85. - You're Superman!
- Yes.Copy !req
86. - Where's Kathie?
- That's what I'd like to know.Copy !req
87. - I came to take her to the fair.

95. Don't pretend. You've taken her
someplace. You've taken her.Copy !req
96. - You're mistaken.
- Well. You won't get away with it.Copy !req
97. If any harm's come to Kathie. I'll...
I'm gonna get the police.Copy !req
98. Superman. Why did you carry me up
the fire escape? I thought you could fly.Copy !req
99. Why did we come here?
You promised to take me to the fair.Copy !req
100. Don't ask so many questions. Little girl.Copy !req
101. I don't think you're Superman at all.Copy !req
102. You don't talk like Superman.Copy !req
103. You don't act like Superman.Copy !req
104. You don't even look like Superman.Copy !req
105. Yeah? Is that so?Copy !req
106. You made it. Slugger. Good work.Copy !req
107. Kathie. I am your Aunt Marie.Copy !req
108. And this is your Uncle Marcel.Copy !req
109. - I don't have any aunts or uncles.
- Well. You do now. Little girl.Copy !req
110. You must be wondering why
we played this little joke on you.Copy !req
111. It is a surprise.Copy !req
112. We have some gifts for you.
And a birthday party. Cake and ice cream.Copy !req
113. The message. Get to the message.Copy !req
114. Oh. yes.Copy !req
115. Kathie. Dear. Yesterday a man called you up
on the telephone and left a message.Copy !req
116. It was all a mistake.Copy !req
117. He dialed the wrong number.
and the message was really meant for us.Copy !req
118. Can you remember what the man said?Copy !req
119. Oh. sure. He said.
“Look. They're after me. Gotta talk fast.“Copy !req
120. Good. Good. And then?Copy !req
121. Then he said. “The meeting's set
for 10:00 Saturday night.“Copy !req
122. Saturday. That is tomorrow.Copy !req
123. - Go on. dear.
- Go on?Copy !req
124. The rest of the message.Copy !req
125. Where did he say the meeting
was going to take place?Copy !req
126. Oh. that? I forget.Copy !req
127. You forget?Copy !req
128. What's the use of knowing the time
if we don't know where?Copy !req
129. Leave this to me. Marcel.
I will handle it.Copy !req
130. Do you think you might remember
after a while?Copy !req
131. I don't know. I wanna go home.Copy !req
132. Well. This is what we will do. Kathie.Copy !req
133. Stay here. Have the birthday party...Copy !req
134. and after you've finished
all that lovely cake and ice cream—Copy !req
135. - And remembered the rest of the message.
- And remembered the rest of the message.Copy !req
136. - We will have Slugger take you home.
- My mommy doesn't know where I'm at.Copy !req
137. - She'll be worried.
- We will call her up and explain.Copy !req
138. Slugger. You take care of that.
Tell her Kathie is safe and not to worry.Copy !req
139. Marcel. Get the ice cream.
I will get the cake.Copy !req
140. - I forget the number.
- What number?Copy !req
141. - The little girl's ma. You said to call and—
- You fool.Copy !req
142. Fool?Copy !req
143. That ain't nice.Copy !req
144. Listen to this from the Daily Blade.Copy !req
145. “It is now over 24 hours
since little Kathie Williams...Copy !req
146. was forcibly taken from her home
by Superman.Copy !req
147. What is being done to find her?Copy !req
148. Why is a rival newspaper
offering a reward...Copy !req
149. for any evidence
that will clear Superman?Copy !req
150. The Daily Blade has always stood
for decency and fair play...Copy !req
151. - Oh. that's all. I can't read any more.
- Don't take it to heart. Lois.Copy !req
152. We know Superman had nothing to do
with Kathie's disappearance.Copy !req
153. Of course. It was an imposter
dressed as Superman.Copy !req
154. But when I read this rubbish.
I get so mad I could—Copy !req
155. Come in.Copy !req
156. - Can I help you?
- My name's Perkins.Copy !req
157. I've come about the reward.
They told me outside that—Copy !req
158. - Oh. yes. Mr. Perkins, won't you sit down.
- Thank you.Copy !req
159. I'm the clerk at the tobacco store
where that fella was shot the other day.Copy !req
160. Cusak? Well. I was sweeping the floor...Copy !req
161. and I found a piece of paper
with a phone number on it.Copy !req
162. Well. I figured that that was the number
that Cusak was calling when he was shot.Copy !req
163. Excuse me. but exactly what
has this got to do with Superman?Copy !req
164. Well. I'm coming to that.Copy !req
165. You see. This piece of paper
with the phone number on it, I—Copy !req
166. Yes. may I see it?Copy !req
167. Well. I don't exactly have it right now.Copy !req
168. You see. A man and a woman came
in the store and I was showing it to them...Copy !req
169. - ... and they took it when I wasn't looking.
- Go on.Copy !req
170. I remember the number. Though.
It was Avondale 3741.Copy !req
171. Well. I got kind of curious. So I called
this number and a woman answered.Copy !req
172. I found out
it was where this little girl lives...Copy !req
173. this Kathie Williams that Superman's
supposed to have taken.Copy !req
174. - Have you been to the police about this?
- No.Copy !req
175. No. I didn't think nothing about it
until I read about Superman and the reward.Copy !req
176. Can you describe the man and woman?Copy !req
177. Well. The man was kind of ordinary-looking.
with a little moustache.Copy !req
178. And the woman. She was kind of plain.Copy !req
179. They both talked with an accent.
French. I think.Copy !req
180. You know. Now that I come to think of it.
she called him Marcel.Copy !req
181. Marcel.Copy !req
182. It's a French name. All right. I wonder.
Excuse me.Copy !req
183. Get me the FBI. please. Craig Roberts.Copy !req
184. - What is it, Clark?
- Just a hunch.Copy !req
185. - Well. The reward. When do l...?
- Oh. yes. Mr. Perkins. Of course.Copy !req
186. Mind sticking around
until I've checked with the FBI?Copy !req
187. No. No. I guess not.Copy !req
