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. Good evening, my friends.
Copy !req
19. This is a sad occasion
for one of you and for me.
Copy !req
20. My third death figure
has been completed.
Copy !req
21. It now becomes my unhappy duty
Copy !req
22. to reveal to you the person
Copy !req
23. who within the next
six months will die.
Copy !req
24. Curtain.
Copy !req
25. Paper. Daily
Planet. Read all about it.
Copy !req
26. Paper, mister?
Copy !req
27. Paper. Daily Planet.
Copy !req
28. Read all about it.
Copy !req
29. I got the Daily Planet paper.
Copy !req
30. Read all about it.
Copy !req
31. I knew John Hurley well.
Copy !req
32. He was happy,
healthy, successful.
Copy !req
33. He had no reason
to kill himself.
Copy !req
34. Neither did Herbert Fairweather
Copy !req
35. or John Martin.
Copy !req
36. Who?
Copy !req
37. The two others who
committed suicide.
Copy !req
38. Clark thinks Madame Selena
had something to do with it.
Copy !req
39. Yeah. She predicted all
their deaths, you know.
Copy !req
40. Kent, I'm surprised at you.
Copy !req
41. Do you actually believe
Copy !req
42. that fortune-teller has
supernatural powers?
Copy !req
43. No, chief, of course not, but...
Copy !req
44. It's an old charlatan's trick.
Copy !req
45. They make thousands
of predictions.
Copy !req
46. And if one of them
happens to come true,
Copy !req
47. superstitious
idiots are taken in.
Copy !req
48. That's right.
Copy !req
49. But Madame Selena
made only three predictions.
Copy !req
50. She might have made 300.
Copy !req
51. We only heard about
the ones that came true.
Copy !req
52. No, chief. I've
investigated this.
Copy !req
53. So have the police, and they
gave her a clean bill of health.
Copy !req
54. I'd still like to talk to her.
Copy !req
55. Go ahead, talk is cheap.
Copy !req
56. I'll go with you.
Copy !req
57. I thought you didn't
see anything in this.
Copy !req
58. But you do, so I'll just
go along for the ride.
Copy !req
59. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
60. We'd like to see
Madame Selena, please.
Copy !req
61. I'm Clark Kent, and
this is Miss Lane.
Copy !req
62. We're both from
the Daily Planet.
Copy !req
63. If you will wait here,
Copy !req
64. I'll find out whether
Madame can see you now.
Copy !req
65. Thank you.
Copy !req
66. Well, let's look around.
Copy !req
67. I am Herbert Fairweather.
Copy !req
68. I died by my own hand
in January of 1949,
Copy !req
69. four months after Madame
Selena predicted my death.
Copy !req
70. I am John Martin.
Copy !req
71. I departed this life by
drowning in April 1951,
Copy !req
72. exactly six months to the day
Copy !req
73. following Madame
Selena's death prediction.
Copy !req
74. Clark, this is weird.
Copy !req
75. Madame puts on quite
a show, doesn't she?
Copy !req
76. I am Dr. John Hurley...
Copy !req
77. That's enough.
Copy !req
78. I know they're just
recorded voices,
Copy !req
79. but it's a little too
gruesome for my taste.
Copy !req
80. Madame Selena will see you now.
Copy !req
81. Miss Lane and Mr. Kent, my dear.
Copy !req
82. How do you do? Please sit down.
Copy !req
83. Thank you.
Copy !req
84. Tea?
Copy !req
85. No. I don't care
for any, thanks.
Copy !req
86. At first, I was not
going to see you.
Copy !req
87. Your newspaper called
me a fortune-teller.
Copy !req
88. Well, aren't you?
Copy !req
89. I am not.
Copy !req
90. Sorry. I didn't
mean to offend you.
Copy !req
91. Forgive me.
Copy !req
92. You come to visit
me, and I am rude.
Copy !req
93. How may I serve you?
Copy !req
94. We'd like to learn more about
your power to predict death.
Copy !req
95. A vision comes to me.
Copy !req
96. I hear a voice.
Copy !req
97. It says, "Create a
wax portrait of this one.
Copy !req
98. Within six months, he will die."
Copy !req
99. About those
three that did die...
Copy !req
100. Within six months,
as I predicted.
