1. Faster than a speeding bullet.
Copy !req
2. More powerful than a locomotive.
Copy !req
3. Able to leap tall buildings
in 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 far beyond those of mortal men.
Copy !req
8. Superman, who can change
the course of mighty rivers...
Copy !req
9. bend steel with his bare hands...
Copy !req
10. and who. Disguised as Clark Kent...
Copy !req
11. —mild-mannered reporter
for a great metropolitan newspaper.
Copy !req
12. fights a never-ending battle for truth,
justice and the American way.
Copy !req
13. And now, another exciting episode
in the Adventures oi Superman.
Copy !req
14. Senorita. Excuse...
Copy !req
15. You're going to the auction. No?
Copy !req
16. - Why. yes.
- You look like one to be trusted.
Copy !req
17. I don't understand.
Copy !req
18. I have journeyed all the way from Peru
to attend this auction.
Copy !req
19. Really?
Copy !req
20. There's a certain piece of tapestry
that I must have.
Copy !req
21. But it would be unwise for me
to be seen bidding.
Copy !req
22. You will recognize it
by its framework of stars.
Copy !req
23. Here is $1000.
Copy !req
24. - Bid as much of it as you may need.
- Well. But—
Copy !req
25. Please.
Copy !req
26. I will be waiting here.
Copy !req
27. Don't move. Laverra.
Copy !req
28. Walk straight ahead
and turn in to the alley.
Copy !req
29. You are looking for
Professor Laverra. Senorita?
Copy !req
30. - Well. I don't know his name. But—
- He is an amigo.
Copy !req
31. My “friend." as you would say.
Copy !req
32. Oh. you have the tapestry. I will take it.
Copy !req
33. I'm sorry. You're not the gentleman
who gave me the money.
Copy !req
34. But I am his friend. I have told you.
Copy !req
35. Where did he go?
He said he'd wait out here.
Copy !req
36. - He could not wait. I will take it.
- I'm sorry. I can't give it to you.
Copy !req
37. But you say you're his friend?
Copy !req
38. Then tell him he can reach me
at the Daily Planet. My name is Lois Lane.
Copy !req
39. As you wish. Senorita.
Copy !req
40. But if you will give me the tapestry now.
It might save you much trouble.
Copy !req
41. No trouble. Really.
Copy !req
42. And imagine, he gave me $1000
to buy that and then disappeared.
Copy !req
43. I wouldn't give you 10 cents for it.
Copy !req
44. - Look. It's even got a hole in it.
- That's a cut-out star.
Copy !req
45. - It's still a hole.
- Strange you haven't heard from him.
Copy !req
46. I don't like the smell of it. I have a feeling
there's something rotten in Denmark.
Copy !req
47. You mean there's
something rotten in Peru.
Copy !req
48. You get it? Peru.
Copy !req
49. Very funny.
Copy !req
50. If he comes in. I'll be in my office.
Copy !req
51. - Well. So long. Mr. Kent.
- So long. Kid.
Copy !req
52. Hello. Clark Kent speaking.
Copy !req
53. Oh. yes. chief.
Copy !req
54. Yes. sir. Right away.
Copy !req
55. Hello.
Copy !req
56. Lois, I'm at the morgue.
Can you get here right away?
Copy !req
57. The morgue? What for. Clark?
Copy !req
58. Professor Laverra was found in an alley
behind that auction place. Murdered.
Copy !req
59. Bring the tapestry with you too.
It might give the police a lead.
Copy !req
60. It'll be right over.
Copy !req
61. I have come for the tapestry.
and I am pressed for time.
Copy !req
62. My plane for Lima leaves very shortly.
Copy !req
63. Superman.
Copy !req
64. My head.
Copy !req
65. What happened. Miss Lane?
Copy !req
66. Well. I was just leaving
the office. And—
Copy !req
67. Take it easy.
Copy !req
68. - Well. He came in with a gun.
- Who?
Copy !req
69. The man who wanted me to give him
the tapestry. Not Laverra. The other one.
Copy !req
70. - But you don't know about that.
- Kent briefed me. But what happened?
Copy !req
71. He clamped his hand over my mouth. Then
I guess he hit me on the head with a gun.
