out our other podcast including the Great
Detectives of Old Time Radio and The Amazing

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,439
World of Radio. And for the
first time in four years, we're back

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,079
with another Superman serial. We again
playing the half hour episodes in the fall

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,479
of twenty seventeen, so this is
going to be fun and a bit different.

9
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:47,960
We're going to be playing the Cereal
the Ten Men. Now, it

10
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:53,079
is not a complete serial, but
there's enough of it to be able to

11
00:00:53,119 --> 00:01:00,280
follow along. At least the second
half the serial exists with parts two,

12
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,480
a part of Part six, and
Part seven and eight, ten and eleven,

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,079
and thirteen and fourteen, and there
are fourteen parts. Now it is

14
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:18,400
reasonable to say, how can that
work because you're missing nearly half of the

15
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,799
story, and that was my initial
thought as well. However, it's important

16
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:30,439
to remember that not every serial works
the exact same way. Some Superman serials

17
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:38,400
are one continuous theme one continuous story
from start to finish. However, some

18
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:46,159
will have distinct stories within the serial
that are kind of separate from each other.

19
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,840
A good example of this is the
story Doctor Roebling's Voice Machine. It

20
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,879
begins with Lewis and Clarke trying to
set out to find doctor Roebling, who's

21
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:05,120
invented this voice machine. However,
doctor Roebling's nephew and his blonde wife,

22
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:10,360
the cereal, was quite adamant about
letting us know her hair collar. For

23
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,360
some reason, we're attempting to steal
the machine from him and to generally do

24
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:21,879
what I think we would call to
day elder abuse, and the entire first

25
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,199
half of the Doctor Robling and the
Voice Machine serial is about that, and

26
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:34,639
then once that's a result, they
actually use the voice machine to try to

27
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:39,879
stop a criminal conspiracy. Now,
if the first half of Doctor Robling and

28
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:46,639
the Voice Machine disappeared, you could
still follow the story in the second half,

29
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:54,120
because what happened with doctor Roebling's nephew
and his wife has no bearing on

30
00:02:54,159 --> 00:03:00,919
the second half of the story.
And it's the exact same thing with the

31
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Ten Men. Parts one through six
are essentially one story, and parts seven

32
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,319
through fourteen are completely different. One. We could start out on part seven

33
00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,759
and you would be able to follow
the story. So essentially what we have

34
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:23,280
is an eight part story with two
episodes missing, and that we can work

35
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:29,599
with. Now, while we could
go ahead and start out with part seven,

36
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,120
we're not going to because we do
have Part two in part of part

37
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,639
six, which provides some fun background
and there's some really interesting things that are

38
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,520
going to happen. And so today
we'll play part two, the little bit

39
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360
of Part six we have, and
then we'll play Part seven. Now,

40
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,120
I do want to go ahead and
provide a couple acknowledgements. First, If

41
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:58,800
you try and find this serial online, it is really hard to figure out

42
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,479
because you've got a lot of part
of episodes mislabeled, as you know,

43
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:08,560
in the wrong place. It's like
a jigsaw puzzle trying to put together,

44
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,759
and it's just a mess. There
is a person, a contributor over at

45
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:20,160
OTRR library dot org that put a
file on the website which really did do

46
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:28,439
a good job of explaining how these
go together and correcting all the mislabelings.

47
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,759
So I really do appreciate that.
I also want to acknowledge that I was

48
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:39,720
able to get part six of this
story from Ted Davenport and truly appreciate that.

49
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,759
Now, this particular serial started right
after the end of the Mystery Ship,

50
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:53,199
So this will be the first Superman
episode that we played from nineteen forty

51
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,000
three, because we did not have
any episodes that we presented to you from

52
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,319
either nineteen forty three or forty four
war. So this will be fun part

53
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,680
two of the series, which we're
about to play air January fifth, nineteen

54
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:18,759
forty three. Let's go ahead and
take a lesson after a brief message and

55
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:33,519
locomotive able to leave Pullblity to the
single bound. Yes, this Superman strange

56
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:38,920
visitor from another world who came to
Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those

57
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:43,720
of Bottleman. Superman who contains the
cause of mighty rivers, then the steel

58
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,160
in his bare hand, and who
are disguised as Pa Kent, mild manager

59
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:51,680
reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper,
fights a never ending battle for truth,

60
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:58,160
justice and the American Way. But
before we joined Superman, here is an

61
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,279
important method they gang. Here's the
story for you that's so thrilling. I'll

62
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,000
bet you'll be telling all your friends
about it. It's about one of the

63
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,720
adventures of one of the smallest marines
in the surface. They call him half

64
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,319
Pint in the marine if he half
Pint is only five feet seven inches tall

65
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:15,680
and he weighs about one hundred and
fifty pounds. But fellers, it isn't

66
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,720
size that counts in this man's army. At strength, this half pint was

67
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:24,600
strong as a bearcat and in a
one condition. One rainy day in the

68
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,920
jungles of broad Out Canal, he
volunteered for patrol duty to cap some jets,

69
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,879
and they put him in charge of
the group. It was raining cats

70
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:36,160
and dogs that morning. Okay,
fellers, you check your equipment all right.

