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. From the very first moment
Copy !req
18. that Jim Olsen set
foot on Moose Island,
Copy !req
19. off the coast of Maine
Copy !req
20. to spend his vacation
Copy !req
21. with his Aunt Louisa
Horne and his cousin Chris,
Copy !req
22. he had a feeling that
something was wrong.
Copy !req
23. Aunt Louisa's house was
the only one on the island,
Copy !req
24. a gray, weather-beaten cottage
Copy !req
25. with the sea almost
at the front door.
Copy !req
26. Aunt Louisa herself
seemed very nice.
Copy !req
27. Jim hadn't seen her
since he was a baby,
Copy !req
28. couldn't even recall
what she looked like.
Copy !req
29. But underneath her pleasantness,
Copy !req
30. Jim sensed a feeling
of strain, of anxiety.
Copy !req
31. His cousin Chris, whom
he'd never met before either,
Copy !req
32. baffled Jim completely.
Copy !req
33. He seemed
deliberately unfriendly.
Copy !req
34. Aunt Louisa's house
was spotlessly clean,
Copy !req
35. kept that way by Alice,
the pretty housemaid.
Copy !req
36. But when he was
introduced to Alice
Copy !req
37. and Jim realized the poor
girl was deaf and dumb,
Copy !req
38. his heart sank.
Copy !req
39. He felt immediately
sympathetic toward her.
Copy !req
40. And besides, it left only his
Aunt Louisa with whom to talk.
Copy !req
41. Because, as far as he knew,
Copy !req
42. Chris, Alice and his aunt
Copy !req
43. were the only human
occupants of Moose Island.
Copy !req
44. Jim's uncle had been
dead for 20 years,
Copy !req
45. but Aunt Louisa
had kept his room
Copy !req
46. just as though
he were still alive.
Copy !req
47. When Jim heard
Copy !req
48. that it was going to be
Copy !req
49. his room during his stay,
Copy !req
50. his spirits revived
Copy !req
51. and he determined to make
the most of his first vacation
Copy !req
52. on an island off
the coast of Maine.
Copy !req
53. Actually, Moose Island
was a wild and exciting place.
Copy !req
54. There was the old lighthouse
that had been deserted
Copy !req
55. ever since Jim's
uncle, Captain Horne,
Copy !req
56. had drowned in a storm
some 20 years before.
Copy !req
57. There were huge rocks and cliffs
Copy !req
58. with tremendous seas
breaking over them...
Copy !req
59. and massive boulders
rising from the shore
Copy !req
60. like grim sentinels.
Copy !req
61. Jim was exploring this shore
Copy !req
62. the first afternoon
of his arrival
Copy !req
63. when he heard the horrible
sound for the first time.
Copy !req
64. Help!
Copy !req
65. Help!
Copy !req
66. I'm drowning!
Copy !req
67. Ohhhh!
Copy !req
68. Help!
Copy !req
69. Help!
Copy !req
70. I'm drowning!
Copy !req
71. Ohhhhhh!
Copy !req
72. Hey! Hello?
Copy !req
73. What's the matter?
Did I scare you?
Copy !req
74. Well, a little.
Copy !req
75. Come on out to the
beach and give me a hand.
Copy !req
76. Gotta get that stuff stowed
away before the tide comes in.
Copy !req
77. Say, you ain't the kid we
was talking to last night.
Copy !req
78. Last night? Oh,
no. I just got here.
Copy !req
79. You must mean my cousin Chris.
Copy !req
80. Chris tell you
anything about me?
Copy !req
81. No, he didn't.
Copy !req
82. You better go and tell
him to come on down here.
Copy !req
83. Tell him Mac wants him.
Copy !req
84. Okay.
Copy !req
85. Tell him to make it snappy.
Copy !req
86. We don't want to get
caught by that tide.
Copy !req
87. Where's Jim? He
went out for a walk.