Copy !req
72. Did Clark learn anything at the morgue?
Copy !req
73. Only that Laverra was a professor
at the University of Lima. Peru.
Copy !req
74. There's a story behind this tapestry.
and I'll get it.
Copy !req
75. - Why not let Kent handle this.
- Oh. no.
Copy !req
76. Now that Professor Laverra's dead.
It's my tapestry and my story.
Copy !req
77. - Please. Chief.
- Nothing doing.
Copy !req
78. But if you'll just let me go to Peru.
I could crack this thing wide open.
Copy !req
79. Now. see here. Young lady. I said no.
Copy !req
80. - And I happen to be boss around here.
- Why. of course you are. Chief.
Copy !req
81. That's just why I told Pan Am
you'd okay my reservation.
Copy !req
82. What? You've already made
your reservation?
Copy !req
83. Well. I guess it's worth sending you to Peru
just to get you out of my hair.
Copy !req
84. - Take Olsen with you for protection.
- But I don't need any.
Copy !req
85. - You heard me.
- Well. Okay.
Copy !req
86. - Are you packed?
- Not yet.
Copy !req
87. Well. What are you standing around
here for? Wanna miss the plane?
Copy !req
88. Well. We're finally settled.
Copy !req
89. But it took that room clerk long enough
to understand your brand of Spanish.
Copy !req
90. It's a crummy hotel.
so they speak crummy Spanish.
Copy !req
91. Maybe that taxi driver will be
more on the beam.
Copy !req
92. Pardon me. Mr. Senior.
Copy !req
93. - That's more like it. See. he understands.
- You're doing fine.
Copy !req
94. - I asked him if he spoke Spanish.
- You're marvelous. Jim.
Copy !req
95. Could you comunicado me and
the senorita to el capitén of Ia police?
Copy !req
96. Enter. Senorita.
Copy !req
97. I find your story most interesting. Senorita.
Copy !req
98. But this man who killed Professor Laverra.
he will be extremely hard to locate.
Copy !req
99. Like you say. A needle in a haystack.
Copy !req
100. If he's here in Lima.
he arrived within the last 24 hours.
Copy !req
101. So maybe if you check the list
of plane passengers...
Copy !req
102. An excellent idea. Senorita.
but that will take quite some time.
Copy !req
103. So suppose you come back later.
Copy !req
104. Meanwhile. I suggest that you contact
Dr. Cuesta. Head of the university.
Copy !req
105. - I will phone him to expect you.
- Thank you so much. Captain.
Copy !req
106. Senorita Lane?
Copy !req
107. Dr. Cuesta told me to be looking for you
and to show you in.
Copy !req
108. I am Don Anselmo.
I was Professor Laverra's assistant.
Copy !req
109. How do you do?
Copy !req
110. Welcome to Lima. Senorita Lane.
Copy !req
111. Thank you. Dr. Cuesta.
Copy !req
112. And this is Mr. Olsen.
Copy !req
113. A pleasure indeed. Senior.
Copy !req
114. I was deeply shocked when I heard
about Professor Laverra.
Copy !req
115. Your fellow countryman has told me
all about it.
Copy !req
116. Clark. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
117. The chief decided it might take both of us
to crack this story.
Copy !req
118. - He did. Did he?
- But how did you get here so fast?
Copy !req
119. Jim. when I'm in a hurry
to get someplace. I really fly.
Copy !req
120. Senorita. Professor Laverra's death
will be mourned by all Peru.
Copy !req
121. He was a man with a big heart.
Copy !req
122. That is why he was so anxious
to acquire that Inca tapestry.
Copy !req
123. - But I don't understand.
- The tapestry could have furnished a key...
Copy !req
124. to some buried Inca treasures
worth many million pesos.
Copy !req
125. Laverra's idea was to find this wealth...
Copy !req
126. then turn it over to the government
for the poor and needy.
Copy !req
127. And I was to help him.
Copy !req
128. We spent many happy evenings
planning the project.
Copy !req
129. You will now see what I meant when I said
the tapestry could lead us to the treasure.
Copy !req
130. This piece of Inca handiwork...
Copy !req
131. is a replica of ancient Lima
and the country surrounding it.
