Better get me a cab, though.Copy !req
115. I got one standing by.Copy !req
116. Good boy.Copy !req
117. You get to Baltimore at 1:50.Copy !req
118. But you got about
a 1-hour layoverCopy !req
119. for the Washington Limited.Copy !req
120. Miss Lane, why are
you flying to BaltimoreCopy !req
121. then taking a train
to Washington?Copy !req
122. The chief will want to know.Copy !req
123. I hope to get an
exclusive interviewCopy !req
124. with Jan Moleska's daughter.Copy !req
125. No kidding?Copy !req
126. She's on that Washington train.Copy !req
127. Golly!Copy !req
128. According to the news
clips, her dad's been killed.Copy !req
129. I know I'm following a wild tip,Copy !req
130. but it's worth a gamble.Copy !req
131. So long, Jim.Copy !req
132. Wait a minute!
Where'd you get the tip?Copy !req
133. The chief's going to ask me.Copy !req
134. From a monkey.Copy !req
135. Huh?Copy !req
136. Hey, Pepi.Copy !req
137. Go up there.Copy !req
138. Hello, Pepi.Copy !req
139. Blast you and that
stupid organ grinder!Copy !req
140. I'll show you what
I'm going to do to...Copy !req
141. There, there, Pepi.
I wouldn't hurt you.Copy !req
142. There you are,
Pepi. There you are.Copy !req
143. Okay, on your way, Pepi.Copy !req
144. Hey, Max!Copy !req
145. Yeah?Copy !req
146. That stupid organ grinderCopy !req
147. lost a message for me
about Moleska's daughter.Copy !req
148. Oh, that dumb jerk. Yeah.Copy !req
149. Fortunately, he read it and
remembered enough to pass it on.Copy !req
150. Say, a guy like that
could be dangerous.Copy !req
151. That's what I was thinking.Copy !req
152. I could be traced
through that organ grinder.Copy !req
153. He's waiting in the alley
downstairs. Get rid of him.Copy !req
154. Okay, boss.Copy !req
155. You sure we won't
need him no more?Copy !req
156. Frisch is on his way
over here by plane.Copy !req
157. I'll have that Moleska
formula tonight.Copy !req
158. Yeah, but... Get going.Copy !req
159. Okay.Copy !req
160. Well, go on.Copy !req
161. What did she tell you?Copy !req
162. Well, uh, she
said she had a tip.Copy !req
163. She said it was
pretty wild, but...Copy !req
164. Wild, eh? But she goes off
to Baltimore just the same.Copy !req
165. On the paper's money.Copy !req
166. Doesn't even
bother to consult me.Copy !req
167. Great Caesar's ghost!Copy !req
168. Now, wait a minute, chief.Copy !req
169. Lois is pretty solid. She may
be a little impulsive at times...Copy !req
170. Impulsive, eh?Copy !req
171. Well, she's been impulsive
around here for the last time.Copy !req
172. And that goes for you too, Kent.Copy !req
173. From here on in,Copy !req
174. nobody goes out on a story
until they've checked with me.Copy !req
175. You paste that in your hat too.Copy !req
176. Yes, sir.Copy !req
177. But I think I know
why Miss Lane went.Copy !req
178. I mean, I think I know
where she got her tip.Copy !req
179. I... I found this on her desk.Copy !req
180. Let's see that, Jim.Copy !req
181. Lois got this from the monkey.Copy !req
182. New schedule being followed."Copy !req
183. What is that? Where
did it come from?Copy !req
184. I told you. She got
it from the monkey.Copy !req
185. Are you crazy?Copy !req
186. Golly! She said
something about a monkey.Copy !req
187. I better get out there.Copy !req
188. Where? The Washington Limited.Copy !req
189. If this is on the level,
it's a whale of a story!Copy !req
190. I'll see you later, chief.
Kent! Come back here! Kent!Copy !req
191. Kent, that train's halfway
to Washington by now.Copy !req
192. Come back here.
How are you going to...Copy !req
193. Great Caesar's ghost!Copy !req
194. Has everybody around
here gone crazy?Copy !req
195. Good heavens!Copy !req
196. Porter. See if there's a
doctor on this train, and hurry!Copy !req
197. Miss Lane will
be all right, Superman.Copy !req
198. That's fine, doctor.Copy !req
199. What about Miss Moleska?Copy !req
200. Well, her condition is critical.Copy !req
201. Her skull has been fractured.Copy !req
202. I'd like to find the
man that did it.Copy !req
203. Will she regain consciousness?Copy !req