Copy !req
101. Yes. They
were all quite famous.
Copy !req
102. Let's see, one was an
ex-mayor of Metropolis,
Copy !req
103. one was a radio commentator
and one was a psychiatrist.
Copy !req
104. Did you know
them all quite well?
Copy !req
105. On the contrary, I
never saw them before.
Copy !req
106. And about this,
uh... This voice.
Copy !req
107. It comes to me as
from another world.
Copy !req
108. Not from a phonograph record,
Copy !req
109. like the voices in
your Hall of Death?
Copy !req
110. Any further questions?
Copy !req
111. Just one more,
if you don't mind.
Copy !req
112. Have you received
any death visions lately?
Copy !req
113. Do you expect to?
Copy !req
114. How can I tell?
Copy !req
115. Well, if you can't, who can?
Copy !req
116. Should I receive a command
Copy !req
117. to make another death figure,
Copy !req
118. I will invite you to the
unveiling, Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
119. Thank you.
Copy !req
120. And you, Miss Lane.
Copy !req
121. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
122. So nice of you to visit me.
Copy !req
123. Nice of you to see us.
Copy !req
124. Goodbye. Goodbye.
Copy !req
125. You never give up, do you?
Copy !req
126. Listen to this:
Copy !req
127. "The three people who
apparently committed suicide
Copy !req
128. "were almost the same
height, around 5-feet-8.
Copy !req
129. And they all weighed
close to 150 pounds."
Copy !req
130. What does that prove?
Copy !req
131. I'm not sure yet
but I have an idea.
Copy !req
132. Here you are, kids.
Read 'em and weep.
Copy !req
133. I got one too.
Copy !req
134. So Madame
Selena had another vision.
Copy !req
135. You know what
this means, don't you?
Copy !req
136. No. What?
Copy !req
137. It could be one of us.
Copy !req
138. Madame Selena's
making her entrance.
Copy !req
139. I guess the show's
about to start.
Copy !req
140. I have asked you here,
Copy !req
141. representatives of
the press and industry,
Copy !req
142. the arts and sciences,
Copy !req
143. to witness an occult
demonstration.
Copy !req
144. Recently I received a vision,
Copy !req
145. and a voice from the beyond
Copy !req
146. commanded me to
create a death figure.
Copy !req
147. I obeyed the command.
Copy !req
148. It now becomes my unhappy duty
Copy !req
149. to reveal the figure of the
one who will meet death
Copy !req
150. within the next six months.
Copy !req
151. Clark, what's the
matter with you?
Copy !req
152. Curtain.
Copy !req
153. Chief, it's you!
Copy !req
154. What kind of nonsense is this?
Copy !req
155. Don't worry, chief.
Copy !req
156. Who's worried?
Copy !req
157. It's ridiculous. Utter nonsense.
Copy !req
158. And I'll tell that woman so.
Copy !req
159. I'm sorry, my friend.
Copy !req
160. And you're going
to be a lot sorrier!
Copy !req
161. I don't like practical jokes!
Copy !req
162. Unfortunately for
you, it's not a joke.
Copy !req
163. It's a farce! And
Madame, you are a fraud.
Copy !req
164. Now, chief, wait a minute.
Copy !req
165. You keep out of this.
Copy !req
166. Before my paper gets
through with you, Madame,
Copy !req
167. you're gonna be run out of town!
Copy !req
168. Bah! Come on, Kent. Lois!
Copy !req
169. Let's get out of here.
Copy !req
170. Me have a bodyguard?
Are you crazy?
Copy !req
171. Why don't you play it safe? Bah!
Copy !req
172. Now, look, chief,
Copy !req
173. I don't for a moment believe
in her clairvoyant powers.
Copy !req
174. But you must admit, her
three predictions did come true.
Copy !req
175. Maybe Clark's right, chief.
Copy !req
176. For the last time,
Copy !req
177. I am not going to jump
into Metropolis Harbor!
Copy !req
178. I am not going to
have a bodyguard,
Copy !req
179. and that's final!
Copy !req
180. Hello.
Copy !req
181. Kent, this is
Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
182. Pick up Miss Lane and get
down to headquarters right away.