71
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:41,040
Now listen, three japs a reporter
within snipe and range. We've got

72
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,759
to go and get them. Come
on, let's go. Hey, hey,

73
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,040
look over here, footprints. It's
funny up, looks like about eight

74
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:55,920
picks. They're a village. Why
they'll here. Let's hamble around the village

75
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,079
and find out where those chaps are
and let them have it. Come on.

76
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,639
Tanks kind of crawled through the fush
every that hot of an air.

77
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Listen, everybody said, well,
let's go, and the marines in it

78
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,360
again. Half Pint in his patrol
whites out at Japanest which just goes to

79
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:21,439
show colors that you don't have to
be big to be tough, and that

80
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,480
brings up a point I want to
make. You can't expect to be sturdy

81
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:29,439
and strong unless you eat right,
which includes getting all your vitamins. And

82
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
today hundreds of fellas and girls are
starting to get two very important vitamins D

83
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:38,480
one and D by sitting down to
a swell big bowl of delicious Kelloggs Pep

84
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,079
for breakfast. Have you tasted those
crunchy nutsweet plates yet? Will help?

85
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,399
Believe me, you'll certainly go for
the real, hearty flavor of crisp delicious

86
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,959
PEPs. So ask your mother to
get you a package of swell tasting Kelloggs

87
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:01,240
Pep tomorrow and make Kelloggs Pep your
special breakfast cereals. And now the Adventures

88
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,639
of Superman. As you remember,
Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and editor

89
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,160
Perry White were anounced the Metropolis Aircraft
Plant to witness the test of an amazing

90
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:15,360
robot pilot, a mechanical man designed
by doctor Livright. They found a mechanical

91
00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:18,000
man to be almost human, equipped
with eyes, ears, and even a

92
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,439
brain. Responding to the order to
doctor Livright, the mechanical man took off

93
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,519
a loan in a single seat,
open cockpit plane and disappeared into the sky.

94
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,039
Twenty minutes later, the plane came
down as a screaming dive and crashed

95
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,039
on the field. When the records
was examined, the cockpit was found to

96
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,879
be empty. The tin man had
fetished. Later, while an investigation of

97
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:45,799
the mysterious occurrence being conducted, Lowis
accepted an invitation to view the aircraft plant

98
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:50,279
with Professor Jogison, a scientist employed
there. As our last episode ended,

99
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,799
Professor Jorgerson was showing lawis the huge
wind tunnel in which new train model gottested

100
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:03,080
when but quake listen fans starting up
here. Hit my heat because you get

101
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:09,720
out of here quickly. Come on, ye I can't go forward. I'm

102
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,960
being cracked back toward the bath for
each other. So man, the friend

103
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,519
is spinning in reverse. It's perception, I foke on. What do we

104
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:20,799
doing? It's pulling me back?
Hold on, Hold down quickly quickly.

105
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:26,799
If I'm still need fo back,
don't steal hooks in the floor that's where

106
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:31,480
the planes are anca scram hold of
one clam hold hold on me seen,

107
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,759
hold on, if you'll value your
nice getting hard, I gotta holn.

108
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:43,279
I came on to host. Hold
on, we're four scruple. This fen

109
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:48,240
gone. We've just stuck back into
the whirling crave for that fan is hard.

110
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,799
I can't stand my herd if I
do the man for here. But

111
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,759
it's not me at the very moment. But Loris is witching in Superman Bozz

112
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,039
present my guards to Parkken. He
was talking with one of the machinists and

113
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:13,279
the aircraft plans machine shop and let
me get this strike miss. You want

114
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,879
to know if I believe the mechanical
pilot but tim Man is actually possible?

115
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,480
Is that it? Yes, she
worked on it. She helped me stuck

116
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:22,840
it. I sucked at you to
tell me there was something about it.