188. Clark. I'm going over to Mrs. Williams'.Copy !req
189. This story should convince her Superman
had nothing to do with Kathie's abduction.Copy !req
190. - It'll be here if you need me.
- Right.Copy !req
191. Kathie. Dear. Please. Please try to
remember the rest of the message.Copy !req
192. - I can't.
- If you will only try real hard...Copy !req
193. I've been trying all day.
and all day yesterday.Copy !req
194. I don't like it here. I wanna go home.Copy !req
195. But why? Haven't we been nice to you?
Look at all these toys.Copy !req
196. If there is anything you want.
anything at all...Copy !req
197. I wanna go home.Copy !req
198. I got a football...Copy !req
199. boxing gloves and a baseball outfit.Copy !req
200. - She's a girl, idiot.
- Yeah. I know.Copy !req
201. Also. I got a doll.Copy !req
202. It says “Mama.“Copy !req
203. I don't like it.Copy !req
204. What do you mean?
I picked it out special for you.Copy !req
205. It's no good.
Any old doll can say “Mama.“Copy !req
206. My doll can sing.Copy !req
207. I want my own doll.
I wanna go home.Copy !req
208. Marcel. Do you think
if we got her own doll for her...?Copy !req
209. You mean go to her house?Copy !req
210. - That's too dangerous.
- Of course it is.Copy !req
211. But what else can we do?
She's got to remember the meeting place...Copy !req
212. if we are to be there tonight
and stop Larue from delivering the plates.Copy !req
213. The doll might work. At that.Copy !req
214. Slugger. Look after Kathie.
We'll be back in a little while.Copy !req
215. Here it is.Copy !req
216. Who are you? What do you want?Copy !req
217. Well. I'm a reporter from the Daily Planet.
I had an appointment with Mrs. Williams.Copy !req
218. - Go on.
- Well. I just wanted to tell her...Copy !req
219. that we're doing all we can.
To find Kathie. That is.Copy !req
220. Kathie's her little girl. She's missing.Copy !req
221. Been missing for a day or so.Copy !req
222. Well. I guess I came a little early.Copy !req
223. Let's get out of here. Fast.Copy !req
224. - You're sure? There's no question?
- Nope. That's them. All right.Copy !req
225. - Now do I get the reward?
- Yes. Mr. Perkins. Now you get the reward.Copy !req
226. Marcel and Marie Duval. Eh?
Where did you get these?Copy !req
227. The FBI. Craig Roberts sent them over.Copy !req
228. They're French counterfeiters.
They hired a man named Larue...Copy !req
229. to steal two 1000-franc plates
from the Bank of France.Copy !req
230. - Did he?
- He did. But he double-crossed those two.Copy !req
231. He brought the plates to America.Copy !req
232. The FBI figures he plans
to sell them to Big Jim Hanlon.Copy !req
233. Wait a minute. This little punk. Cusak.
who was shot in the phone booth...Copy !req
234. didn't I hear someone say
one of Hanlon's boys rubbed him out?Copy !req
235. Right. Cusak was working
for them. The Duvals.Copy !req
236. He probably found out where Larue
was to deliver the plates to Hanlon.Copy !req
237. He tried to call the Duvals.
but he got the wrong number.Copy !req
238. Kathie Williams' number.Copy !req
239. A second later he was dead.Copy !req
240. It's all beginning to fit.Copy !req
241. These characters thought Cusak had given
the message to Kathie. So they grabbed her.Copy !req
242. Right. Someone in a fake
Superman outfit.Copy !req
243. They might be torturing the poor kid.
beating it out of her.Copy !req
244. - Kent. She's crippled. We've got to—
- Clark. Chief. I—Copy !req
245. - Great Caesar's ghost!
- I just saw the man and the woman.Copy !req
246. - You mean these two. The Duvals?
- Yes.Copy !req
247. They were snooping in Kathie's apartment.
I followed their cab.Copy !req
248. But I got caught at a light
and they got away.Copy !req
249. - What cab?
- A United.Copy !req
250. Excuse me. chief.Copy !req
251. Miss Bachrach, will you get me
the United Cab Company? Thank you.Copy !req
252. - How long ago was this?
- About 10 minutes ago.Copy !req
253. Ten minutes ago.Copy !req
254. - Where did they pick up that cab?
- At a stand outside the apartment building.Copy !req
255. Hello. This is Clark Kent. Daily Planet.Copy !req
256. Yes. One of your drivers picked up
a couple of fares on Hill Street.Copy !req
257. Yes. I'd like to contact him.Copy !req
258. I see. Will you have him call me
the minute he does? It's important.Copy !req
259. That's right, Kent. K-E-N-T. Thanks.Copy !req
260. The driver hasn't reported in yet.Copy !req
261. We might as well
make ourselves comfortable.Copy !req
262. All we can do is wait.Copy !req
263. And so the tin soldier
stood straight and stiff from that time on.Copy !req
264. - You like that story. Little girl?
- Yes. And you know something?Copy !req
265. - What?
- I like you.Copy !req
266. I like you too. Little girl.Copy !req
267. Mr. Slugger. You're not really a bad man.Copy !req
268. - Why don't you take me home?
- Well. Now. that wouldn't be right.Copy !req
269. I know. You're just afraid of them.Copy !req
270. Afraid. Me? I ain't afraid of nobody.Copy !req
271. Didn't I tell you about the time I went
20 rounds with Terrible Tommy O'Toole?Copy !req
272. If that ref hadn't been blind as a bat.
I'd have—Copy !req
273. Then you will take me home. Mr. Slugger?
You're not afraid?Copy !req
274. Me. afraid? I ain't afraid of nobody.
Climb aboard.Copy !req
275. Where do you think you're going?Copy !req
276. I'm just gonna take the little girl home.Copy !req
277. Get back into the room.Copy !req
278. I've been patient. Marie.
I've let you handle this your way.Copy !req
279. With no results.
The toys. The doll, nothing's worked.Copy !req
280. It's 9:30. We only have half an hour
to get the information out of her.Copy !req
281. Now I'll take over.Copy !req
282. You remember, all right.Copy !req
283. You're just being stubborn.Copy !req
284. Well. I know how to handle
stubborn children.Copy !req

