Presenting Superman up in the sky. Look, it's supper, it's a plain,
It's Superman. And now Superman, strange and amazing figure from another world
who has come to Worth as the champion of the week and the oppressed.
As our story opens to day, Superman in his character of Clark Kent Reporter
is just where we left in the laboratory of doctor Dahlgren, bending over the
reviving form of the scientist, who has been stunned by the blowing open of
his safe. Outside, a distant clock is just struck five thirty Inside Canton,
the doctors stare at the empty safe, realizing that the steel cylinders necessary
to operate the Dogren atomic theme have been stolen, and that the Yellow Mask
can now make good his threat to blow the Daily Planet building to fragments.
On the dot of six, Locus Lane has been sent to bring the police,
and on the paper sirens wail. A squad cars race towards the scene
of the explode. Meanwhile, the Yellow Ask himself watches Brimley from a secret
hiding place, waiting for the uproar to die down. Listen. So the
sound of the explosion has brought the police like bees to a honeypot. Very
well, I shall wait until I am ready to leave, and then all
the police in the city will not stop me. Are both cars waiting?
Are ready? When you get the word? Chief good? Who's this?
Michael? Who's that with you? I got a visitor for you? Che
you let me go? Put me down. The girl? Where did she
come from? She belongs to the fellow from the newspaper. After the explosion,
she went for the caps. I seen her coming down the stairs,
and I thought maybe we'd better hang on to way best God excellent Michael will
done. Indeed, put her in the second car with the machine. I
won't go. Bring her to the airport. Michael, put her in the
plane. You everybody said, come on take it won't stop. While yet
there were that chap that young man Kin has annoyed us before. I shall
take no chances this time if he hinders my plans. In the next half
hour, he signs this girl's death warrant. Start up the car. And
meanwhile, back in the laboratory of doctor Dahlgren. Oh can't how did they
know who told him when to come to steal the cylinders? Yes, but
doctor Dolgren, you remember, I asked you if there was anyone named Michael
hereabouts. Yes, my servant. I've had him for years. While Michael
betrayed you to the Yellow Mask. He had a dictaphone in every room of
the laboratory and told them of every move you made. Michael did that.
Where is he? I don't know, Probably following the mask and that's where
I'm going to. No, Ken, don't leave me, Come back,
doctor, You'll be all right. The police are on the stairs right now.
Sorry, I can't wait. What goes on in here? Right the
trouble? I can't go down. It's got to be up. Maybe the
next landing. This will do it. Out of these clothes, up for
the window. What's the time? Where's that clock? Good thing I can
see in the dark. Twenty five minutes to six? Twenty five minutes to
find the Yellow Mask or else? I don't know, not much time,
but here we go. Huh up one of two things. He's either going
back to town or out to an airport. But first time I was born
white for claar thegling too and kiss faster faster twenty five minutes? What?
No, lord, Lord? Where is miss Lane? Where's Kent? Say?
You're own white? My friend. This is the yellow man, my
miss Beth Prices call. Don't trouble yourself, mister White. You cannot stop
me now, nor can mister class Kent he is there. Tell him that
missus Lewis Lane is with me? What lost Lane? You've got loss?
Miss Lane is my hostage in my plane. If you Kent or anyone else
interferes with me, now, miss Lane will leave my company without a parachute.
Good night, Yes right, well I will let you know where no
time. Oh Lord, that devil means to drop loss out of an aeroplane.
Oh Kent, is that you where a given man? Where have been?
Mister White? Is miss Lane here Kent? Just this second? The
call came from the mask. He's got an aeroplane and he's got lost.
What's it's true? What did you find out a dog? Mister White?
It's bad. The mask got away with the atomic bean machine. He can
wipe us out in a second. What where are you going? All the
nearest flying field, the one on the point. I can be there in
eight minutes. Have them warm up a plane. You can't fly? What
are you going to do? I can and I will so long, mister
White, I'm not running out on You can't wait. It's our only pants,
and I'm taking it. If you don't hear from me by two minutes
of there's nothing we can do all alone in the hall out of these clothes.
No time for opening windows, has chance, Mask, But Superman still
has time. You can fly, so can I. I'll get to the
field and take a plane myself. What are you going to do with me?
Just sit for you all, my dear miss Lane, for the time
being. What's the clock, say Michael? Five to six? Remove the
cover from the atomic beam? Wait a minute? What's that behind us?
