1. Faster than a speeding bullet.

2. More powerful than a locomotive.

3. Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.

4. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird!

5. It's a plane! It's Superman!

6. Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet

7. who came to Earth with powers and abilities

8. far beyond those of mortal men.

9. Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers,

10. bend steel in his bare hands,

11. and who, disguised as Clark Kent,

12. mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,

13. fights a never-ending battle

14. for truth, justice and the American way.

15. And now, another exciting episode

16. in the Adventures of Superman!

17. You're late.

18. Yeah, I know.

19. There were a few customers in the shop. I couldn't get away.

20. Have a drink. No, thanks.

21. All right, let's get down to business.

22. Did you check the tunnel?

23. All right, you don't need to be frightened.

24. Not with that jukebox, right?

25. Nobody will ever hear you.

26. I went through the tunnel this morning.

27. Let's make sure of this.

28. Here's a map I drew according to what that guy told me.

29. This is where you live.

30. Now, according to this guy,

31. there's a stairway down from the back room of your place

32. into the tunnel,

33. then another stairway up from the tunnel

34. to the second floor of the old man's house.

35. There's a ladder leading downward

36. from the back room of my place

37. and a stairway leading up to Lu Sung's apartment.

38. The tunnel runs under the street,

39. but it's not straight, as you have it here.

40. There are curves in it.

41. It's clear, though, so we can get through it?

42. Oh, yes.

43. There are still some candles in the stone niches in the walls

44. in case we need light.

45. All right.

46. Now, let's get this caper straight.

47. We pull this job tomorrow at 3:00, right?

48. Yes.

49. Don't like these daylight jobs.

50. They're dangerous.

51. But that's the only time, like I told you.

52. Lu Sung keeps the Kuan-yin jade

53. under lock and key in his apartment,

54. but tomorrow afternoon

55. he's invited some newspaper reporters over.

56. Undoubtedly, he'll show them the jade.

57. That will be the time.

58. All right.

59. I'll bring the pineapple over to your place about 2:30.

60. You sure there'll be no trouble?

61. Trouble?

62. Not a chance.

63. It's a cinch.

64. Well, I wouldn't want anybody to get hurt.

65. Hurt? Who's gonna get hurt?

66. The shop will be closed up, won't it?

67. All we want to do is to get him downstairs,

68. so we can duck through the tunnel,

69. get up to the old man's apartment, grab the jade.

70. Clean and simple.

71. Nobody will get hurt.

72. Nobody but Lu Sung.

73. Now, don't start worrying about him.

74. You said he was gonna give it away anyway.

75. I know, but giving it to a museum

76. is a lot different than having it stolen.

77. It ain't gonna do nobody any good sitting in a museum.

78. This way, you get a chance

79. to lay your hands on a potful of dough.

80. Enough to start you and this niece of his off right.

81. What about that?

82. If I didn't feel the Kuan-yin jade belonged to Lily,

83. I would have no part of this.

84. Sure, you got a good reason.

85. Matter of fact, you're not even stealing it

86. if it belongs to her.

87. She's your girl, you're gonna marry her.

88. Right in the family.

89. It's not as simple as all that.

90. It's still stealing.

91. But I said I'd do it, and I will.

92. You got nothing to worry about.

93. I'll have a lot to worry about, but that's my business.

94. Now, look, kid.

95. Don't start getting the shakes.

96. I told you, you've got nothing to worry about.

97. We'll get in there so fast and grab that jade

98. that they won't know what's happened.

99. No cops, no guns, no nothing.

100. Are we finished?

101. Long as you got it straight.

102. Well, you come to my place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.

103. That's all I have to know.

104. All right.

105. Get a good night's sleep. Stop worrying.

106. This'll be like taking candy from a baby.

107. Yeah. Goodnight.

108. Kuan-yin.

109. Goddess of peace.

110. Nobody around. It's Sunday afternoon.

111. Go on, set the fuse.

112. Hold it. Somebody's coming.

113. Isn't she lovely, Mr. Kent?

114. Beautiful, sir.

115. Tea, Miss Lane? Please.

116. And I wish you'd call me Lois.

117. Mr. Kent?

118. Oh, no, thank you. No tea for me.

119. Uncle? Please.

120. It must be priceless.

121. Very nearly.

122. The jade is of gem quality and weighs almost 1000 carats.

123. It has been in my family for more than two centuries.

124. I value it at... half a million dollars.

125. But then, I didn't ask you here

126. to impress you with my seeming wealth.

127. I have for you

128. what I believe is called in the newspaper profession

129. "a scoop of news."

130. A news scoop.

131. Yes. A news scoop.

132. It is this.

133. As a small token of my appreciation

134. for everything this great country, the United States,

135. has done for me and my people,

136. tomorrow at noon, I leave for Washington

137. to present the Kuan-yin to the National Art Museum.