Copy !req
88. Did you tell him to keep away
from the lighthouse and beach?
Copy !req
89. Yes. He promised me
he wouldn't go near them.
Copy !req
90. I don't like him
snooping around.
Copy !req
91. We shouldn't have let him
come here in the first place.
Copy !req
92. It was too late to stop him.
Copy !req
93. It's lucky I remembered
he was coming at all.
Copy !req
94. Chris? There he is now.
Copy !req
95. Phew!
Copy !req
96. Where have you been?
Copy !req
97. A sailor named Mac
wants to see you.
Copy !req
98. Where did you see Mac?
Out there in the woods.
Copy !req
99. What were you
doing in the woods?
Copy !req
100. Taking a walk.
Copy !req
101. You were spying, that's
what you were doing.
Copy !req
102. Spying on what?
Copy !req
103. As if I had to tell you.
Copy !req
104. Chris!
Copy !req
105. You'd better go out and
talk to Mac, hadn't you?
Copy !req
106. What's the matter
with Chris, anyway?
Copy !req
107. That cousin of yours
has a terrible temper.
Copy !req
108. I wouldn't provoke him any
more than you could help.
Copy !req
109. Provoke him?
Copy !req
110. All I did was go out for a walk.
Copy !req
111. Makes him furious if anyone
goes near the lighthouse...
Copy !req
112. or that little beach at the
other end of the island.
Copy !req
113. I didn't. I was out walking
in the woods when I...
Copy !req
114. I thought I heard
someone drowning.
Copy !req
115. In the woods?
Copy !req
116. Don't laugh. Jeepers, it nearly
scared the daylights out of me.
Copy !req
117. Sounded like a woman.
Copy !req
118. That's when I
ran into that sailor.
Copy !req
119. Now, now, now. Sit
down here, Jim, and relax.
Copy !req
120. We don't want you
imagining things,
Copy !req
121. like those crazy
natives on the mainland.
Copy !req
122. I didn't imagine that noise.
Copy !req
123. Aunt Louisa, isn't the
lighthouse closed down?
Copy !req
124. Yes, the government discontinued
the light 20 years ago. Why?
Copy !req
125. Well, the old man who
drove me to the dock
Copy !req
126. said that once in a while,
Copy !req
127. people on the mainland
still see the light.
Copy !req
128. Nonsense.
Copy !req
129. Jim, will you do me
a really great favor?
Copy !req
130. Well, sure, Aunt Louisa.
Copy !req
131. Forget this nonsense
Copy !req
132. and this little
unpleasantness with Chris.
Copy !req
133. I want you to have
a real vacation.
Copy !req
134. Promise me?
Copy !req
135. All right.
Copy !req
136. That's a good boy.
Copy !req
137. Nothing unusual happened
for the next two or three days.
Copy !req
138. Then, as Jim was starting
to get ready for bed,
Copy !req
139. he suddenly became aware
of something disturbing him.
Copy !req
140. Golly, the light's on!
Copy !req
141. Gee... now the light's off.
Copy !req
142. You were told to
keep away from here.
Copy !req
143. I saw the light...
Copy !req
144. What business is it of yours?
Copy !req
145. None, except... Except what?
Copy !req
146. It's been out of
operation for 20 years.
Copy !req
147. What if it has?
Copy !req
148. The man who drove me to the
dock said this lighthouse is haunted.
Copy !req
149. Maybe it is. So what?
Copy !req
150. Jeepers, Chris. I'm
a... I'm a reporter.
Copy !req
151. This would make
a terrific story.
Copy !req
152. If you write one word
Copy !req
153. about anything you've
seen around here...
Copy !req
154. Chris, you wouldn't knife me.
Copy !req
155. I will, so help me,
Copy !req
156. if I catch you
prowling here again,
Copy !req
157. sticking your nose in
where it don't belong.