117
00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,799
I'm fraidness that is not any more
than you already know. You see earth

118
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:33,120
workman just built the mechanical body I
know. Tell me did you ever see

119
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:35,799
this so called rain? The doctor
live right guard so carefully well, just

120
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,080
once shut some on. I went
into Weis Connage one day to get a

121
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,919
blueprint I needed, and he was
working on the brain. Then I didn't

122
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
seem much show, just a mess
of wires, switches, that ton of

123
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,480
thing, and and that's funny.
But what's funny through the wind of man?

124
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,480
For red lighters are on our side
the wind tunnel, And what's the

125
00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:58,759
funny about that? Just as I
happened to all we ate tests and nothing

126
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,240
over that a dayld right, means
the wind machine is working for everybody to

127
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,159
keep down. Yeah, And I
was sure I saw Professor Jorgeson and miss

128
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,639
sim puts on another porter girls name, that's right. I thought I showed

129
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,600
him going that kind of fifteen minutes
ago, you did. I think I

130
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,639
better go over and have a look. Nobody's supposed to be pulling the river

131
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:22,600
there without permission, you know,
not even Professor Jorgison's supposed to turn that

132
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,039
fan on. It's too dangerous.
Very excuse. That's cool, all right,

133
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,039
and I'm glad you're left. Something
tells me this may be a jump

134
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,919
for Superman. Out of these clothes, yeh. And out of this door

135
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:45,000
now h h. Here's the door
of the wind tunnel. I better go

136
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,879
in, great Scott. Hold Professor
Jorgesson didn't mind the tunnel to hang anyone

137
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:54,320
without lines. Hold on, hold
on, I'm coming. Better get up

138
00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:03,080
into the tunnel hurd. Hold on, I get you. If I haven't

139
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,039
thanked, don't let go? Can
you? Can you got all back and

140
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,879
all my mind against the terrible function. Wait a minute, I'm a plain.

141
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,960
I've got you. Oh she got
here. Just now you from arrow?

142
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:30,080
He doesn't matter I think or whatever
I got you. Oh, Lowis

143
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,399
is not cold. I better leave
it that way. But the professor,

144
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:37,080
it's been a great strain from many
his age. He's in pretty bad shape.

145
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Hi, very well, my machinist
friend. I better be on my

146
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,799
way. I just leave these two
here. You'll see the joggers and gets

147
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:52,200
medical attention. Oh oh. And
a short time later, after the excitement

148
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,799
of Lowis's narrow escape has died down, she is sitting in the office of

149
00:12:54,919 --> 00:13:01,360
Yates Peterson, president of the Metropolis
Aircraft Plan, discussing incident with Peterson and

150
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,120
Clark Kent. Listen, a little
surprising thing. I've ever heard of your

151
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,919
being shaved like that by Superman.
I never really believe Superman existed until today,

152
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,320
But then some very strange things have
been happening around here. I'm still

153
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,519
trying to figure out where that Tinman
disappeared. To. I don't think you'll

154
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,240
ever find the answer to that,
mister Peterson. I'm afraid you're right,

155
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,639
miss Lane. Who heard about Professor
Jorgsen. He's a nice old man and

156
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,679
a brilliant silist. I understand,
Yes, I'd give a good dude to

157
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,120
know who turned on that fan by
accident? That was no accident, mister

158
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Peterson, What do you mean well, I don't see how you can believe

159
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,519
it was after what miss Lane has
told us. You mean about the plane

160
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,759
that almost ran her and Jorgerson down. With that and the incident in the

161
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:46,039
wind tunnel, we tryed to find
the man who was piloting that plane,

162
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:48,799
and I understand he's left the premises
that a fact. He turns out who

163
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,480
has been a pretty shady character.
That's true, he wasn't living where he

164
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,360
said he was, and no one
knew him at that address. Still,

165
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:58,840
and that wind tunnel business, whoever
turned on that pan turnded on the lip

166
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,960
me. I'm sure of that,
But why I'm not sure myself. I've

167
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,639
got a hunt. It's got something
to do with doctor liber Right's tin man

168
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:11,080
as can't you can't be serious,
I certainly am, But that sounds ridiculous.

169
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,159
Well, oh excuse me, joy
hello, yes, this is Peterson.

170
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,240
Oh yes, yes, doctor,
what's that? Why? That's simply

171
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:24,200
wonderful. How in the world did
you do it? And so quickly?

172
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:30,440
But that's wonderful. Well, how
how soon do you think you can have

173
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:35,919
it finished? I see? Excellent? Doctor, excellent. We'll arrange for

174
00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:41,320
the trial late tomorrow afternoon. Five
five? Yes, right, goodbye?

