It's a bird. It's a plane that's 16 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:36,359 trouper Man. The advent yourself Superman. When the planet drypped on home of 17 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,680 a race of Superman exploder than he does. The sole survivor was an infant 18 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,359 boy who had been shut to earth in a field rocket. Today, that 19 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,519 boy, grown to manhood, is known as Superman, foreign enemy of the 20 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560 forces of evil. To wade him in his never ending fight for truth and 21 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,400 justice, he masquerades as Clark Kent, crime reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. 22 00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,840 His secret is carefully guarded. No one is aware that Kent is Superman. 23 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:05,400 No one but you going with us Now on ABC, as Superman faces 24 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,560 the gravest problem of his entire career, the possible exposure of his supple identity, 25 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:22,319 and an exciting Franscraft adventure entitled dead Man Tell No Tale. The horrible 26 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,439 realization that one day someone will discover that Clark Kent, mild mannered, bespectacled 27 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:31,240 crime reporter is in reality Superman. Has hung over Superman's head like the sword 28 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,120 of Damocles, for he realizes that once his dual role is exposed, he 29 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,439 will no longer be able to work in secrecy. And now that day has 30 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:51,000 come. Returning to his apartment late one night after covering a routine hold up 31 00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,960 story at police headquarters, Clark Kent discovered that a secret caught it in his 32 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,639 bedroom had been broken into, and the spare Superman costume he kept hidden there 33 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:05,520 had been stolen. For a moment, he was dazed, then the full 34 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,479 important what had happened struck him like a savage blow. Whoever had stolen the 35 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,759 costume, unless he was stupid beyond the belief, was now aware that Clark 36 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:23,159 Kent was Superman. For almost an hour, can't taste the floor, unable 37 00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,439 to think it. There were six million people in Metropolis, and the sneak 38 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,520 thief might be any one of them. Finally, in desperation, he called 39 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:37,360 in his friend, the private detective Candy Myers. All right now, Clark, 40 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,680 relax, relax. Not the end of the world, you know, 41 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,479 and it might be for me. Ah, stop it, no matter what. 42 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,879 The guy stole a cafe. That's bad. Let's have it from the 43 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:49,759 beginning. I told you. I got back from headquarters at eleven o'clock. 44 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,639 I walked into the bedroom and found the door of the closet opened. Okay, 45 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,360 what was message? Well, that's not important, Kenny, the important 46 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,520 be emain, It's not important. I gotta know what the guy left, 47 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,120 said darn, I he didn't take anything. Well, and what's the all 48 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:05,479 a fuss? I'm still broke into my apartment. I look palsy and not 49 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:09,759 pulling any wool over Candy Maya's eyes. In the first place, it's a 50 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,879 secret closet. In the second place, nobody has a secret closet and leaves 51 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:16,160 it empty. A third place, if the guy knew how to get it 52 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,079 open without jemming the door, he must have had a pretty good idea of 53 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,360 what was in it. No, No, he couldn't have known what was 54 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,879 in it. So there was something in it? Yeah, well, well 55 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,680 what Jeff, Jeff, what do they high now? Candy, believe me, 56 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,279 it doesn't matter. All I want to do is get the seat. 57 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120 Is that all? Well? You know what I mean. I don't know 58 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,120 what you mean, but I sure know what you need. You neither swam 59 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,319 me with a crystal ball, not a detective Candy. Please, I look, 60 00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:45,879 pal, you'll know as well as I do that whatever the guy took, 61 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,360 he's going to try and sell or hawk. The only way to put 62 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,120 the finger on him is to check every fence and hot shop in the steady. 63 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,839 Well, we can't do that unless we know what we're looking for, 64 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Henry, But he won't try to sell or hawk this candy. It has 65 00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,480 no value. Well then what are you all hating bother the back? Well, 66 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,600 it has value to me, in fact, it's every brother, No 67 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,120 candy, just do one thing for me. Well, just check the closet 68 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680 door for a thinker print. He got your dusting kit with you? Yeah, 69 00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:15,439 please, candy? Okay, but you sure like that those things are 70 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,839 hardware. That's the only way in this case. I wish I could tell 71 00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:20,360 you more, Candy. Honestly, I do me more. Brother, You 72 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:24,360 haven't told me anything. Oh just for fun though, Clark. Guess the 73 00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:27,000 guy didn't know what was in the closet. I mean, if he wasn't, 74 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,720 happen, how did he get it open accidentally?

But with you, it don't matter. 264 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,720 If you're the guy you're supposed to be, nothing's gonna happen. If 265 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,559 you ain't, then you're trying to slip money is a finger and you gotta 266 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:11,880 coming. That's why I'm not allowed to taught. So say what you gotta 267 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,559 say.

