Welcome to the Old time radio Superman Show from Boise Otta Home. This is
your host, Adam Graham. If you have a comment, email it to
me Adam adamsweb dot us. Today we're going to get into the penultimate episode
of the Ten Men's serial, the last episode coming up for you on Wednesday.
Of course, as we stated last Wednesday, there is a lost episode,
so no part twelve, but we're going to go ahead and bring you
the Ten Men Part thirteen original air date January twentieth, nineteen forty three,
and then on Wednesday, lesten for Part fourteen from January twenty first of nineteen
forty three. But let's go ahead now and take a lesson to Superman able
to recall buildings for the single pound guy. Yes, this Superman, strange
visitor from another world who came to work with powers and abilities far beyond those
of bottle men. Superman who can change the cause of mighty rivers, bend
the steel in his bare hands, and who disguised as far Kent mild maned
reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth,
justice, and the American Way. But before we joined Superman, here is
an important methode the gang. Have you heard the exciting story of the Coastguards
whose lives were saved by a lot of pigs? Was there? It actually
happened. These Coastguards were engaged in landing operations off the African coast. The
sea was very rough, awful, and then we planted all our troops and
equipments. Let's get back to our base. Give it a jupanan, I
can't under we're looking badly if it is, Oh my gosh, both propellers
of us to clean up. We're finished now, all right? Uh huh.
I will just go ashore and kept up with the arm and troops over
there. On my fellas, any fam there's an enemy before we're heading this
way. Come on into the shed, Henry, Henry, we're in a
peacetin. It's too dard to same, but our benthetas least a dozen pigs
in here right next to us. That perfect. They'll ever find us here.
Come on, get her one in this corner and pull us toll here.
Well. Five long days those two Coastguards lived in the pig penny.
Finally, the tom was surrendered to American troops and they emerged too full of
fight and energy. Now, Gang, those two coast guards might not have
been able to survive their tough experiences if they hadn't been in a one condition,
but they were. They had plenty of real stamina. And while we're
on the subject of stamina I want to get of all of you are really
helpful suggestions. None of you can expect to grow up sturdy and strong unless
you eat right, which includes getting all your vitamins. And I can't think
of a better way to start getting two very valuable vitamins D one and D
than by sitting down to a twelve big ball full of crisp delicious Kellard's Pets
for breakfast every morning. And boy o boy, are those crunchy girls in
flakes grand eating? Ask your mother to get you a package of wholesome delicious
Kellard's Pets tomorrow. Remember the name now, Pep Pep At Now the Adventures
of Superman, As you know, Superman and his guise of saw Kent has
now pitt us against the most powerful criminal in the world, a mass of
mind no one as the Vulture, who has once again succeeded in getting his
hands on the irreplaceable model of Doctor Cameron's Mechanical Man. In our last episodes,
we've heard of the Vulture enlisted the aid of a man named Smith to
build an eight foot replica of the Mechanical Man, a notable monster to do
his evil biddings. But more than that, the Vulture is planning a campaign
of vengeance against Clark Kent and Terry White. As our last episode ended,
Jimmy Olsen had falled into a trap set for him by the Master Criminal,
and this, if we learned, was the first step in what the Vulture
called an experiment in horror. Yet, strangely enough, as our story continues,
we find Jimmy sitting in the lavish study of the Vultures, hideout,
very much at his ease as he eats a large ice cream Sunday, and
sitting across from him is the Vulture himself. Listen, there, boy,
that tasted good? And where'd you enjoy the Jimmy's they listen, mister,
just watch your game anyhow, you'll find it a very interesting game. I
think, just what don't you under say? All? For one thing,
I know I'm a prisoner here. I try to get out. I find
all the doors locked, the windows two side. Do you haven't made any
bones about telling me I can't lead. So I've got the feeling that this
isn't just a nice, sociable party. That's right, Jimmy, Why I
don't care it? Why are you treating me so nice? Then I'll explain.