175
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,279
That was doctor liber right. He
tells me that, by rare good fortune,

176
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,600
he's remembered almost the entire formula for
the tin man's brain. Say that

177
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,320
earthquake work. Is he putting the
brain together? Now? Yes? He

178
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,960
says he's going to get to work
on it at once, and promises to

179
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,559
have it ready by tomorrow afternoon.
His staff or all so working on the

180
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,320
metal body, and we should be
ready for another test late in the afternoon

181
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,440
tomorrow. It's that kind of fast? Why, no, certainly not.

182
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:13,120
We're anxious to prove or disprove the
mechanical man's usefulness. Is quickly this possible?

183
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,240
That's all? Oh, excuse me, I'll think back in a minute.

184
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,039
Some arrangements I must make for the
test tomorrow. What's a man o'clock?

185
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,039
You look a little sustitious. I
am suspicious, though I don't really

186
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,919
know why. You know, I
don't like half the things that are going

187
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
on around here. Lass. Take
this latest development for instance. You mean

188
00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:35,039
doctor live right remembering almost the entire
formula of the mechanical brain. Yes,

189
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,600
that just doesn't make sense to me
even now. That occurred to me too.

190
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,440
But it's perfectly possible that a man
who was invented time thing should remember

191
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,960
what it was invented or Yes,
but what's the hurry about testing the thing?

192
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:50,279
Peterson plans to test the second ten
Man tomorrow afternoon. I so quickly.

193
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,879
You know, scientists are usually very
careful men, who test everything carefully

194
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:58,200
before giving it the supreme tests.
But I hear these two are going to

195
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:03,039
tests. Well, that's taken care
of, by the way, You too,

196
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,720
will come out tomorrow afternoon for the
ten high fend they like to be

197
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,720
there, So all right, what
is the one or nothing? Nothing at

198
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:12,240
all? Well, fine, and
show up here tomorrow about four o'clock in

199
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,879
the afternoon, and if doctor Libride
is successful in completing his second tin Man,

200
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,159
we'd have another test. It will
make quite a scoop for the Daily

201
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,799
Planet here said well indeed, well
many thanks, mister Peterson. Come on,

202
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:30,399
Laura, come on now, Clark, what are you holding back for

203
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,480
it? All right? Just do
you like walking slowly? Yes, of

204
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:37,399
course he wants to walk slowly or
his keen ears are listening to what is

205
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,799
going on in Peterson's office. He
has heard Peterson pick up the telephone and

206
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,639
ask for doctor live ride. Come
on, Clark, the heaven say,

207
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,799
wather in the lors when I tie
my shoestring kneeling down for tend things for

208
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:59,120
typing his shoe lace. Can't listen? Hello, libride, that's the porter

209
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,639
can in the goods laying of getting
suspicions? What do you think we want

210
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:08,279
to do? No? No,
no, I'm not getting nervous. All

211
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,799
right, okay, let you say
did they get any Nosio. We have

212
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,880
to do something about them, and
do it quick. Right, I'll see

213
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,839
you later, good bye, Clark. Hann't you finish tying that you life?

214
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:30,920
Yes? Yes, just finished.
Laws let's go. Well, this

215
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,319
is a strange turn of events that
begins to shed light on the mystery of

216
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,079
the Tinman. In just a moment, we'll return to the adventures of Superman.

217
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:45,319
But right now here is another important
methods they gang isn the fact that

218
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,119
when you get something extra good to
eat at breakfast, it kind of gives

219
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,640
your left for the rest of the
day. Kind you're does for me.

220
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:55,400
And that's why I want to tell
you all about that sulper delicious teri old

221
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,799
kellogg set, because those crisp golden
flakes, says the dog on Good.

222
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,039
He just can't afford to pairs them
up he has, sir, there's nothing

223
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,319
like a big bull full of crisp
delicious Kellogg's Tap when it comes at downright

224
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,079
good eating. What's more, Kellogg's
Tap is good for you as well as

225
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:17,160
good to eat. Thou'll start right
now making delicious Kellogg's Tep part of your

226
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:21,279
regular breakfast. Huh. Ask your
mother to get you a package of Kellogg's

227
00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:25,680
Tap when she's at the Star tomorrow, and join the Pep parade right away.

228
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,119
Remember er Pep, get in step, make yours serial kellards Tep.

