Copy !req
82. - Good boy.
- You get to Baltimore at 1:50...
Copy !req

Copy !req
85. - The chief will wanna know.
- I hope to get an interview...
Copy !req
86. with Jan Moleska's daughter.
She's on that Washington train.
Copy !req
87. Golly. According to the news clips.
her dad's been killed.
Copy !req
88. I know I'm following a wild tip.
but it's worth a gamble. So long. Jim.
Copy !req
89. Wait a minute. Where did you get the tip?
The chief's gonna ask me.
Copy !req
90. From a monkey.
Copy !req
91. Pepi. Go up there.
Copy !req
92. Hello. Pepi.
Copy !req
93. Blast you and that stupid organ grinder.
I'll show you what I'm gonna do to you—
Copy !req
94. There. There. Pepi. I wouldn't hurt you.
Copy !req
95. There you are. Pepi. There you are.
Copy !req
96. Okay. On your way. Pepi.
Copy !req
97. Hey. Max.
Copy !req
98. - Yeah?
- That stupid organ grinder lost a message...
Copy !req
99. - ... for me about Moleska's daughter.
- The dumb jerk.
Copy !req
100. Fortunately. He read it
and remembered enough to pass it on.
Copy !req
101. - Guy like that's dangerous.
- Just what I was thinking.
Copy !req
102. I could be traced through
that organ grinder.
Copy !req
103. - He's waiting in the alley. Get rid of him.
- Okay. Boss.
Copy !req
104. - You sure we won't need him no more?
- Frisch is on his way over by plane.
Copy !req
105. - It'll have that Moleska formula tonight.
- But—
Copy !req
106. - Get going-
- Okay.
Copy !req
107. Well. Go on. What did she tell you?
Copy !req
108. Well. She said she had a tip.
She said it was pretty wild. But—
Copy !req
109. Wild. Eh? But she goes off to Baltimore
just the same. On the paper's money.
Copy !req
110. Doesn't even bother to consult me.
Great Caesar's ghost—
Copy !req
111. Wait a minute. Chief. Lois is pretty solid.
She may be impulsive at times—
Copy !req
112. Impulsive? She's been impulsive
around here for the last time.
Copy !req
113. And that goes for you too. Kent.
From here on in...
Copy !req
114. nobody goes out on a story
until they check with me.
Copy !req
115. - You paste that on your hat too.
- Yes. sir. But I know why Miss Lane went.
Copy !req
116. I mean. I think I know where she got
her tip. I found this on her desk.
Copy !req
117. Let's see that. Jim.
Lois got this from the monkey.
Copy !req
118. “Plane landed Philadelphia because
of fog in Metropolis.
Copy !req
119. Jan Moleska's daughter taking
Washington Limited noon today. 24th.
Copy !req
120. New schedule being followed.“
Copy !req
121. - What is that? Where did it come from?
- She got it from the monkey.
Copy !req
122. - Are you crazy?
- Golly. She said something about a monkey.
Copy !req
123. I better get out there to the
Washington Limited. It's a whale of a story.
Copy !req
124. - It'll see you later. Chief.
- Kent. Come back here. Kent!
Copy !req
125. Kent. That train is halfway to Washington
by now. How are you going to—?
Copy !req
126. Great Caesar's ghost!
Has everybody around here gone crazy?
Copy !req
127. Good heavens.
Copy !req
128. Porter. See if there's a doctor
on this train. And hurry.
Copy !req
129. - Miss Lane will be all right, Superman.
- That's fine. Doctor.
Copy !req
130. - What about Miss Moleska?
- Well. Her condition is critical.
Copy !req
131. - Her skull has been fractured.
- I'd like to find the man that did it.
Copy !req
132. - Will she regain consciousness?
- She should.
Copy !req
133. There. She's coming to now.
Copy !req
134. - May I question her, doctor?
- Briefly.
Copy !req
135. Miss Moleska.
Copy !req
136. - Who are you?
- Superman.
Copy !req
137. I'm your friend.
Copy !req
138. I have heard of you.
Copy !req
139. You are good.
Copy !req
140. The locket. It is gone.
Copy !req
141. - We'll find it for you later. But right now—
- Father's formula was in the locket.
Copy !req
142. - Formula?
- Yes.
Copy !req
143. He was sure I—
Copy !req
144. No. I must not talk.
Copy !req
145. - Only to the president.
- The locket was around your neck?
Copy !req
146. You must find it. Superman.
It is the only defense.
Copy !req
147. Defense? Against what?
Copy !req
148. You must find it.
Copy !req
149. You must...
Copy !req
150. She'll be all right.
but she can't be questioned anymore.
Copy !req
151. - May I take her to a hospital?
- She can't be moved right now.
Copy !req
152. It'll take care of Miss Moleska
and Miss Lane. You find that locket.
Copy !req
153. It'll certainly try.
Copy !req
154. You say Superman couldn't find
the fellow on the train?
Copy !req
155. - No. I'm gonna look around more. But—
- You are?
Copy !req
156. I mean. Superman is.
Meanwhile. Call Inspector Henderson.
Copy !req
157. Tell him to pick up that organ grinder.
Copy !req
158. - We better get our own staff working on it.
- Don't tell me what to do. Stop that.
Copy !req
159. Wait a minute, Kent.
Copy !req
160. “Tony Urmenti. Organ grinder.
Copy !req
161. Body found. Metropolis River.