Copy !req
183. Something's happened.
Copy !req
184. Oh, Clark.
Copy !req
185. White's, aren't they?
Copy !req
186. Yes.
Copy !req
187. Inspector, I just
can't believe it.
Copy !req
188. Well, the clerk at
the newspaper club
Copy !req
189. said he saw him
leave just after 2 a.m.
Copy !req
190. Said he looked
kind of wild or drunk.
Copy !req
191. Drunk?
Copy !req
192. Perry White was never
drunk a day in his life.
Copy !req
193. Well, several people saw
him staggering down the street.
Copy !req
194. They identified him
from his photographs.
Copy !req
195. And the patrolman
on the waterfront
Copy !req
196. saw him jump off the pier.
Copy !req
197. It isn't true.
Copy !req
198. Clark, it just can't be true.
Copy !req
199. The chief wouldn't
commit suicide.
Copy !req
200. Of course he wouldn't.
Copy !req
201. Come on, I'll drive you home.
Copy !req
202. I'll see you later.
Copy !req
203. It's no use.
Copy !req
204. I've been trying to write
the chief's obituary...
Copy !req
205. I know.
Copy !req
206. I've been thinking.
Copy !req
207. Do you know that all the people
Copy !req
208. that Madame Selena
predicted would die
Copy !req
209. jumped off the same pier.
Copy !req
210. And none of their bodies
were ever recovered?
Copy !req
211. Well, the tide carried
them out to sea.
Copy !req
212. Maybe.
Copy !req
213. But you can't convince me
Copy !req
214. that Madame Selena
and her husband
Copy !req
215. don't know a lot more
than they're telling.
Copy !req
216. Do you really think
so, Clark? Mmm.
Copy !req
217. I'll get it. It's
probably for me.
Copy !req
218. Clark Kent speaking.
Copy !req
219. Oh, yes, inspector.
Did you get...?
Copy !req
220. Oh, you have?
Copy !req
221. Good.
Copy !req
222. All right. I'll meet
you at the pier.
Copy !req
223. Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
224. He's got some more information.
Copy !req
225. Now, you wait here.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
226. Six o'clock, closing time.
Copy !req
227. Everyone will have
to leave, please.
Copy !req
228. Andrew?
Copy !req
229. Andrew!
Copy !req
230. Yes, dear. Help me out.
Copy !req
231. Everybody gone? Yes, dear.
Copy !req
232. The private museum's
doing very well.
Copy !req
233. We've room for three more.
Copy !req
234. Selena, I wish...
Copy !req
235. I know what you wish, Andrew.
Copy !req
236. Now close it up and
make me some coffee.
Copy !req
237. Lois!
Copy !req
238. Chief!
Copy !req
239. Thank heaven you've come.
Copy !req
240. Get me out of here.
Copy !req
241. Well, how do you...?
Well, it's locked.
Copy !req
242. Chief, how did you get here?
Copy !req
243. What are you...?
Copy !req
244. That madwoman has the key.
Copy !req
245. Get Kent. Call the police.
Copy !req
246. Someone's down there, I say.
Copy !req
247. I don't see anyone.
Copy !req
248. I turned the light
off. I know I did.
Copy !req
249. Look around, quickly.
Copy !req
250. There's no one down here.
Copy !req
251. There is.
Copy !req
252. You can see for
yourself, my dear.
Copy !req
253. There's no place
for anyone to hide.
Copy !req
254. I know there's someone
here. Ow!
Copy !req
255. Get the chloroform.
Copy !req
256. Let me go!
Copy !req
257. Pour it on there!
Copy !req
258. Now, look here, inspector.
Copy !req
259. See there? Come here.
Copy !req
260. See along the top
of the pilings? Yeah.
Copy !req
261. With a rope, a man could easily
Copy !req
262. pull himself up out of the water
Copy !req
263. and hide there.
Copy !req
264. What are you getting at?
Copy !req
265. Andrew Dawn.
Copy !req
266. He's about the
same build and height
Copy !req
267. as Perry White and
those three others.
Copy !req
268. Andrew Dawn? Who's he?
Copy !req
269. Madame Selena's husband.
Copy !req
270. It's fantastic, inspector,
but it just could be.
Copy !req
271. What could be?
Copy !req
272. Madame Selena's husband
impersonating them.