229
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,640
Now back to Superman. Unknown to
Lois, Superman and his guise of Kaulken

230
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:47,759
has overheard a most revealing conversation between
Yates Peterson, president of Metropolis Aircraft,

231
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,559
and doctor Lubwright, inventor of the
Tin Man. One of these two men

232
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,920
up to can they have had something
to do with the disappearance of the first

233
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,640
Tin Man and with what happened to
Lois and Professor Jogerson. Superman is determined

234
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,720
to get at the bottom of this
mystery, so don't miss tomorrow's exciting episode

235
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,079
and listen. Every day, Monday
through Friday, same time, same station.

236
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,960
Tune in and follow the adventures of
Superman. Bester than a Skating Bullet

237
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:30,039
and Welcome Homecolting Cold Building to a
single bound time. Follow the adventures of

238
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,559
Superman every day, Monday and through
Friday, same time, same station.

239
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,839
Superman is directed by George Lotha and
is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics

240
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:56,319
magazine. This is Mutual Welcome Back
some great Action. I love the fan

241
00:19:56,599 --> 00:20:03,880
as just a superb little action set
peace. I was kind of puzzled why

242
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:11,200
he was concerned about the machinist seeing
him, Like, why did you get

243
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:18,720
nervous about that? Because it seems
like Superman's existence is known, though I

244
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:26,160
guess based on the conversation in the
office where the manager wasn't sure that Superman

245
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:36,480
actually existed, it sounds as if
it's perhaps rumored but not fully confirmed.

246
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,720
It was who no, Superman exist, No, and then everybody else either

247
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,319
belaves or disbelieves. And I don't
know, he's trying to minimize the number

248
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:51,480
of people who know he's Superman.
I know at the beginning Superman was trying

249
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:56,559
to keep his existence a secret,
which you know usually to do that flying

250
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,000
around in a blue and red costume
is very helpful, though I honestly thought

251
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:04,160
they were past that at this point. They definitely will be in the post

252
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:14,720
war episodes. I did like how
they questioned the timing of the new prototype,

253
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,319
but essentially just talking, you know, like reasonable people, like that's

254
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,519
not how science is supposed to work. There's generally not a rush. You're

255
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:30,160
going to do small scale test and
even if you had a larger model that

256
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,839
was stolen, you're going to take
some time to do some testing. You're

257
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:40,000
not going to rush it out.
So I did like that sort of reason

258
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,079
because there can be a little bit
of hand wavy stuff about science, particularly

259
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:52,160
in science fiction of this era,
so I thought that was a good a

260
00:21:52,359 --> 00:22:00,519
good bit in there. We also
did have a difference in pronunciation, where

261
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:06,200
most people were calling the scientists doctor
live rot and then yet the manager calling

262
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:12,680
him doctor live rot so, and
that can happen in audio productions where you

263
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:18,440
know, I'm maybe in film and
television as well, that the director is

264
00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:25,599
focused on something else, you know, and doesn't notice that some of the

265
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:32,720
actors have taken entirely different pronunciations from
how things are supposed to be pronounced and

266
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:38,559
how people in that world would pronounce
it. I also kind of questioned the

267
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:48,400
scene with Clark and Superman Superhering where
he has to stay in the office hallway

268
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:52,960
to hear through the door. That's
not much range for the old Superhering.

269
00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:59,400
You know. I've, of course, I've grown up on Superman. You

270
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,680
know, just this past year in
the Superman in Lois series, Superman flew

271
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:08,319
up into the sky and listened to
the whole world. Of course, this

272
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:12,960
is nineteen forty three, but even
by then, I think the Superhering range

273
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,000
was a little more than that.
So that was a little bit of an

274
00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:22,240
odd scene that he has to stay
that close, and Lois is probably just

275
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,400
looking at him, like, you
know, my grandmother taught me to tie

276
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,680
my shoe at you know, a
lot quicker than you. I did that

277
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:36,799
when I was five. What is
taking you so long down there just time

278
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:41,640
a shoe. But any rate,
we actually get to have the superhero used,

279
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:47,079
which is kind of a neat power
to see displayed here in the radio

280
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,079
program. Now, let's go ahead
and we're going to get on to part

281
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,240
six, or what we have of
part six. Now, I will say

282
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,720
that there was a little bit more
of this. We have the open to

283
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:10,599
Superman, and we had the commercial. However, that was really really fragmented.