Copy !req
162. Knife wound in heart.“
Copy !req
163. - What is it, chief?
- Get to the city morgue as quick as you can.
Copy !req
164. I have a hunch the story
has blown up in our face.
Copy !req
165. - Well?
- Joe got the locket.
Copy !req
166. - The formula?
- In the locket.
Copy !req
167. - Good. Swell. Get away okay?
- Duck soup.
Copy !req
168. Joe's on the plane now. Ought to be here
in an hour. Hour and a half.
Copy !req
169. As soon as the organ grinder brings it—
Oh. I forgot.
Copy !req
170. - No more organ grinder.
- You'll have to meet Joe then.
Copy !req
171. I hate to do it, the cops know that mug
of yours. Well, you've gotta do it anyway.
Copy !req
172. - I better get started.
- Call Frisch, you know the number.
Copy !req
173. Tell him to be here at 9:00
with the money. All of it.
Copy !req
174. Every nickel.
Copy !req
175. - Well?
- It was our organ grinder. All right.
Copy !req
176. - I thought so.
- Now what?
Copy !req
177. - I don't know. Chief.
- Well. How about his family?
Copy !req
178. - One of them might know something.
- Apparently. He has no family.
Copy !req
179. Lived alone in a basement apartment
on the west side.
Copy !req
180. Oh. fine.
Copy !req
181. I wonder what's in that formula.
Copy !req
182. She said it was a defense
against something.
Copy !req
183. - Atomic bombs.
- If it is...
Copy !req
184. Kent. We've got to get it.
Copy !req
185. - The monkey.
- What?
Copy !req
186. - The organ grinder's monkey.
- It's probably at the bottom of the river.
Copy !req
187. - I wonder.
- The monkey can't talk. What's it matter?
Copy !req
188. It might give us a lead. It was a cute little
animal. It had a Superman's costume on.
Copy !req
189. - Superman?
- Right. A lot of people must have noticed it.
Copy !req
190. Put a special bulletin on our news broadcast
asking anyone who saw the monkey...
Copy !req
191. - ... to please call in.
- I doubt that anything will come of it.
Copy !req
192. - But what can we lose? Go ahead.
- Yes. sir.
Copy !req
193. - Microfilm. Huh? For this. We get—
- Look out. Dummy.
Copy !req
194. - For this we get $200,000.
- Not bad.
Copy !req
195. - This work pays better than the rackets.
- Quiet.
Copy !req
196. “Brown monkey dressed in a Superman
costume, answering to the name "Pepi"...

- What did you do with the monkey?
Copy !req
202. - Nothing. It got away.
- Got away. How?
Copy !req
203. When I caught up with Tony. See.
I walked him down the alley a ways...
Copy !req
204. to where the car was before I let him
have it. I was loading him into the car...
Copy !req
205. - ... the monk scrammed.
- Where?
Copy !req
206. I told you. Up the alley.
It went over a fence.
Copy !req
207. I wasn't gonna chase it
with a stiff in the car. What for?
Copy !req
208. - What for? What for?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
209. Find that monkey.
Find it. and get rid of it.
Copy !req
210. I will. If I see him. But I don't know where
he is any more than you do. Right.
Copy !req
211. - Goodbye.

about an hour ago. Why?
Copy !req
217. The rest of the staff has gone home.
and I wanted Jim to stand by...
Copy !req
218. in case anyone called
about that monkey.
Copy !req
219. There isn't a chance in a million
anything will come of that.
Copy !req
220. - Perry White speaking.
- Hello. Chief. I mean, Mr. White.
Copy !req

He has one of our paper routes.
Copy !req
225. - He said there's a monkey in his alley.
- What? Where was this?
Copy !req
226. The Maywood section. Ferguson thought it
might be a feature for the nature page...
Copy !req
227. - ... so he sent me out on it.
- Where?
Copy !req
228. And get this. The monkey's wearing
a Superman costume.
Copy !req
229. Listen to me. Jim.

orders to watch that monkey. Give it here.

- I will not.
Copy !req
244. A wise guy. Huh?
Copy !req
245. - Look at those cops down there.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
246. Think they're looking for us?
Copy !req
247. I don't know. But you should never
have brought him in here.
Copy !req
248. If you had brains enough
to get rid of that monkey.
Copy !req
249. - I told you. He got away.
- Oh. idiot.
Copy !req
250. - You sure nobody saw you lug him in?
- There were kids around. But I chased them.
Copy !req
251. - Frisch said he'd be late?
- He said about 10.
Copy !req
252. - He has to wait for some guy.