204. She should.Copy !req
205. There. She's coming to now.Copy !req
206. May I question her, doctor?Copy !req
207. Briefly.Copy !req
208. Miss Moleska.Copy !req
209. Who are you?Copy !req
210. Superman. I'm your friend.Copy !req
211. I have heard of you.Copy !req
212. You are good.Copy !req
213. The locket! It is gone!Copy !req
214. We'll find it for you later.Copy !req
215. But right now, I want...Copy !req
216. Father's formula
was in the locket.Copy !req
217. Formula?Copy !req
218. Yes.Copy !req
219. He was sure I...Copy !req
220. Oh, no. I must not talk.Copy !req
221. Only to the President.Copy !req
222. The locket was around your neck?Copy !req
223. You must find it, Superman.Copy !req
224. It is our only defense.Copy !req
225. Defense? Against what?Copy !req
226. You... You must find it.Copy !req
227. YouCopy !req
228. must...Copy !req
229. Must...Copy !req
230. She'll be all right.Copy !req
231. But she can't be
questioned anymore.Copy !req
232. May I take her to a hospital?Copy !req
233. She can't be moved right now.Copy !req
234. I'll take care of Miss
Moleska and Miss Lane.Copy !req
235. You find that locket.Copy !req
236. I'll certainly try.Copy !req
237. You say Superman couldn't
find the fellow on the train?Copy !req
238. No. I'm going to look
around some more, but...Copy !req
239. You are? I mean, Superman is.Copy !req
240. Meanwhile, call
Inspector Henderson.Copy !req
241. Tell him to try and pick
up that organ grinder.Copy !req
242. Better get our own
staff working on it too.Copy !req
243. Don't tell me what to do.Copy !req
244. Stop that, stop that.Copy !req
245. Wait a minute, Kent.Copy !req
246. "Tony Urmenti, organ grinder.Copy !req
247. "Body found Metropolis
River, foot of 24th Street.Copy !req
248. Knife wound in heart."Copy !req
249. Hmm.Copy !req
250. What is it, chief?Copy !req
251. You'd better get over
to the city morgueCopy !req
252. as quick as you can, Kent.Copy !req
253. I have a hunch the
story's blown up in our face.Copy !req
254. Well? Joe got the locket.Copy !req
255. The formula?Copy !req
256. In the locket.Copy !req
257. Good. Swell.Copy !req
258. Getaway okay?Copy !req
259. Duck soup.Copy !req
260. Joe's on the plane now.Copy !req
261. Ought to be here in
an hour, hour and a half.Copy !req
262. Well, as soon as the
organ grinder brings it...Copy !req
263. Oh, I forgot.Copy !req
264. No more organ grinder.Copy !req
265. Well, you'll have to meet
Joe for the pickup, then.Copy !req
266. I hate to do it.Copy !req
267. The cops know that mug of yours.Copy !req
268. Well, you've got
to do it anyway.Copy !req
269. I better get started.Copy !req
270. Call Frisch. You
know the number.Copy !req
271. Tell him to be here at
9:00 with the money.Copy !req
272. All of it.Copy !req
273. Every nickel.Copy !req
274. Well?Copy !req
275. It was our organ
grinder, all right.Copy !req
276. I thought so.Copy !req
277. Now what?Copy !req
278. I don't know, chief.Copy !req
279. Well, how about his family?Copy !req
280. Maybe one of them
might know something.Copy !req
281. Apparently he hasn't any family.Copy !req
282. Lived all alone in a basement
apartment on the West Side.Copy !req
283. Oh, fine.Copy !req
284. I wonder what's in that formula.Copy !req
285. She said it was a
defense against something.Copy !req
286. Atomic bombs!Copy !req
287. If it is...Copy !req
288. Kent, we've got to get it.Copy !req
289. The monkey.Copy !req
290. What?Copy !req
291. The organ grinder's monkey.Copy !req
292. It's probably at the
bottom of the river.Copy !req
293. I wonder.Copy !req
294. Anyhow, the monkey can't
talk. What's the difference?Copy !req
295. It might give us a lead.Copy !req
296. Chief, it was a
cute little animal.Copy !req
297. It had a Superman's costume on.Copy !req
298. Superman?Copy !req
299. That's right.Copy !req
300. A lot of people
must have noticed it.Copy !req
301. Look, chief.Copy !req
302. Let's put a special bulletin
in our news broadcastCopy !req
303. asking anyone who saw
the monkey to please call in.Copy !req

