
Copy !req
293. and we shall see.
Copy !req
294. But forgive me. You've
had a difficult time.
Copy !req
295. Would you like a sandwich?
Copy !req
296. I surely would.
Copy !req
297. If you don't dislike to
eat a dead man's lunch,
Copy !req
298. it was ready here.
Copy !req
299. Would you like beer or wine?
Copy !req
300. Neither one, thank you.
Copy !req
301. If you happen to have
some milk or ginger ale...
Copy !req
302. Ginger ale. Certainly.
Copy !req
303. Before my friend died,
Copy !req
304. he said perhaps you might
be on the lookout for a position,
Copy !req
305. Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
306. I surely am.
Copy !req
307. To our meeting.
Copy !req
308. May it bring both
of us good fortune.
Copy !req
309. Sit down, Kent.
Copy !req
310. Yes, doctor.
Copy !req
311. Finish your ginger ale, Kent.
Copy !req
312. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
313. Since you would
like to work for me,
Copy !req
314. perhaps you would begin
Copy !req
315. by getting rid of the
body in the next room.
Copy !req
316. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
317. I dislike dead bodies
around the house.
Copy !req
318. They're so untidy.
Copy !req
319. At the back door
is a small truck.
Copy !req
320. Take the body to
the river and dump it.
Copy !req
321. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
322. Then come straight back here.
Copy !req
323. Speak to no one.
Copy !req
324. To no one, sir.
Copy !req
325. Your mind is now a blank, Kent,
Copy !req
326. subject to my will.
Copy !req
327. On your way in the truck,
Copy !req
328. think of every time you
have seen Superman,
Copy !req
329. every detail about him.
Copy !req
330. You know a great deal about
Superman, don't you, Kent?
Copy !req
331. A great deal.
Copy !req
332. Good.
Copy !req
333. We shall have a nice long
talk when you come back, Kent.
Copy !req
334. Where is he, Jim?
Copy !req
335. House number 26. He
went in with a big guy.
Copy !req
336. You mean the one who
doped you the other night?
Copy !req
337. Yeah. Good heavens!
Copy !req
338. Hey, wait, Miss Lane.
Copy !req
339. Where's the tail Inspector
Henderson put on you?
Copy !req
340. I lost him. Now,
don't worry, Jim.
Copy !req
341. You stand guard right here.
Copy !req
342. If I'm not out of that
house in 10 minutes,
Copy !req
343. call Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
344. You're not going in there alone.
Copy !req
345. Remember, Jim, I'm
a newspaperwoman.
Copy !req
346. And I won't be
alone. Clark's in there.
Copy !req
347. But most important of all
Copy !req
348. this maybe the
break on the story.
Copy !req
349. So you are Lois Lane
of the Daily Planet.
Copy !req
350. Perhaps I should say the
rather celebrated Lois Lane.
Copy !req
351. Save it. Where's Clark Kent?
Copy !req
352. Who, Miss Lane?
Copy !req
353. Clark Kent.
Copy !req
354. I suppose you've
never heard of him.
Copy !req
355. I am afraid not,
my dear young lady.
Copy !req
356. But forgive me. Perhaps I should
have offered you some coffee.
Copy !req
357. Let's drop the bedside manner
Copy !req
358. and the double talk, doctor.
Copy !req
359. What do you say?
Copy !req
360. I happen to know Clark Kent
Copy !req
361. came in here a half an hour ago.
Copy !req
362. There's a man from
the Planet outside
Copy !req
363. watching the house.
Copy !req
364. A reporter watching
my humble house?
Copy !req
365. Why?
Copy !req
366. Because we think
you might be behind
Copy !req
367. something that would
make interesting copy,
Copy !req
368. such as sodium
amytal truth serum.
Copy !req
369. Had enough?
Copy !req
370. All right.
Copy !req
371. Mr. Kent was here.
Copy !req
372. But just before you knocked,
Copy !req
373. he went with my
associate on an errand.
Copy !req
374. He's coming straight back.
Copy !req
375. Won't you sit down
and have some coffee
Copy !req
376. while you're waiting, Miss Lane.
Copy !req
377. It's hot now.
Copy !req
378. So are you, doctor.
Copy !req
379. And I want to ask
you a few questions.
Copy !req
380. Thanks, I will have coffee.
Copy !req
381. But I'll pour.
Copy !req
382. Oh, please, don't bother.
Copy !req
383. No bother.
Copy !req
384. A woman's privilege.
Copy !req
385. Charming picture.
Copy !req
386. Oh, dear, what's that?
Copy !req
387. It's blood!
Copy !req
388. No, Miss Lane, it's
not Mr. Kent's blood.
Copy !req
389. Unfortunately, my
associate was wounded.
Copy !req
390. So I heard.
Copy !req
391. And where did Clark take him?
Copy !req
392. To his rest, I hope, poor chap.
Copy !req
393. He was dead, Miss Lane.
Copy !req
394. Quite dead.
Copy !req
395. Oh...
Copy !req
396. Never mind.
Copy !req
397. It'll wash out the blood.
Copy !req
398. Sit down in that
chair, Miss Lane.
Copy !req
399. Yes.
Copy !req
400. Now I'll ask the questions.
Copy !req
401. Who is Superman?
Copy !req
402. Think! You must
have some clue to him.
Copy !req
403. No.
Copy !req
404. None.
Copy !req
405. Could it be that he hides
behind the darkest disguise of all?
Copy !req
406. Could it be that he is a woman?
Copy !req
407. Superman a woman?
Copy !req
408. Me?
Copy !req
409. Oh, no, Doctor Ort.
Copy !req
410. What made you ask that?
Copy !req
411. Because he has compassion.
Copy !req
412. He aids people in
trouble. He helps the weak.
Copy !req
413. White and Olsen
are often not there
Copy !req
414. when he appears, are they?
Copy !req
415. Very seldom.
Copy !req
416. Sometimes you are
not there, Miss Lane.