Copy !req
273. If she made wax masks...
Copy !req
274. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
275. The wax museum,
we'd better check it.
Copy !req
276. We already have. We went
over it from top to bottom.
Copy !req
277. Well, let's go over it again.
Copy !req
278. It's a waste of time.
Copy !req
279. You're way off the beam on this.
Copy !req
280. I don't think so.
Copy !req
281. And I'll tell you why
as we go. Come on.
Copy !req
282. Oh, all right.
Copy !req
283. Thought you had me trapped, huh?
Copy !req
284. Thought you were smarter than I?
Copy !req
285. Well, look at you now.
Copy !req
286. You're a member of
my private wax museum,
Copy !req
287. and you'll stay
there till you die.
Copy !req
288. Stop it.
Copy !req
289. Aren't they beautiful?
Copy !req
290. Stop it, I said.
Copy !req
291. My private museum.
Copy !req
292. Living wax figures.
Copy !req
293. Selena!
Copy !req
294. Pull yourself together.
Copy !req
295. You're a mouse. A
scared little mouse.
Copy !req
296. Look at me.
Copy !req
297. I've got everything,
Copy !req
298. because I've got
courage, money, power.
Copy !req
299. Everyone fears me.
Copy !req
300. And do you know why?
Copy !req
301. Because they're afraid
Copy !req
302. I'll make a death
figure of them.
Copy !req
303. Selena!
Copy !req
304. Selena!
Copy !req
305. There's someone at the door.
Copy !req
306. The police! Open up!
Copy !req
307. We're, uh, looking
for some people.
Copy !req
308. People?
Copy !req
309. There are no people here.
Copy !req
310. Only my wife and myself.
Copy !req
311. Why don't you have a look
Copy !req
312. at their private
apartment, inspector.
Copy !req
313. I might as well.
Copy !req
314. Oh, well, this is ridiculous.
Copy !req
315. But I'd be happy to show
you our living quarters.
Copy !req
316. My wife is in there now.
Copy !req
317. Come this way, please.
Copy !req
318. Go ahead. I'll be right along.
Copy !req
319. Kent...
Copy !req
320. What happened?
Copy !req
321. This is my private museum.
Copy !req
322. This is where I keep
my masterpieces.
Copy !req
323. Who are you? What
are you doing here?
Copy !req
324. It's Superman.
Copy !req
325. How dare you? This
is private property!
Copy !req
326. Stop it! You'll mar my figures!
Copy !req
327. Andrew, stop him!
Copy !req
328. I predicted you'd
all die and you will!
Copy !req
329. Is she all right?
Copy !req
330. Yeah. She's just drugged.
Copy !req
331. Extra! Extra! Paper! Extra!
Copy !req
332. Superman saves
five in wax museum!
Copy !req
333. Paper, mister?
Copy !req
334. All's well that ends well.
Copy !req
335. I've got a little bump here
where Dawn knocked me out
Copy !req
336. just before he took
me to the museum.
Copy !req
337. Dawn and his wife will
get 20 years for abduction.
Copy !req
338. They must be out of their minds.
Copy !req
339. Dawn isn't out of his mind.
Copy !req
340. I still can't believe it.
Copy !req
341. Abducting four people
Copy !req
342. and making it look as
though they committed suicide,
Copy !req
343. when all the time,
that awful woman
Copy !req
344. had them locked in
her private waxworks.
Copy !req
345. Well, Kent had the answer.
Copy !req
346. That crazy Selena made masks
Copy !req
347. of the people she
predicted would die,
Copy !req
348. and her husband
impersonated them.
Copy !req
349. Made it look like they
committed suicide.
Copy !req
350. But why?
Copy !req
351. Publicity.
Copy !req
352. She did a land-office business.
Copy !req
353. Well...
Copy !req
354. Kent!
Looks like a party.
Copy !req
355. What in blazes happened
to you at the museum?
Copy !req
356. Who me? Yeah.
You just disappeared.
Copy !req
357. You know Clark, inspector.
Copy !req
358. He's always disappearing.
Copy !req
359. I'll bet you were hiding behind
Copy !req
360. one of those wax figures.
Copy !req
361. Behind Superman, chief.
Copy !req