At that pigeon, caught in a blind crap, 273 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,400 unaware that Morelli is trying to determine whether or not he is Superman, 274 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,400 Tandy Myers faces the steel black muzzle of a gangster's gun, an almost certain 275 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:52,519 Meanwhile, in his apartment, Markkin glances at his watch with adense time five 276 00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:56,839 minutes to four. She called it the latter three and she said twenty minutes, 277 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,759 almost an hour. I'm not gonna wait any longer. Forty five Carlton 278 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:07,640 Street. I'll pay her a visit. As Superman, removing his horn rimmed 279 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,119 glasses and stripping off his business up the skies, Clark can't emerges in the 280 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:19,359 brilliant red and blue costume of Superman raising a window. The only human being 281 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,440 on earth who numbers among his amazing powers the power of light, leaps out 282 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,359 into the darkness. Hovering for a timeless moment in midair, he gets his 283 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,480 bearings and then, like an arrow shot from a bowl, feeds across the 284 00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,440 city and drops down on the side walk in front of the Suckle House. 285 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,599 A forty five cart one glance and his X ray vision shows him the scene 286 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,519 inside the house. Great Scott hencing every mustherle in his powerful body, Superman 287 00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:45,200 crashes through one of the blind drawn windows and like a human projectile strikes Candy 288 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,039 Myers ducked him uncontched cop almost at the instant the gun and Nick Morelli's hands 289 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:52,960 blasted out. Maria, it doesn't end rock that gut. First, I 290 00:23:53,039 --> 00:24:03,599 gotta make sure all right, all right, Throp, that's better we talk 291 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,400 things. Oh, I've got nothing to talk over with you, unless it's 292 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,119 a matter of attempted murder. If I'd been a split second light, that 293 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,519 bullet would have killed him. So why did he have to try to slip 294 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,079 me the finger telling me he was ken? Is that's what he did? 295 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:15,599 Ask her? Yeah, he was waking? No scares where you live? 296 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,400 What do you mean where I live? One sixty stands? We know the 297 00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:26,079 score. Your name is Clark skin?

Only what I know phase off does it? 300 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,079 I think? So what I mean is the only one know the tupid 301 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,599 creep busted into your joint. He's dead. So from here and then you 302 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,359 do business with me, Nick MORRELLI? Is that so? Yeah? I 303 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,319 kinda. If you don't, I'm gonna do a little talking and that's gonna 304 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,559 put you out of the superman racket.

I wish it were relaxed and mister kin, but would you 308 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,480 like for me to score your Superman? You don't have to call me anything. 309 00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:14,079 Where's the costume that was stolen from my closet? I'm not in any 310 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,079 mood, but talking where is it? Yelling ain't gonna get you? All 311 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,119 right? Then maybe this well, well you're flicking my arm? Where is 312 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,119 that where I stuck it? One answer to this, I've got to put 313 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,400 both of you some place where it won't matter how much fucking you do. 314 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,599 Are you gonna act like this floor? We can make it to you. 315 00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:34,960 I don't make it the shooter pot don't accept. You've made your bed and 316 00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:37,759 now you're gonna sleep, and I get your coats on.

Now, I'm warning you, this mountain top is four thousand 319 00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:59,039 feet high and there's no way down. You're murdering us for freezer bay. 320 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,400 I'll be back with everything you need and pulling a foilo. You won't freeze 321 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,440 or start. Why do you throw this spot? I saw you, I 322 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:06,839 was willing to forget it. I even saw you want to crush your hair, 323 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,160 and you're telling me it isn't worth much. I'll spread it on a 324 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,680 stack of fiber that's worth let from you. Oh this is how it's got 325 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,200 to be till I can think of something else.