138. How wonderful.

139. This is a scoop.

140. Lu Sung, I'm proud and happy to know you.

141. Light it.

142. We'll have a photographer come down first thing in the morning

143. and get some pictures.

144. Something exploded down in your shop!

145. Oh, I'm so frightened!

146. There's nothing to be frightened about now, Lily.

147. Fortunately, none of us were hurt.

148. Pieces of a homemade bomb.

149. How did it happen?

150. A bomb.

151. Oh! Clark, shouldn't we notify the police?

152. Yes. Call Henderson.

153. The telephone is over here.

154. Police headquarters, please.

155. There it is. Grab it!

156. We've gotta take her with us.

157. No!

158. She saw us.

159. Hold that thing open.

160. Now, wait a minute, Miss Lane. Let me get that straight.

161. The name is Lu Sung. L-U, capital S, U-N-G.

162. Owns an art and curio shop at 55... That's...

163. Five-five Cherry Street.

164. Someone tossed a bomb through the window of his shop.

165. Uh, when did this happen?

166. Oh, 10 minutes ago, huh?

167. That's 3:05.

168. Any witnesses?

169. No, eh? Anyone hurt?

170. Oh, I see.

171. Hold on a minute, Miss Lane.

172. Yes?

173. Car 407 reporting explosion in Chinese art shop, inspector.

174. Hold it, Donovan.

175. Hang on, Miss Lane.

176. We're getting a patrol car report on it right now.

177. I'll be right back with you.

178. Go ahead, Donovan.

179. Come on, come on. Get up!

180. Lily!

181. She's fainted!

182. You didn't have to do this!

183. Don't be a fool. She saw us!

184. Okay, Donovan, send out a 33 emergency

185. and tell Hill to have two men from the bomb squad ready

186. to leave with me immediately.

187. Yes, sir.

188. All right, Miss Lane.

189. I'm coming down there with two men from the bomb squad.

190. Thank you, Inspector Henderson.

191. He'll be down in a few minutes

192. with two men from the bomb squad.

193. Don't worry.

194. Inspector Henderson's on his way down.

195. Oh, good.

196. How can you find anything in this rubble?

197. Found this much.

198. Couldn't have been a very big bomb.

199. Big enough.

200. Lu Sung, what is this?

201. What happened?

202. A bomb was thrown through the window.

203. That must have been what woke me up.

204. I was taking a nap.

205. I live across the street.

206. This is the manager of my shop, Harry Wong.

207. Miss Lane, Mr. Kent of the Metropolis Daily Planet.

208. How do you do?

209. This is a terrible thing.

210. Who could have done it?

211. Whoever did it should be drawn and quartered.

212. I think I'll run up and see how Lily is.

213. I will go with you.

214. Mr. Wong, I don't suppose you have any idea

215. who might have done this?

216. If I searched my mind for a century,

217. it would do no good.

218. Lu Sung has no enemies.

219. He's the most beloved man in all of Chinatown.

220. Ask any of them.

221. So many beautiful things broken, shattered.

222. Can you estimate the loss, Mr. Wong?

223. That would be difficult.

224. Fortunately, the one piece of great value

225. the Kuan-yin jade,

226. Lu Sung has always kept under lock and key in his apartment.

227. However, there is...

228. Clark, come up here, quickly!

229. What happened?

230. She isn't anywhere in the apartment.

231. Who isn't? Lily. Lu Sung's niece.

232. When I went downstairs, I left her on the couch.

233. When Lu Sung and I got back up here, she was gone

234. and so was the Kuan-yin jade.

235. What happened, Mr. Kent?

236. The Kuan-yin jade is missing.

237. And so is Mr. Sung's niece.

238. Excuse me. I better go down.

239. Look, inspector, you've got to be reasonable about this.

240. What do you mean, "reasonable"?

241. If Wong's a suspect, let's question him.

242. What are playing, cops and robbers?

243. You don't seem to understand

244. there's more to this than just a simple robbery.

245. You're telling me. Look at that mess!

246. I don't mean about the bomb. Lu Sung's niece may be involved.

247. So what?

248. Good grief!

249. When the department doesn't solve a crime

250. in eight minutes flat,

251. the newspapers, yours included,

252. cut me into ribbons, and now you...

253. Wait a minute. Here he comes.

254. Mr. Wong, I'd like to have you meet Inspector Henderson.

255. How do you do?

256. Mr. Wong is the manager of this shop.

257. Lu Sung obviously is in good hands.

258. I'm going to get the clerks to help me clean up

259. and save what can be saved.

260. Well, can't you use the phone?

261. They have no telephones.

262. I don't know...

263. I think that's all right, inspector.

264. Mr. Wong will be glad to answer all your questions

265. when he returns, won't you, Mr. Wong?

266. Most certainly, sir.

267. Okay.

268. Thank you.

269. Did you notice the bamboo dust on his shirt?

270. I wouldn't know bamboo dust from goober feathers.

271. Well, here's some.

272. And there's plenty more in that box upstairs.

273. Now, Wong had no opportunity to get any of this stuff on him

274. unless he was carrying that jade figurine.