Copy !req
132. It looks like a companion
to the one I bought.
Copy !req
133. You are right, senorita.
Copy !req
134. - It has the same framework of stars.
- But there's no hole.
Copy !req
135. Senior. The hole was the answer
we were looking for.
Copy !req
136. Placed over this tapestry...
Copy !req
137. that small cut-out star would have
shown us the exact location...
Copy !req
138. of the hidden Inca treasure.
Copy !req
139. Now you know the secret of the tapestry.
Copy !req
140. But I have not been
of much practical help.
Copy !req
141. Oh. but you have.
Copy !req
142. A lot of things are much clearer
than they were. Thank you. Doctor.
Copy !req
143. Well. I wish things were
a little clearer to me.
Copy !req
144. - But we all can't be so bright. Can we. Jim?
- Me. I'm on a merry-go-round.
Copy !req
145. I hope we can find some clues.
or we've come a long way for nothing.
Copy !req
146. Yes. Senior Anselmo?
Copy !req
147. My car and I are at your disposal
as long as you are in Lima.
Copy !req
148. Well. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
149. Jim and I can make real use of it.
Copy !req
150. Be seeing you around. Clark.
Copy !req
151. And don't take any wooden pesos.
Copy !req
152. These photographs
are from our confidential files.
Copy !req
153. They are the only four airplane passengers
with whom our department is at all familiar.
Copy !req
154. That's the man.
I get the creeps just looking at him.
Copy !req
155. - He's sure got a mean puss.
- This is your lucky day. Senorita.
Copy !req
156. Pedro Mendoza is a dangerous fox. Senorita.
Copy !req
157. He has always managed to escape the law.
and he will stop at nothing.
Copy !req
158. However. I'll convey this information
to our chief of detectives...
Copy !req
159. and we will comb every inch
of Peru for him.
Copy !req
160. You will excuse me. si?
Copy !req
161. Think we ought to tell Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
162. When things are already so clear to him?
Copy !req
163. Why. a little clue like this
would mean nothing to our Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
164. Senorita. Tomorrow...
Copy !req
165. perhaps while the police are looking
for Mendoza...
Copy !req
166. you might enjoy a little drive
up into the country. No?
Copy !req
167. Oh. golly. That would be keen.
Copy !req
168. Well. I'd love to. really...
Copy !req
169. but. Well. Suppose I let you know
in the morning.
Copy !req
170. Mendoza?
Copy !req
171. This is Anselmo.
Copy !req
172. It is a delightful day. And I am pleased
you have decided to spend it with me.
Copy !req
173. We might as well. The police haven't found
any traces of that Mendoza guy.
Copy !req
174. Well. Look who's here.
Copy !req
175. Morning. Lois.
Copy !req
176. - Hi. Jim.
- Hi. Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
177. - How's it coming. Clark?
- Well. Slow but sure.
Copy !req
178. I spent yesterday afternoon in the library
reading up on the Incas.
Copy !req
179. Tell me about it sometime.
Copy !req
180. - I've been thinking about that cut-out star.
- Who hasn't?
Copy !req
181. That little old hole could tell us a lot.
Copy !req
182. The way I remember that tapestry. The star
was in the upper corner somewhere.
Copy !req
183. That would be northeast of here.
Copy !req
184. I looked at a map. And my guess is
the treasure's somewhere near...
Copy !req
185. a little town called Madera.
It's in the foothills.
Copy !req
186. And all we have to do is dig through
each little hill. One by one.
Copy !req
187. Madera is beautiful country.
Perhaps you would like to see it.
Copy !req
188. Anywhere you say. Senior.
Copy !req
189. And thanks for the geography lesson. Clark.
It was very interesting.
Copy !req
190. The water's on the door. Senior.
Copy !req
191. You're liking the ride. Senorita?
Copy !req
192. All I know is I'm hot.
Copy !req
193. - You do not enjoy the beautiful scenery?
- Scenery?
Copy !req
194. All I've seen for hours
is barren country and dust.
Copy !req
195. - Have a drink. Miss Lane.
- No. thanks. Jimmy.