She'd have to say, for sure, looks like another plane. Fools didn't
believe me. Eh well, I soon will look down, Michael and tell
me where we are over that daily planet building, watchaid, Michael, it
will not be there along? Are you beat Sean? What are you going
to do? Pay off a few scalls? Miss Lane? All right,
Michael, it works. The machine works now. Then Michael back over the
planet building and he knows from Ken. What's the time? Ken hasn't called
in so far mister White? Wait a minute, Hey, anybody got a
call from Ken running here? Not so far, mister White. I had
never mind that. What's the time? Just a minute ago? I know
I did. What's the time? Now, Miss Smith? What's the time?
Three minutes of six? No time left? Now there they are,
got to scare them off. All right, mask, here I come.
I chased that other planes right behind us, and of mind the other plane.
It's two minutes of six. Swing down over the Daily Planet building.
All right, I got a bank and head back again. Here we go.
Please observe miss Lene once again in the plane of the atomic generators.
Oh stop, you can't do what you want. Hey, look you you
other planes right on our tail. I'll take care of that. Come here,
as slee let me go. I told your friends what would happen if
they got in my way? Now, Michael, release it all. It's
open to throw the cat, I said. They came too close. I
warned them. Come here, girl, no chief, what's out? He's
gonna crash some days. Out you go, Miss Lane, out the door.
There I go down down time in the building. I'm throwing the switch
a youre telling me the cat the cow there? I crashed the planes.
Jump clear. That will take care of the mask laws. She's falling punching
down two thousand feet got to catch her down down fifteen hundred a thousand,
eight hundred, five hundred two hundred. If she is how how got her?
She's safe? How up up and away? Whooping down? Superman saves
Loss in the nick of time and bears her away to safety. Next morning,
in the offices of the Daily blacklet well Well Loss come in said,
it was quite an experience you had last night. I tell you, mister
White, I don't understand it. They threw me out of the plane.
I remember falling, That's all I do remember. Quickly. Well, that's
almost enough. I imagine we all owe our lives to your friend Clark Kent.
Clark Kent, what did he do most amazing at the very last Minit
He went up in a plane, rammed the mask just as he was about
to touch off that infernal machine, and came down by parachute, just as
you did, as I did. I don't remember any parachute. You don't
think you've swam down, do you. I don't know. I'm not sure.
It's all very hazy. But at the last minute, I seem to
recall that a man appeared out of nowhere, just flying in the air.
You probably saw the mask falling out of his plane. Oh no, this
wasn't that kind of a man wore a long red cape and he just took
me in his arms and carried me away. You are dreaming loss? Well,
well look who's here? Come in Kent? Morning, mister White,
morning, miss Lane, good morning, If you'll excuse me, mister Wait,
I don't know what miss Lane has against me. You mustn't mind her
Kent. I can't thank you enough of what you did. You saved all
our lives. I was just lucky. Mister Whitet crashed the planes and came
down by parachute. Oh, by the way, was anything left of the
mask's plane? Nothing left of either the plane or the mask. Doctor Dogburn's
machine was ruined dough. Incidentally, he called earlier this morning to thank you
and tell you that he's destroyed the duplicate of that machine and the plans for
building it. He thought you'd a probe, Oh I do. It was
much too dangerous a device in the hands of the wrong person. Oh we
say, ken't. There's something been bothering me. Lowe seems to think she
was rescued by a man in a red cape, a superman who flew through
the air. You remember that Western story you covered, There were rumors about
such a man red cap flying through the air. How do you think so
silly to talk about mister White? I know, but he mister White,
about that fire? Yeah? What about it? Just got a phone call.
They think it's a girl trapped on the twentieth floor. What a girl
trapped? Can't thin get her out? Mister White? Let me cover that
story. Maybe maybe what well, maybe maybe I can do something? Can
I cover it? Sure? But if the fire department can't Reachart, what
do you think you can do? What does Clark can't mean to do?
Does he intend to assume the blue costume and red cape of Superman and attempt
a daring rescue of the trapped girl in broad daylight? Does he dare reveal
himself as Superman before the thousand people watching the fire in the street below?
What will happen? Tune in next time and find out, and remember,
don't miss the next installment of Superman on the sky. Whoop It's a bird,