291. - The girl. Don't you think we ought to...?
- Oh. she's no problem. She can't walk.Copy !req
292. But just to make sure...Copy !req
293. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Don't do that.Copy !req
294. Yes?Copy !req
295. - Yes. he's here. Clark. The cab driver.

299. Thank you.
Call Inspector Henderson.Copy !req
300. Tell him to meet us there. Come on. Lois.Copy !req

306. - Clark. Where you going?

307. I mean. I've got to find him.Copy !req
308. - Are you going to arrest Mr. Slugger?
- Have to. Kathie.Copy !req
309. But I'll do what I can
to see he gets off lightly.Copy !req
310. He's really not a bad man.Copy !req
311. Hanlon?Copy !req
312. - Hanlon could not make it, Larue.

314. You were supposed to deliver those plates
to us in Paris two months ago.Copy !req
315. - Marcel. If you'll let me explain. I—
- It's too late for explanations now.Copy !req
316. - Give Marie the plates.
- I don't have them. Marcel.Copy !req
317. You lie.Copy !req
318. - You came here to deliver them to Hanlon.
- No. I do not have them.Copy !req
319. I will shoot you down like a dog.Copy !req
320. Okay. Hanlon. Get them up. All of you.Copy !req
321. What's your hurry. Lady?
You're not going anywhere.Copy !req
