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