Copy !req
158. Go on and get to bed.
Copy !req
159. Aunt Louisa?
Copy !req
160. Aunt Louisa!
Copy !req
161. Aunt Louisa!
Copy !req
162. Oh, it's you, Alice.
Copy !req
163. Oh, I get you. You
want me to go with you.
Copy !req
164. You lead, I'll follow.
Copy !req
165. Where do you two
think you're going?
Copy !req
166. Aunt Louisa!
Copy !req
167. Are you all right?
Copy !req
168. What do you
mean, am I all right?
Copy !req
169. You weren't in your room.
Copy !req
170. We were going
out to look for you.
Copy !req
171. Alice should've
known better than that.
Copy !req
172. Go to your room.
Copy !req
173. Night, Aunt Louisa.
Copy !req
174. Good night.
Copy !req
175. Hello. Clark Kent speaking.
Copy !req
176. Yes, I'll hang on.
Copy !req
177. Jim! How are you?
Copy !req
178. I was just thinking about you.
Copy !req
179. Sure, I got your postcard and...
Copy !req
180. Jim, what is it?
Copy !req
181. Mr. Kent, you'd better come
up here quick as you can.
Copy !req
182. Something's wrong.
Copy !req
183. I don't know what it is,
Copy !req
184. but you'd better hurry.
Copy !req
185. Take the first plane if you can.
Copy !req
186. I'll try to meet you at
the pier on the mainland
Copy !req
187. if I can get away.
Copy !req
188. Help! Help!
Copy !req
189. I'm drowning!
Copy !req
190. Ohhhhhh!
Copy !req
191. Hello. Hello, operator.
I was disconnected.
Copy !req
192. No. No, I don't know the number.
Copy !req
193. One moment,
please. I will try to connect you.
Copy !req
194. Hold on, sir. I'm still
trying to connect you.
Copy !req
195. Jim?
Copy !req
196. Anybody home?
Copy !req
197. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
198. Golly, am I glad to see you.
Copy !req
199. How are you, Jim?
Copy !req
200. I don't know whether
I'm coming or going.
Copy !req
201. I thought you were gonna
meet me on the mainland.
Copy !req
202. Chris and Aunt Louisa
went out on the boat.
Copy !req
203. I tried to phone into town
but the line's been cut off.
Copy !req
204. Say, how did you get here?
Copy !req
205. Well, Jim, that's a long story.
Copy !req
206. But what's going on?
Copy !req
207. You said on the phone
there was something wrong.
Copy !req
208. Come on, I'll tell you
everything that's happened
Copy !req
209. while I show you around.
Copy !req
210. And this is one of the places
Copy !req
211. where you heard
that cry for help?
Copy !req
212. Sounded as if it
came from over there.
Copy !req
213. Last night, I heard
it outside my window
Copy !req
214. and this morning,
Copy !req
215. outside the kitchen
when I was phoning you.
Copy !req
216. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
217. And this is where
you ran into the sailor?
Copy !req
218. He was standing
in back of that bush.
Copy !req
219. I see.
Copy !req
220. Could we get a look at
that beach and that cave
Copy !req
221. before your aunt and
your cousin get back?
Copy !req
222. It's almost dark and getting
pretty close to suppertime.
Copy !req
223. They're apt to be
back any time now.
Copy !req
224. That's a chance
we'll have to take.
Copy !req
225. Which way do we go?
Copy !req
226. The beach and cave
are on the other side.
Copy !req
227. Up this way.
Copy !req
228. It's covered about
20 hours of the day.
Copy !req
229. You can only see
it at very low tide.
Copy !req
230. Gosh, it's dark in there.
Copy !req
231. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
232. Uh-oh. What?
Copy !req
233. Fog's rolling in fast.
Copy !req
234. Probably just what
they've been waiting for.
Copy !req
235. Who? What do you mean?
Copy !req
236. Have you got the letter
your aunt wrote you
Copy !req
237. inviting you up here?
