57. That's why it happened that my...

58. Well, that's how it happened

59. that this thing was in the closet.

70. It's empty.

71. I know. I told you. It was stolen.

72. And I've got to get it back, Candy.

73. I've gotta find out who the thief is.

74. How am I gonna look for something

75. when I don't know what I'm looking for?

76. What am I, a swami?

77. Just find the man that took it.

78. What man? The thief.

79. Look... if he left his fingerprints on that panel,

80. we might be able to trace him.

81. And if you'd just tell me what he stole...

82. Candy, please!

83. Okay.

84. We gotta get him outta here

85. before the cops show.

86. If they were gonna show,

87. they'd have been here last night.

88. I think he's coming to again.

89. So what? He don't know what he's saying.

90. Water.

91. Where'd you get Superman's costume, Teaball?

92. He doesn't know from nothing.

93. Where'd you get it, Teaball?

94. Ace will cut me in, huh?

95. Sure, Ace will cut you in.

96. Tell us where you got it.

97. Standish Arms Apartments.

98. Standish Place.

99. Which apartment was it?

100. What was the man's name?

101. Name?

102. The name of the man in the apartment

103. where you found Superman's costume.

104. D-don't know.

105. See? Nothing.

106. Which apartment was it?

107. Which apartment was it, Teaball?

108. You know the number, don't you?

109. Number?

110. What was it?

111. Apartment five...

112. Floor...

113. Fifth floor?

114. Why don't you let the poor crumb die in peace?

115. Will you shut up?

116. Teaball, listen.

117. Fifth floor.

118. Apartment...

119. five...

120. Yeah? Yeah?

121. Five...

122. H.

123. He's dead.

124. Great. Now I gotta get rid of a stiff.

125. Ace, listen.

126. He said Apartment 5H.

127. Look, Joe?

128. Ace.

129. Get ahold of Vince and come up here right away.

130. Got a little job for you.

131. Yeah.

132. Ace... maybe this is Superman's outfit.

133. Are you off your nut too?

134. Just because a guy's got a costume

135. hanging in his closet

136. doesn't mean he's Superman.

137. This was in a secret closet. He said so.

138. Yeah, sure.

139. It don't burn.

140. So it's fireproof.

141. They got ways of making

142. a lot of things fireproof these days.

143. You can't cut it, neither.

144. Look, if this was Superman's costume,

145. he'd be wearing it, wouldn't he?

146. Maybe he took it off on account of

147. he wanted to be the other guy.

148. What are you talking about? You know.

149. Everybody figures Superman is really two guys.

150. When he isn't being Superman, he's being the other guy.

151. Last night, he was being the other guy.

152. You know what this is worth if it's his?

153. Yeah. Plenty.

154. Then what are we waiting for?

155. Where are you going?

156. I'm gonna check that apartment

157. at the Standish Arms and see who lives there.

158. Oh, Candy, what'd you find out?

159. I found out that the guy that rifled your closet

160. was Johnny Simms, a sneak thief.

161. Age 34, 5-foot-6, 140 pounds,

162. brown hair, brown eyes,

163. known as "Teaball."

164. Twenty-three arrests and three convictions since 1936.

165. That's great, Candy.

166. Can you pick him up for me?

167. Too late. He's laying down in the morgue.

168. They picked him up this morning in a vacant lot

169. with a bullet in his back.

170. Hmm. Did they find anything on him?

171. I don't know.

172. Mm-hm. Well, you wait here.

173. Where are you going?

174. To the morgue.

175. Well! I dropped my bag.

176. Got everything?

177. I think so. Is Mr. Fuller in?

178. Fuller? Isn't this Apartment 5H?

179. Yeah, but there's no Fuller here.

180. You mean this isn't Mr. Fuller's apartment?

181. No. Ha! This is Clark Kent's apartment.

182. Oh. Am I dumb. It's 3H.

183. I'm sorry I bothered you, Mr. Kent.

184. But I'm not... I guess I need glasses.

185. The guy's name is Clark Kent.

186. He's a newspaper reporter.

187. Yeah?

188. He don't look like Superman to me,

189. but I guess when he gets the costume on, he looks different.