284
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,519
It would skip words, it would
skip senses, so it was a

285
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:17,880
bit of a mess. So we're
not playing that. And I tried to

286
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:25,759
and I should say on all of
these that there can be issues with repeats

287
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:30,799
and the sound and skips. I've
tried to clean up the worst parts of

288
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,000
it, but you know, do
bear with us. These are somewhat rare

289
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:44,079
recordings of eighty year old programs,
so your understanding is appreciated. With that

290
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,680
said, let's go ahead and take
a listen to the main plot part of

291
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:56,680
the Ten Men, Part six from
January the eleventh of nineteen forty three.

292
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,200
Superman, Superman and the guise of
Barkent is now trying to solve the mystery

293
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,559
of the Tin Man. An amazing
mechanical man built by a certain doctor Livewright.

294
00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:15,240
The first tin man vanished under very
strange circumstances. Doctor Livewright, however,

295
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,319
constructed another which. As our last
episode ended, he was demonstrating to

296
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,640
an audience of stockholders of the Metropolis
Aircraft Corporation, to whom he wanted to

297
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,359
sell the inventions for two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. But something went wrong

298
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,039
with the demonstration. The mechanical man, nicknamed Roberts, refused to obey doctor

299
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,559
Livewright's command and began to act as
if it had gone crazy. Pandemonium broke

300
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,319
loose in the audience as the mechanical
man, totally out of control, began

301
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:48,519
to stride across the stage. Listen, look he stop, Robert, I

302
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,599
did not tell you to stop.
Stoper live right say. Something must have

303
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,160
gone wrong, yes, but I
don't know why. Just a white stop

304
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,000
right stop? What if you hear
that more? He's coming say to me,

305
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:07,240
got him that country, But I
don't know. I don't think the

306
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:10,200
boy don't like when some dials talk
to him, do something like God like

307
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,200
stop go ight say in the audience
are beginning to run out. You can

308
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:17,079
live right in the name and many
still coming quickly. There's something I can

309
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,960
do. I got you in man, is I'm control. That's that's a

310
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,319
little thing. Nothing I can do
and I don't deal. You can go

311
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,079
down elamor what what did you day? Night? That man a good deal

312
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,039
you can't do at the first day. And you know it, Man,

313
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:37,200
I'm mad a great thing. Look
keeps planning a deal thing and not deliver

314
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:41,599
something done? That right? Everyone, come for your life playing yes,

315
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,400
yes, the mechanical man that's great
yet got you? He does the dread

316
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:51,559
not at all the time, ladies
and gentle madam man here what I the

317
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:57,680
man have to say? You have
come here to be an amazing demonstrate and

318
00:26:57,759 --> 00:27:04,200
the all walking, talking, seeing
and thinking mechanical man that doctor Lema claims

319
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:10,160
to have a demanded Doctor Lemain was
going to show you how I am paid

320
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,799
is every command. I will not
obey his commands that he is not worthy

321
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:22,519
to command me. You men and
women gathered here to watch this demonstration.

322
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:29,240
Our all stockholders in the Metropolis Aircraft
Corporation, the president of which is mister

323
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,200
Peterson, who is trying to make
you invest two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

324
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:37,039
of your company's money in me,
mister Peterson, or not deliver. I

325
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,960
are not going your length of demonstration
that follows because it's going to reveal many

326
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:45,039
interesting things to you. Well,
what's that? What's that? Our deliberation?

327
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:48,680
You told these people, these stockholders
gathered here that I can see walk

328
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:52,279
and speak and think. Well,
and can't you You've been walking into demonstration

329
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,839
and now you are speaking, has
been thinking for yourself? You are demonstrating

330
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,599
that perfectly right now. Oh y, I speaking and I'm thinking. But

331
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:08,720
you know well that I am not
my guide. Let me at all that

332
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,559
you whited the man, say the
man, and tied that that mechanical rubber

333
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,400
fan nothing. That's Clark Kent,
Allo, Keeve, and thanks for the

334
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,279
cover. I didn't mean. I
don't say, Steve, I know what

335
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:36,079
German if I was about. Several
hours later, in Perry White Poppers of

336
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,240
the Daily Planet, Clark Kent explains, and that's the entire story. Either

337
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:42,720
of you has any questions, I'll
be glad answer. I've got plenty of

338
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:45,680
questions. Cry all right. In
the first place, you say you discovered

339
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,799
this hide out of the German side
about two hundred miles from her, but

340
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,680
he said, Lois, that's what
he said, that I know of the

341
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,319
man who had stolen the first so
called him man. Well, what about

342
00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:56,759
it? But you haven't told us
how you discovered him professional secret. If

343
00:28:56,759 --> 00:29:00,680
you don't mind this lane, you
can read all of our at the Teacher's