You're getting up break 327 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:25,000 I remember, don't fighter escape, I'll be back. Leaping into the still 328 00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:27,680 darkened sky, Superman hovers in curious flight above the mountain top, watching the 329 00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,000 tiny figures of the gangster and his girl. Then, just as he is 330 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,359 about to turn in mid air and head for Metropolis, he notices with horror 331 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,759 that hand in hand they are attempting to make their way down a steep slope, 332 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,480 a stupid fool. Arching his powerful body, Superman prepares to swoop down 333 00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,680 after them, but he is too late. Loose sand and gravel rolls under 334 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,799 their feet, and losing their balance, they pitched forward headlong, their bodies 335 00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:55,279 striking a ledge and bouncing off like sawdust stummies, falling to the valley four 336 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:11,440 thousand feeps below. Hello, Hello, this is Candy, Candy. What 337 00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:14,920 happened to you? You sound terrible? Happened? And that he hadn't happened 338 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,240 to a dog? Somebody hit me in the back in her head with a 339 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:25,799 telephone, laughing, laughing, Candy, I just clearing my throat. You're 340 00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:29,960 in trouble. I'm in trouble. Yeah. The name of Morelli has got 341 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,039 whatever was coping your quiet. Oh, don't worry about it, Candy. 342 00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:36,640 I got it back. I got it back. Yes. And Morelli and 343 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,000 the girl a diad They fell off a mountain. Oh, that does it. 344 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,160 I know. I should have had more brains than get mixed up in 345 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,799 it. It fell off a mountain, that's right. Sure. And I'm 346 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,559 thick, Tracy, And you're a Superman. That's right, Candy. Good 347 00:27:51,799 --> 00:28:03,799 night, Good night, Candy, and so and dead men tell no tales 348 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,759 on the Adventures of Superman, which I have come to you each week at 349 00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:11,319 this same time over many of these Tame ABC stations. With tonight's broadcast, 350 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,680 we end the current series of Superman Adventures. Thank you for listening. We 351 00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:19,720 hope to be back with you shortly, bringing you radio's most fabulous character in 352 00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:26,119 thrilling stories of action, mystery and adventure. Oh be sure to listen when 353 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,920 next again you hear that familiar cry I stood on a speeding bullet, or 354 00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:38,440 powerful than a locomotive able to eleas tall buildings at a single bound up on 355 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:45,799 the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane, It's Cooperman. Cooperman 356 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,519 is a copyright Advanced Tribe feature appearing in Superman DC Comic Magazine. The role 357 00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:53,519 of Cooperman has been played by Budd Gollyer. Music has been composed and played 358 00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:59,039 by John Guard Missus Jackson Beck saying goodbye for the present and hoping to say 359 00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:12,799 hello again, and the this is ABC the American Broadcasting Company, Welcome Back. 360 00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:21,680 This episode was adapted from the radio serial The Mystery of the Stolen Costume, 361 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,720 and itself was actually adapted to the TV episode from series one or season 362 00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:34,039 one of Superman, The Mystery of the Stolen Costume. It plays out almost 363 00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:41,400 exactly on television as it did in today's radio episode. It's a good story 364 00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:47,720 in that it does expose a Superman to some risk, which is pretty rare. 365 00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:53,240 I think that moral A probably overstates his case as to what the possible 366 00:29:53,359 --> 00:30:00,839 effect of Clark kennon superman dual identity being revealed. It's less likely to be 367 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,359 the end of Superman than it is to be the end of Clark Kent. 368 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:14,720 In more modern versions, there's more attachment to the Clark Kent persona. But 369 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,839 in this pre crisis situation, where Clark Kent has no family, no living 370 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:26,519 relatives, it's pretty easy to start over again. I remember a silver Age 371 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:33,000 Superman story where Superman gone amnesia and thought he was a British guy. This 372 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:41,319 was a silver Age and then he figured out he was Superman, and then 373 00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:45,720 he remembered that he was not really the British guy but Clark Kent. However, 374 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:52,160 he exposed his British guy identity to Lois Lane, and when she discovered, 375 00:30:52,319 --> 00:30:53,920 he said, well, I'm just gonna have to go and take another 376 00:30:55,079 --> 00:31:04,319 identity. By having Candy Myers in this situation actually creates a different dynamic than 377 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:11,319 having Batman in the original serial version, but it does work in a way. 378 00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:15,559 It's a psychological pressure. You are in crisis, you want somebody to 379 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,039 help, but because it's about a secret you're trying to keep, you can't 380 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:26,039 actually tell him anything helpful. You can certainly understand how that would be very 381 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,960 frustrating for Kenny Myers. I will say my big problem with this is that 382 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:36,799 the story really puts Superman in a moral dilemma whether to take a life or 383 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:44,559 to allow his identity to be revealed, potentially impacting his ability to save other 384 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,680 lives. He makes a choice not to kill the criminals, but is rescued 385 00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:56,039 from actually having to deal with the consequence of keeping these two permanently prisoner forever. 386 00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:02,000 I'm just doing something that's really, really still it's a good classic story, 387 00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:06,920 and that's what we end on. I should note that Bud Collyer's time 388 00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:10,400 is Superman on the Radio was over, but he would come back in the 389 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:20,200 nineteen sixties to play Superman in the New Adventures of Superman TV series, providing 390 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,960 the voice to Superman for sixty eight more animated adventure add to that the Fleischer 391 00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:32,720 and Famous Studio cartoons and more than a thousand episodes on the radio, well 392 00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:39,680 more than a thousand episodes. And Callier really was a key figure in Superman 393 00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:47,400 and introducing him to generations of kids. So a wonderful legacy. And we 394 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:52,000 are almost done with this series, but we have one more episode and I'm 395 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,359 gonna try something crazy and next week try and have it on time. Sorry 396 00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:01,000 about the latest weekend last week, but we will be wrapping up Superman. 397 00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:07,000 So send your comments to Adam at Adams web dot us.