190. Anyway, I checked with the superintendent.

191. He works for the Daily Planet.

192. That's the guy, baby.

193. Every time Superman does something,

194. it breaks in the Planet first thing.

195. We've got to nail it down.

196. What do you mean?

197. Gotta be sure.

198. But you just said yourself, it adds up.

199. He's the guy.

200. Gotta figure this out.

201. There must be a way.

202. I got it.

203. I got it, baby.

204. Hello.

205. Yeah, Kent?

206. Anything at the morgue?

207. No.

208. I've got to think this out, Candy.

209. Also, I've got to check in back at my office.

210. Can you come to the apartment tonight at 8:30?

211. Sure thing.

212. I still don't like the whole idea, Ace.

213. I know what I'm doing.

214. Supposing he ain't Superman.

215. It's a murder rap.

216. We can find some other way.

217. Will you shut up?

218. You stay here.

219. If anybody comes, ring the bell three times.

220. Okay.

221. Okay. It's all set.

222. Now what we we gotta do is find out

223. when he gets back here from the office tonight.

224. What for?

225. So I can be waiting downstairs when it blows.

226. What time is it?

227. Twenty after 8.

228. You called his office at 8:00, didn't you?

229. Yeah, and they said he just left.

230. Well, he ought to be along here soon, then.

231. There he is.

232. He don't look like no Superman to me.

233. Are you sure that's him? It's him.

234. What's the matter? You got the shakes?

235. I'll be all right.

236. I only hope it don't take too long.

237. It won't take too long after he opens that closet.

238. He'll either be dead

239. or we'll be sitting on top of the world.

240. Hello, Candy.

241. Hi.

242. Man, you really look beat.

243. I am, Candy. I've never felt like this before in my life.

244. Well, okay.

245. Let's sit down and hash this thing out.

246. Come on.

247. How much longer are we gonna wait, Ace?

248. Give him a chance.

249. He's only been up there a couple of minutes.

250. Supposing he don't open the closet.

251. He will when he sees that door's open a little ways.

252. I don't like this caper. I don't like it a bit.

253. Relax, baby. Relax!

254. For Pete's sake, will you stop wearing out the rug?

255. You're driving yourself nuts and me too.

256. Look, Kent. I'm your friend, ain't I?

257. Yes.

258. I'm not hanging around here just to get a fee.

259. I wanna help you.

260. So let me.

261. What's this all about?

262. What was swiped out of that closet?

263. Well...

264. I can't tell you.

265. Well, then, how in blazes

266. do you expect me to help you, Kent?

267. I guess you can't help me after all, Candy.

268. I guess no one can.

269. Let's forget it and go get some dinner.

270. Okay. Better wash my hands.

271. Hey, Kent.

272. Yes?

273. Did you leave this closet open?

274. Why, no.

275. Well, it's open now. It is?

276. Candy!

277. That's it. Let's get outta here.

278. Someone planted a bomb in there.

279. It was wired to the panel.

280. Oh, great.

281. Some playful friends you got.

282. Any idea which one of 'em

283. wants to measure you for a harp and a pair of wings?

284. I wish I did.

285. Look, this time the cops are gonna ask questions.

286. Would you mind answering a couple for me first?

287. No!

288. Oh, wait.

289. Candy, look, keep them out

290. till I get things cleaned up, will you?

291. Right.

292. Nix.

293. I wanted to see if there's a news flash on the explosion.

294. It ought to say if something happened to Kent.

295. There's a better way.

296. Get the phone book and look up Kent's number for me.

297. Hello.

298. Yes. Who's calling, please?

299. Can Mr. Kent speak on the phone, please?

300. This is Mr. Kent speaking.

301. Kent.

302. You didn't get hurt or nothing tonight, Kent?

303. Hurt? Well, no. Uh...

304. Who is this?

305. How would you like to get back what was stolen

306. out of your secret closet last night?

307. Yeah. I've got it.

308. I've got it hidden in a nice place.

309. If you want to get it back,

310. come over to 1214 West Street.