344
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,759
story I've written for the Morrow's afternoon
edition. And then there's the element of

345
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:08,079
time. That demonstrationless afternoon took place
at three o'clock. By your own account,

346
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:11,960
you were at the German hightout at
noon today. How how did you

347
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,240
get to the auditorium two hundred miles
away, capture the guy who was going

348
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,319
to get inside that mechanical monster and
pull you a little trick all in the

349
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,799
space of three hours. Ah,
you forget chiefs that are natzie Fens had

350
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:26,000
a plane a helicopter at there cozy
hideout. I won't go to details,

351
00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:29,720
but it was easy enough. Well, then as I feat Cock, liber

352
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:33,200
right and Pearson were working together,
the hoodwinked the stockholder and mister White,

353
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:36,599
that's right, Liberrighte, with Peterson's
knowledge, had hired a man to get

354
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,759
inside the so called ten men and
perform when the stockholders were satisfied that the

355
00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:44,400
mechanical man could do what lib Right
claimed it could. Peterson was going to

356
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,799
hand him a certified check for two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Then later,

357
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,119
when the fraud was discovered, Peterson
of course, could claim that he

358
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,799
had been tricked along with the others. Meantime, he would have pocketed at

359
00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:57,119
half of that two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Well, can I congratulate

360
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,960
you on this job you've done,
even though I I can't really understand.

361
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,160
Oh you do it? This will
certainly do the Daily Planet a great he

362
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,480
look good in Metropolis. I don't
know what a story. Yes, I've

363
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:10,960
got to admit that myself, even
though it's Harry Poor. Thanks loud,

364
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:14,519
you're too chief. And the one
thing that disappoints me is the fact that

365
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:17,839
it was a hoax. I had
great hopes for that mechanical man, so

366
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,960
far as our war report is concerned. If the thing really couldn't fly a

367
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:26,559
plane, think of the lives of
American soldiers that would have saved. Excuse

368
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:33,759
me, yes, yes, but
oh no, well, I'll be send

369
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,720
him right. There is someone important. Doctor Leander Cameron is here, Doctor

370
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,000
Cameron. Good heavens I hadn't seen
him, and Superman rescued him from the

371
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:47,839
military Shire. What he wants now
another expedition, however he does, he's

372
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,000
wasting your time. I'll have no
more, Doctor Leander, Cameron Leander,

373
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,960
I think I must have shipt the
game here? You sure you, guys

374
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,359
Am Cavernanu with you? I know
one boy certainly through Butterfly, the pots

375
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,400
and pans, boxes and bottles of
all the descriptions. Really, professor be

376
00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:18,279
prepared, that is who knows my
motto, along with the boy Scouts of

377
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:21,000
America. Never put the side by
the day. Thought of it, Purstor

378
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:22,480
I did up. No be thought
of it, Purster, I did up.

379
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:25,680
No matter. It's a good motto, don't you say? Yes?

380
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,200
Of course? What brings you here
today? Heading? An excellent question for

381
00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:33,680
which I have an excellent answer heading? I want to talk to you about

382
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,680
and gain your support for the mechanical
man known as the tin Man. Hold

383
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,759
on my part, I'm that far. No, no, no, no,

384
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,640
I didn't mean that. What I
meant was, so far as I'm

385
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,720
concerned, the tin Man is over
and done with. It was nothing more

386
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:48,640
or less than a chief trick a
frock. You're young Perry. If the

387
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:53,200
tin man was and is margin that's
what do you mean? Didn't Clark expose

388
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:56,119
it? Yes? Yet of course
I was in that audience today that came

389
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,680
to watch the demonstration. I was
just with the scientific delegations as it happens.

390
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:04,839
Petty, I know doctor lives right
very well. A matter of fact,

391
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,799
he came to me often to help
him in the construction of his mechanical

392
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,920
man. He did, no,
Leanner, don't tell me you're him on

393
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,880
this whole show on the country,
pey quite on the country. You see,

394
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,240
doctor lives right with very since here
about his mechanical man until our offend,

395
00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:23,559
mister Peterson approached him with his neparia
came to make money. It was

396
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,559
then on realizing that he could make
seventy five thousand dollars with such ease that

397
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:35,039
lever Rights took the fast competition and
so on. So what so this mister

398
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Kent, I know, I destin
Leandy and Major Cameron know that that can

399
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:43,839
be such a thing as a ten
man, a mechanical man who can see,

400
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:53,640
speak what and welcome back. Well, Really a solid duck clips there