Copy !req
238. Sure.
Copy !req
239. Let's see it.
Copy !req
240. And, uh, here's the note
Copy !req
241. that was left on my
pillow last night too.
Copy !req
242. Oh?
Copy !req
243. Handwriting's identical.
Copy !req
244. Sure. Aunt Louisa
wrote both of them.
Copy !req
245. Could you get me another
specimen of your aunt's writing?
Copy !req
246. Get her to write you out
a recipe or something.
Copy !req
247. Oh, I guess so, but
why? Just a hunch.
Copy !req
248. You'd better get back
before they miss you.
Copy !req
249. Aren't you coming?
Copy !req
250. I want to look
around a little bit first.
Copy !req
251. You go ahead.
I'll see you later.
Copy !req
252. Superman!
Copy !req
253. Lieutenant, I need your help.
Copy !req
254. You... You need my help?
Copy !req
255. Yes. There's something
wrong on Moose Island.
Copy !req
256. Definitely Coast Guard business.
Copy !req
257. Nate, change the
course for Moose Island.
Copy !req
258. Jeepers! I'd better
find Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
259. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
260. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
261. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
262. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
263. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
264. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
265. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
266. Mr. Kent!
Copy !req
267. Help!
Copy !req
268. Help!
Copy !req
269. I'm drowning!
Copy !req
270. Ohhhhh!
Copy !req
271. Another hour and the tide
will cover him over complete.
Copy !req
272. Serves him right for snooping.
Copy !req
273. What's that?
Copy !req
274. Coast Guard cutter.
Copy !req
275. They got the only
twin siren on this shore.
Copy !req
276. Come on, Mac. Maybe
we can hold them off.
Copy !req
277. Aim at her gas tank.
She might blow up.
Copy !req
278. A lot of aiming
you'll do in this fog.
Copy !req
279. That's my department.
Copy !req
280. You stand by that contact switch
Copy !req
281. and blow up the lighthouse
if they get through.
Copy !req
282. They can't do anything to
us if they don't find evidence.
Copy !req
283. Chris, Alice is
up there with her.
Copy !req
284. That's her hard luck.
Copy !req
285. The fog's so thick I
can't make out the island.
Copy !req
286. Tell him to shut
off the engines.
Copy !req
287. Cut the engines, Nate.
Copy !req
288. See something? Yes.
Copy !req
289. There's a man with a
gun on the top of that hill.
Copy !req
290. I can't see a thing.
How do you do it?
Copy !req
291. Shh!
Copy !req
292. Do you hear that?
Copy !req
293. I can't hear anything,
I can't see anything.
Copy !req
294. It's Jim. He's in
trouble. I must go to him.
Copy !req
295. We'll be there in a minute.
Copy !req
296. I'd better take the wheel.
Copy !req
297. A minute will be too
late. I'll see you ashore.
Copy !req
298. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
299. Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
300. What happened? Where are you?
Copy !req
301. It's all right, Jim.
Copy !req
302. Superman!
Copy !req
303. How are you feeling?
Copy !req
304. Golly. What happened?
Copy !req
305. I can't remember anything
after they jumped me in the cave.
Copy !req
306. If I'd come two minutes later,
Copy !req
307. you'd have been
food for the fishes.
Copy !req
308. Jeepers, what are Chris and Mac
Copy !req
309. so steamed up about
that cave for, anyway?
Copy !req
310. That cave happens to be
Copy !req
311. the subterranean entrance
to the lighthouse, Jim.
Copy !req
312. When the tide is right, they
can float a boat all the way in
Copy !req
313. and unload it
underneath the lighthouse
Copy !req
314. without anyone being the wiser.
Copy !req
315. What's so wonderful about that?
Copy !req
316. Well, if you're a smuggler
Copy !req
317. and you want to keep
what you smuggle
Copy !req
318. away from the authorities,
Copy !req
319. it would be pretty important.