Copy !req
196. You will like Madera better.
Soon. We will be there.
Copy !req
197. Get out.
Copy !req
198. Is this is Madera?
Copy !req
199. No. it is not Madera. But it is the last stop
for you and your young friend.
Copy !req
200. What kind of a joke is this?
Copy !req
201. It is no joke. Senorita.
Copy !req
202. You are too inquisitive.
You know too much.
Copy !req
203. And in this desolate country.
people become silent forever.
Copy !req
204. - Get out.
- I won't budge from this car.
Copy !req
205. - Out!
- Leave her alone!
Copy !req
206. - The dirty rat. Did he hurt you, Miss Lane?
- No. I'm all right. How about you?
Copy !req
207. I think I'll live.
Copy !req
208. - Well. What do we do now?
- Golly. I don't know. I guess we walk home.
Copy !req
209. I hate to let him get away with it.
Obviously. He's working with Mendoza.
Copy !req
210. Sure. But what are we gonna do?
We'll die out here without food and water.
Copy !req
211. - Jim.
- Yes. Miss Lane?
Copy !req
212. Are you game to follow him with me?
Copy !req
213. I promised the chief I'd never let you
out of my sight.
Copy !req
214. We'll just follow the road and keep our eye
on the tire tracks. Come on.
Copy !req
215. Look. Miss Lane.
Copy !req
216. Here's where he must have
turned off the road.
Copy !req
217. If I ever get back to Metropolis.
the Daily Planet owes me new shoes.
Copy !req
218. It'll settle just to get back.
Copy !req
219. Look. Jim. his car.
Copy !req
220. He must have gone in here.
Copy !req
221. Golly. It's darker in there
than in the tunnel of love.
Copy !req
222. - Well. We can't stop now.
- Who's stopping?
Copy !req
223. - What's that?
- I don't know. It sounds like digging to me.
Copy !req
224. Your hearing is excellent. Senior.
Copy !req
225. Anselmo.
Copy !req
226. So you could not bear to be
without my company. Eh?
Copy !req
227. Because you Americanos have shown
such an interest in our Inca relics...
Copy !req
228. we have unearthed a few.
Copy !req
229. These ancient chains. For example.
Copy !req
230. It was a barbarous custom indeed
to chain people for death.
Copy !req
231. You take your hands off!
Copy !req
232. Only that wall now separates us
from the Inca treasure.
Copy !req
233. Soon. It will be ours.
Partly thanks to you. Senorita...
Copy !req
234. for it was from you I got the tapestry.
Copy !req
235. There is no use to dig further. Mendoza.
Copy !req
236. The wall is too hard.
Copy !req
237. - We had better use the dynamite.
- Sl'. by all means.
Copy !req
238. Now.
Copy !req
239. We will be back as soon as the dynamite
has done its work.
Copy !req
240. I regret to have to leave you
in such danger.
Copy !req
241. - I shouldn't have gotten you into this mess.
- It's not your fault, Miss Lane.
Copy !req
242. Anyway. I followed the chief's orders
and stuck with you right to the end.
Copy !req
243. What's that?
Copy !req
244. I don't know. It sounds like...
Copy !req
245. The explosion trapped those two.
I'll get them later.
Copy !req
246. You two got yourselves in a fine mess.
Copy !req
247. If Clark hadn't told me
you were headed here...
Copy !req
248. - ... l hate to think what might have happened.
- Let's not talk about it.
Copy !req
249. - Did you see all those hidden jewels?
- Yes. Jim.
Copy !req
250. Professor Laverra's dream has come true.
Copy !req
251. Thanks to you.
Copy !req
252. Better find a taxi. We haven't got
much time to catch that plane.
Copy !req
253. Oh. good heavens. I forgot to leave
the money for Dr. Cuesta, the $960.
Copy !req
254. You can send it to him.
I'll go get the taxi.
Copy !req
255. I'm sorry there were only
two reservations left...
Copy !req
256. - ... but I'll tell the chief to expect you.
- Don't worry.
Copy !req
257. - There's more than one way to get back.
- Sure. If you had wings. You could fly.
Copy !req
258. Come to think of it.
that's not a bad idea.
Copy !req