For one thing, I dislike physical pain so much that I am incapable
of inflicting it on others. For instance, if I were to torture you,
I'm sure the torture would hurt me more than it would you. Besides,
if I inflicted pain on you, I am certain you wouldn't give me
the satisfaction of showing it, now, would you? Well bet I wouldn't.
You can do what you like to me. You never get me the
bit for mercy as long as I could hold out anyhow, quite so,
then there'd be no point in physical torture, But mental torture there is something
else. Again, If the principal hitler uses, for instance, to force
people to do his bidding, I mean, you're going to make me do
something for you? No much you now? Look. Suppose Clark Kent and
Lois Lane, an editor fight of the Daily Planet, were led to believe
that you were being tortured suppose you yourself were to give them meting pleasure.
You think I'd do a thing like that, You're crazy those You want me
to pull the all gag about calling him on the phone and tell him you're
torturing me? Eh? Oh No, nothing is crude than our vious,
is that? Oh, that's what I gonna do. You'll see to It's
quite an a music and ingenious its game. By the time I'm too came
for me, others will believe that I am torturing you as the Indians tortured
by captives. They'll be in augh frenzy to find you and stop it.
And the fact that they won't be able to find you practically by the man
very amusic. Yeah, very funny. Oh you don't think so. No,
that's a horrible thing to do. Do anything you want to me anything
here, but leave them alone. Can't you stand it? I can stand
anything. Do your worth. Don't do anything to hurt my friend. Well,
we'll see. I'll think over my plan a little further before doing anything
about it. However, you're still in my prisoner, so I shall ask
you to go back into that room we've set aside for you. Okay,
there's nothing else I can do right now. Anyhow, into room now,
I'll lock you in if you don't mind. A little foully played into my
hands perfectly, ring for judgment, well, Judson, everything work perfectly,
sir. Good you met a recording of that conversation I just had with the
young man. I did, Sir, excellent By guiding the conversation. I
managed to make him say yuck, let me see it. I yes.
Once he said, you can do what you like to me. You'll never
get me to beg for messages. We can use that beautifully in the record
I'm going to make. Then he said, that's a horrible thing to do.
Do anything you want to meet, anything you hear, but leave them
alone. Blendid material, sir, or putting on the record. We're going
to make it perfect. And also in an angry tone, he used the
one word no. We can use that over and over again, Judson,
just that one word no. I must congratulate you, SA, You're a
remarkably clever man. I am, indeed, Judson, I am. I'll
see now. Changes to the office of editor White in the Daily Planet the
time A few hours later, Edith the Perry White. It's striding up and
down his office angrily while Clark Kent looks on Angio. You know it's about
four of goals, chasing off on a call across town the police headquarters,
leaving that kid unguarded way a beautifully planned job, do you know? I
was expecting some sort of word from Inspector Henderson about the mechanical man there.
Naturally, when Lois called me and said Henderson the telephone for me to come
to headquarters right away, I went. When I got there and Henderson told
me you hadn't called at all, then I knew something was wrong. No,
I suppose I shouldn't blame you can't. I had a fallen for the
same prick myself. I guess, after all, neither of us as superman.
No, No, you're you're a half right, well, I mean
you've you've got something there, yes, And neither is that miracle man this
who Deni of the underworld, who calls him something vout her. He's no
superman anymore than you or me. If he could capture that kid right under
our roses, we can get him back, and we've got to get him
back to here here, can't. We've got to get him back and of
course we do, and why keep me here? Let me get out and
get started on the search. We've got to find out whether Vulture is new
hideout is before we can rescue Jimmy, and we'll never do. It's sitting
here here, staying here until Inspector Henderson calls and lets us know what his
men have uncovered. Basically, the entire police force is calling us. Any's
nothing we can do, but wait, it's blenty superman to do if you
can only get away from here. Hey, what's that? Or what do
you say? Nothing? Nothing? You said something about Superman I heard Wait,
wait a minute, that may be the inspect of Now why Davie?
Oh yes, lois no no another thing yet, but now lois in the
name. I haven't hold on to yourself. There's no point in crying.