311. Third floor.

312. Come alone.

313. Well, um, I'm expecting some important phone calls.

314. Why don't you come over here?

315. Wait a minute.

316. He wants us to come over there.

317. No.

318. He won't try nothing.

319. We've got him over a barrel.

320. Okay. We'll be over in 15 minutes.

321. Candy, you'll have to leave.

322. Kent, you're crazy. I'm sorry.

323. I can't help it, Candy.

324. You'll just have to leave. That's all.

325. Okay. I'm finished.

326. Done.

327. Washed-up.

328. But just remember this:

329. When you're stretched out on a slab in the morgue,

330. I won't be able to help you.

331. Good night.

332. Hey.

333. Who are you, buddy? Me, I'm...

334. He's Kent. What are you doing down here?

335. Didn't you think we were coming?

336. Some people dropped up to the apartment.

337. I couldn't get rid of 'em.

338. Oh. Well, get in the car.

339. We'll go someplace else.

340. How about your place?

341. Why not?

342. Connie, you drive.

343. What are we waiting for?

344. Let's get down to business.

345. Sure. Wait a minute.

346. How come you pack a gun, Kent?

347. Well, uh, a reporter sometimes

348. gets himself in bad spots...

349. like this one now.

350. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

351. Well, I ain't so sure. What do you mean?

352. What was swiped out of

353. your secret closet last night?

354. You know.

355. Yeah, I know. But do you?

356. Give it a name.

357. Oh, look, we're wasting time.

358. Give it a name.

359. Let's stop playing games and get down to cases.

360. Okay. We'll stop playing games.

361. The bullets bounced right off him.

362. Hey, this guy's Superman, not him.

363. Is he dead?

364. No, I just knocked him out

365. so he wouldn't hear this.

366. Now, talk and talk fast.

367. Who else have you told about me?

368. And where's my costume?

369. We ain't told nobody yet.

370. Just her and me know.

371. Nobody has to know if you'll play ball.

372. Do you wanna make a deal?

373. Natch. Let's sit down and talk turkey.

374. I don't make deals. Save your breath.

375. Okay.

376. Then we do a little talking.

377. We tell everyone that Kent is Superman.

378. Yeah. And that'll put the whammy

379. on your Superman racket, but good.

380. You aren't going to tell anybody.

381. How are you gonna stop us?

382. You won't kill us.

383. Everybody knows that Superman

384. don't kill people.

385. So how you gonna stop us?

386. I'll find a way.

387. You better put some warm clothing on.

388. We're going places.

389. You, your girlfriend and I.

390. There's no way of getting down.

391. The cabin's very comfortable.

392. I'll see that you have plenty of wood to heat it

393. and enough food to eat.

394. You're not gonna leave us here.

395. Wait a minute...

396. You'll have to stay here

397. till I think of another way to keep you from talking.

398. We won't talk. Honest. I don't believe you.

399. Look, didn't we give you back your costume?

400. We're willing to forget the whole thing. Ain't we, Connie?

401. I can't take the word

402. of would-be murderers and blackmailers.

403. I'll be back soon with everything you need.

404. Now, don't try to escape.

405. Your lives wouldn't be worth a nickel.

406. I'll see you soon.

407. Now, wait a minute. Listen! Don't leave us here, please!

408. Now what are we gonna do?

409. I don't know about you but I'm getting out of here.

410. Are you crazy? Look down there.

411. We can make it.

412. No, Ace. I'm afraid.

413. What do you wanna do? Stay here and starve to death?

414. He said he was gonna bring us food.

415. Stop kidding yourself. He won't bring us nothing.

416. Now, all right. I'm going down.

417. You watch where I stop and then you follow me.

418. No, Ace. I can't.

419. You gotta! You hear me? You gotta!

420. All right. All right!

421. Come on. It's a cinch.

422. Aargh!

423. Let me get this straight, boy.

424. You found what you went after.

425. That's right.

426. And the guy who had it was dead.

427. The guy and the woman. They fell off a cliff.

428. Well, what do you know.

429. They fell off a cliff, did they?

430. Mm-hm.

431. Kent, you must think I'm an awful sap.

432. Why, Candy?

433. Why, he asks me.

434. Look. Any minute you'll be trying to tell me

435. that I'm J. Edgar Hoover, and you're Superman.

436. Could be.

437. That did it.

438. Good night, Kent.

439. So long, Candy.
