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