275. The problem is, how did he get to it?

276. I'll lay you 10-1 the girl's involved.

277. You could be right at that.

278. Come on, let's go on up.

279. You don't have to be afraid of me, girlie.

280. Lily.

281. Don't touch me!

282. The Kuan-yin belongs to you.

283. You are Lu Sung's only living relative.

284. He had no right giving it to a museum.

285. Thief!

286. No, Lily!

287. The Kuan-yin belongs to you by heritage.

288. I did it only to get money so we could get married and go away.

289. Come on, she'll get over it.

290. You're responsible for this!

291. You said there'd be no trouble,

292. that you'd pay me and go even before the police arrived.

293. Did I know that she was gonna be in the room?

294. What did you wanna do?

295. Leave her there to tip the cops

296. and spill the whole story?

297. Then pay me and go. I've had enough of this.

298. I'll pay you when I get this thing where it's safe.

299. But you promised to pay me on delivery!

300. That's before she messed up the caper.

301. I gotta get this thing where I can sell it, don't I?

302. What good is it...? Then give it back.

303. I'll return it and confess.

304. It's too late for that now, sonny boy.

305. Give it back!

306. Let's face it, your niece must be mixed up in this. It figures.

307. I will not believe it.

308. Then where is she? People just don't disappear.

309. Inspector, I don't see the point in all this.

310. Oh, you don't, eh?

311. Someone tosses a bomb through a window,

312. a statue worth a half a million bucks disappears,

313. and you don't see any point in it.

314. Now, wait just a minute...

315. Now, suppose you stick to your reporting, Kent,

316. and I'll take care of the police work.

317. Or would you like my badge?

318. All I'm trying to tell you is...

319. I know what you're trying to say.

320. You've already said too much.

321. You talked me into letting that Wong character get out of here.

322. He's been gone 15 minutes.

323. Where did he live?

324. Harry Wong? Yes.

325. Across the street. Number 17.

326. Don't anybody leave. I'm not through.

327. Mind if I come with you, inspector?

328. What good would it do if I did?

329. The police! Open up!

330. Let me try, inspector.

331. No one in there.

332. Hey, I hear something.

333. What is it?

334. Be right back.

335. Lily couldn't have done it, Lois.

336. She just couldn't.

337. Of course she didn't.

338. The Kuan-yin!

339. Why, you dirty... Shut up!

340. You'll get the same thing, maybe worse.

341. Now, lead the way downstairs.

342. And remember, I'm right behind you.

343. Go on.

344. Go on!

345. Turn left when you get out of the store.

346. Don't bleat, or I'll kill you.

347. Move. Move!

348. Stand back, please!

349. What's going on here?

350. Good grief!

351. Inspector, you better have someone get down there

352. and shut off that water.

353. What's the matter?

354. Miss Lane!

355. Hey!

356. Don't come in here, or I'll shoot her!

357. Get more men.

358. No, we can handle this.

359. Just keep the crowd back.

360. Go ahead. Move them back.

361. All right. Come on!

362. Don't worry, Miss Lane.

363. We'll get you out of this!

364. He's got the Kuan-yin jade!

365. I'll make a deal with you. No deals!

366. Come out with your hands up!

367. Wait a minute!

368. What's your deal?

369. Don't make any deals with him.

370. He may have killed Lu Sung. Shut up!

371. I'll give up the jade and let her walk out

372. if I go free.

373. Is he kidding?

374. Hold it.

375. We'll have to think it over!

376. You've got five minutes.

377. Watch him!

378. Who's the guy in the circus suit?

379. He's Superman.

380. This time he's not so super, is he?

381. Wait and see.

382. Who told you about the underground tunnel, Wong?

383. Well, I knew about the tunnel

384. because I knew about the trap door in my apartment.

385. But I didn't know where it led.

386. In the days of the Tong wars,

387. all Chinatown had underground tunnels, inspector.

388. But I've been living in this house for 16 years

389. and did not know of this one,

390. nor the sliding wall.

391. Who told you where the tunnel led, Wong?

392. Greer.

393. He learned about it from the man who built this house.

394. He also learned that the tunnel could be flooded with water.

395. What did Greer plan to do with the jade statue?

396. He said he'd take it to England and sell it.

397. How much were you supposed to get?

398. I'm too ashamed to even talk about it.

399. I'll write everything out, and I'll sign it.

400. Now, please take me out of here.

401. Sit down, Wong.

402. You'll testify against Greer, won't you?

403. I'll do anything you wish.

404. Anything to make amends to Lu Sung, to Lily

405. and to myself.

406. Look at me, Wong.

407. I'm gonna do something I've never done

408. in 20 years on the police force.

409. I'm going to act as the judge and the jury.

410. I'm not going to arrest you.

411. Why, inspector!

412. What are you trying to do, become a Superman?