You are crying. I can hear your steppling over the phone. I'll stop
worrying. We'll find the boy. But one well, this is one time
that Superman is not here, and that's all there is going all right,
lois good bye, the fool girl blubbering out something about the only Superman.
We're here. Look, Jef, I can't stay here waiting for that call
from Henderson any longer. I want to find Jimmy and I've got to get
you'll stay here or I'll know the reason why the Olsen's in trouble. That's
the reason why. And I warn you, excuse me, miss and wife.
I could just to arrive for you. All right, all right,
give it here, Give it here. I wonder what this is gonna be.
Looks like a photograph record. There's a record, one of those homemade
things. Hello. Look what it says on the label to Clark Kent,
Kerry White and laws Lane for news of Jimmy Olsen. Play this record and
Kent, it's signed about chart for Heaven. Take to play it. Come
on the music critic down the hall is the partable poontograph. Come on,
well, if anything has happened to that kid, we still know. Whatever
you're thinking goes double for me. Now here's the music critics officer. He
isn't here, but his photograph has come one and close it off. I'll
start the machine, all right, now I've got the record on. Yeah,
just a minute now, I don't want to break it. Yeah,
okay, now'll put an eagle on. Right. This is about chest seeking.
This is my workplace ven a few pleasant days that has now happened in
the offense Jimmy, Oos, I have made a recording of an incident that
took place at three o'clock this afternoon. Boy, it's just five now,
two hours of reach and listen, care I can say, do your work.
I intend to do my worst. Young man. You'll see these instruments.
You'll know therefore you can do what you like to me. You'll never
get me the base for mercus for you. When I get started, young
fellow, I think you'll change your mind. No, no, oh yeah,
joy, this instrument finds them. You'll know what it can do.
You'll know what I can accomplish with it. That's the horrible thing that don't
quite differ. That's my nature. Besides, I have a little score to
tell me, your friend, And next time they see you, Jimmy,
they will find you a pleasant sight. No, then let's begin. No,
No, I will faire you gentlemen, and lame the scene that follow
it. I do think you have by this time sound idea of what it
means to get him away of the punture. That you know, I have
the buddle of mechanical man by you to keep it. Take the police off
my trade. I warn you. A SA senior efforts to block me,
and the same thing will happen to you that he's now happening to do some
rape. I can't talk. I feel sick and my stomach. Can you

during that? Boy? Can't? I can't, I suggestive. I'll be
with you in a minute. Oh well, what are you going to do?
I I just want to play this recording. Can't, can't? How
could your barratt? How could your barratt call my poor jo? Please?
Chief, please go on back to your off All right, eye, I'll
be right along the play this record again. Oh no, but this record
is going to be mighty helpful, So I'll take it with me. A
vulture is clever, but this time he's overstepped himself, given me the clue
I was waiting for. This is a job for Superman. There's not a
moment to lose off of these clothes. Man. There we are, I'll
with it, wind off and oh oh hell away once again Superman, a
man of steel, takes to the trail. In just a moment, we'll
return to the Adventures of Superman. But right now here is another important message.
The other day I happened to ask my pal Jerry Lang which meal he
liked best, breakfast, dinner, or supper. Well, he didn't waste
any time. He came right out for breakfast. That's because, according to
Jerry, a fell as likely to be hungry as a bear in the morning,
and everything just seems to taste better right then, So I want to
tip all of you off to something really swell. Just you try treating yourself
to a poll full of crisp crum cheeks golden Kellard's pep for breakfast with plenty
of milk, and see if that doesn't make your breakfast a mighty fine occasion
too. He has there there's something about the grand light crispmas and real tempting
flavor of pep that sure enough hits the spot at breakfast time. So ask
your mother to get you a package of delicious Kellogg's Tap tomorrow and remember,
get in set make good serial Kelloggs tex And now back to Superman. Although
we know that no harm has been done to Jimmy Olsen, the Vulture has
cleverly made an appear that the boy is being tortured by using a recording of
Jimmy's voice. But what did Superman mean when he said the culture has been
just a little too clever? What clue has Superman found in the record and
how will he be able to follow that clue to the Vulture's hideout. Don't