will come of it.Copy !req
305. But what can we lose? Go ahead.Copy !req
306. Yes, sir.Copy !req
307. Microfilm, huh?
For this, we get...Copy !req
308. Look out, dummy.Copy !req
309. For this we get
$200,000. Oh, not bad.Copy !req
310. This kind of work pays
better than the rackets!Copy !req

312. dressed in a Superman costumeCopy !req

323. Nothing. It got away.Copy !req
324. Got away how?Copy !req
325. When I caught up with Tony, see,Copy !req
326. I walked him down the alley
a-ways to where the car wasCopy !req
327. before I let him have it.Copy !req
328. While I was loading
him into the car,Copy !req
329. the monk scrammed.Copy !req
330. Scrammed where?Copy !req
331. I told you! Up the alley.Copy !req
332. It went over a fence.Copy !req
333. I wasn't going to chase

is any more than you do.Copy !req
339. Right. Goodbye.Copy !req

Energy Commission.Copy !req
344. They want that Moleska formula.Copy !req
345. Oh. So do I.Copy !req

347. Ferguson sent him out on a
story about an hour ago. Why?Copy !req
348. The rest of the
staff's gone home.Copy !req
349. I wanted Jim to stand by in case
anyone called about that monkey.Copy !req
350. I just made the news broadcast.Copy !req
351. There isn't a
chance in a millionCopy !req
352. anything will come of that.Copy !req
353. Perry White speaking.Copy !req
354. Hello, chief. I mean,
Mr. White. Is Mr. Kent there?Copy !req
355. Just a minute.Copy !req
356. Speak of the devil.Copy !req
357. Jim?Copy !req
358. Yeah.Copy !req
359. Hello, Jim.Copy !req
360. Listen, Mr. Kent.Copy !req
361. Here's a funny thing.Copy !req
362. A kid phoned the
office about an hour ago.Copy !req
363. He has one of our paper routes.Copy !req
364. He said there's a
monkey in his alley.Copy !req
365. What! Where was this?Copy !req
366. Out in the Maywood section.Copy !req
367. Ferguson thought it
might make a nice featureCopy !req
368. for the nature page
so he sent me out on it.Copy !req
369. Where, Jim? And get this!Copy !req
370. The monkey's wearing
a Superman costume.Copy !req
371. Listen to me, Jim. Exactly
where is that monkey?Copy !req
372. Behind the 1300 block on
Maywood Boulevard, in an alley.Copy !req
373. Where are you now?Copy !req
374. In a drugstore, corner of
13th Place and Maywood.Copy !req
375. You get back to that
monkey and hang onto him.Copy !req
376. Don't let him get away whatever
you do, do you understand?Copy !req
377. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
378. Okay, I'll be there
in a few minutes.Copy !req
379. Jim found the monkey.
Great Caesar's ghost!Copy !req

384. I ought to turn you
kids out to the cops.Copy !req
385. Go on, now. Scram!Copy !req
386. Scram, I said!Copy !req
387. Hey! Where are you
going with that monkey?Copy !req
388. What's it to you?Copy !req
389. It belongs to an organ

397. Yeah.Copy !req
398. Think they're
looking for us?Copy !req
399. I don't know.Copy !req
400. But you should never
have brought him in here.Copy !req
401. If you'd just had brains
enough to get rid of that monkey.Copy !req
402. I told you. He got away...Copy !req
403. Oh, idiot.Copy !req
404. You sure nobody
saw you lug him in?Copy !req
405. There was some kids
around but I chased them.Copy !req
406. Frisch said he'd be late, huh?Copy !req
407. He said about 10:00. He
has to wait for some guy.Copy !req
408. Well, maybe the cops
will be gone by then.Copy !req
409. You stay here and watch him.Copy !req
410. But keep clear of the window.Copy !req
411. Murphy, you and Jones
take the building on the corner.Copy !req
412. Rosen and Fry, take