Copy !req
320. What's that?
Copy !req
321. That's the Coast Guard.
Copy !req
322. You feel up to
a little climbing?
Copy !req
323. I'll carry you if you like.
Copy !req
324. That's the Jim I used to know.
Copy !req
325. Lieutenant Haines and
Nate will take care of Chris.
Copy !req
326. You and I have got to get
to that lighthouse right now.
Copy !req
327. Incidentally, have
you got that sample
Copy !req
328. of your Aunt
Louisa's handwriting
Copy !req
329. that Clark Kent asked you for?
Copy !req
330. Yeah, I got a recipe
for blueberry pie
Copy !req
331. and another one of those crazy
notes, signed "Aunt Louisa,"
Copy !req
332. but the recipe's in completely
different handwriting.
Copy !req
333. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
334. The woman that wrote
that recipe is an imposter.
Copy !req
335. They've got your Aunt Louisa
Copy !req
336. bottled up somewhere
in that lighthouse.
Copy !req
337. Come on.
Copy !req
338. That's the way back to the cave.
Copy !req
339. That's the way we're
going. It's the shortest route.
Copy !req
340. Good evening, Mrs. Carmody.
Copy !req
341. I hope I didn't
startle you too much.
Copy !req
342. What are you doing down here?
Copy !req
343. What was I doing all those
weeks up in that lighthouse?
Copy !req
344. We kept you there
for your own good.
Copy !req
345. I know.
Copy !req
346. If I tried to telephone
the Coast Guard
Copy !req
347. to let them know what
was going on here,
Copy !req
348. you probably would've killed me.
Copy !req
349. It isn't true. We
didn't hurt you.
Copy !req
350. Sit down, Mrs.
Carmody. Sit in that chair.
Copy !req
351. Did I do it well?
Copy !req
352. Perfectly. You're
wonderful, Aunt Louisa.
Copy !req
353. All my life, I've been
wanting to capture somebody
Copy !req
354. with a pistol.
Copy !req
355. Say, where's that
handsome Superman?
Copy !req
356. Oh, he went out
to find Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
357. Well, now, if I were
just 30 years younger...
Copy !req
358. Well!
Copy !req
359. If it isn't Mrs.
Carmody's boy, Chris.
Copy !req
360. Good evening, lieutenant.
Copy !req
361. Good evening, Mrs. Horne.
Copy !req
362. You mean he isn't
my cousin Chris?
Copy !req
363. Heaven forbid!
Copy !req
364. He's Mrs. Carmody's boy.
Copy !req
365. She was my housekeeper
before all this nonsense began.
Copy !req
366. He came to live with us
Copy !req
367. right after your cousin
Chris went into the service.
Copy !req
368. Who's that? Mr. Kent.
Copy !req
369. Mr. Kent, this is
my real Aunt Louisa.
Copy !req
370. So I gather.
Copy !req
371. My, but he's handsome too!
Copy !req
372. As a matter of
fact, he looks like...
Copy !req
373. Uh, lieutenant,
Copy !req
374. the lighthouse is loaded
with contraband merchandise.
Copy !req
375. Silk, leather, English
china, silverware.
Copy !req
376. Cases of it. Do you
want to take a look?
Copy !req
377. Well, uh... Go right
ahead, lieutenant.
Copy !req
378. Your prisoners are
perfectly safe with me.
Copy !req
379. I wouldn't dream
of killing anyone
Copy !req
380. unless, of course,
they tried to get away.
Copy !req
381. I'm sure they'll
be perfectly safe.
Copy !req
382. And if you think of it,
while you're out there,
Copy !req
383. you might disconnect those wires
Copy !req
384. that are fastened
to that dynamite
Copy !req
385. that got stashed
under the stairway.
Copy !req
386. Somebody could pull that
switch and blow us to smithereens.
Copy !req
387. We'll take care of it, Mrs.
Horne. Don't you worry.
Copy !req
388. Help!
Copy !req
389. Help!