401
00:32:53,759 --> 00:33:00,319
and we can see that the truth
was revealed. And that's the end of

402
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:07,160
the day that doctor live Right didn't
live right, But doctor Cameron is offering

403
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,680
us a chance that there might be
a ten Man, which will actually set

404
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:19,640
up the next part of the serial, and really is all we technically would

405
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:27,799
need to hear. Now, this
little bit we get definitely does make me

406
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,480
feel like it is a shame that
there is so much of the World War

407
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:40,319
two Superman that is missing. We
essentially have practically nothing for all of nineteen

408
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:46,319
forty three and forty four, and
most of the first half until the fall

409
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:52,279
of nineteen forty five is pretty much
missing, with just a few exceptions.

410
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:59,319
Because this sounds like a really fun
and exciting era to listen to, although

411
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:06,640
course you have the backdrop of war, which I think definitely for kids listening

412
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:13,119
would have, I guess, been
a bit of encouragement and occasionally a bit

413
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:17,960
of escape when the real life headlines
work Raham and the adults were worrying quite

414
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,159
a bit. But doctor Cameron seems
like just such a fun, quirky character

415
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:29,840
who doesn't get annoying, at least
not from what we've heard in this story.

416
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:35,480
And of course, the whole bit
with Superman dealing with the Nazi spy

417
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:40,039
ring. It just makes me just
makes me miss having those parts. That

418
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:47,639
said, I did actually think that
this was an above average session of Clark

419
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:57,519
Kent explaining his actions and being as
convincing as possible so that he seems less

420
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:01,480
like he actually could be Superman and
more like he's a man of mystery,

421
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:08,400
which I think is something that he
does not mind his friend's thinking. Well,

422
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:14,519
with that said, we're going to
find out what happens with doctor Cameron

423
00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:19,400
and his effort as a mechanical man. So let's get into the Ten Men,

424
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:27,920
Part seven from January the twelfth of
nineteen forty three. That's the little

425
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:45,639
speeding bootcome able to leave pull buildings, that the thing go bound Superman drains

426
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,800
visit up from another world who came
to Earth with powers and abilities po beyond

427
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,239
those of Bottleman. Superman who can
change the cause of mighty rivers, bend

428
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:59,320
the field in his bare hand,
and who disguised as part can mild mended

429
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,880
the pot up. A great Metropolitan
newspaper fights a never ending battle for truth,

430
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:07,960
justice, and the American Way.
But before we join Superman, here

431
00:36:08,159 --> 00:36:14,119
is an important message. Say,
fellows and girls, ever try one of

432
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:16,320
those quiz games in your gang,
My pal, Jerry Lincoln, I started

433
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,159
one the other day with his best
friend, and we sure had a busy

434
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:22,039
time of it. Okay, tell
me, it's your turn. What's a

435
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:25,639
catafighter? No, no, no, fear telling him? Now, come

436
00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:30,000
on, Tommy, what's a catafighter? Give up? Yeah? I give

437
00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:32,639
up? All right, Jerry?
You telling him? Ah, that's easy.

438
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,400
A catifighter is one of those little
planes and merchant ships carried. They

439
00:36:37,519 --> 00:36:39,960
launch it by catapults. Only you
can't get a catafighter back aboard because those

440
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,320
ships don't carry hasting equipment. It
stays right in the sea and the clue

441
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,320
gets picked up by boat. Good
for you, mister Kings. Oh no,

442
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,400
here's sure. What country invented dive
bomber? Ah? That's easy?

443
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,519
Germany? No, no, you're
me? Are you dumb? The United

444
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:58,360
States? Slavians? Then a dive
bombing? Okay, Jerry, if you're

445
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,320
so smart, see if you and
at you this one? What is a

446
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:10,079
vitamin? Hm? Well, a
vitamin is a well it's it? Oh

447
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,840
gosh, well, gang, I
can tell you right now. Very few

448
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,360
people actually know just exactly what a
vitamin is, but we do know what

449
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:20,760
vitamins can do for us. You
see, it's this way. None of

450
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,800
you can expect to grow up really
strong and husky unless you eat right.

451
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:27,760
And eating right includes getting all your
vitamins. And I can't think of a

452
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,480
better way to start getting two mighty
important vitamins D one and D than by

453
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:37,119
tucking into a swell take bowl full
of delicious Kellogg's pep for breakfast. Yes,

454
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:42,159
sir, it's that easy. And
gosh, anybody who's lucky enough to

455
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,280
have had a taste of crisp crunchy
pep knows what a super delicious cereal it

456
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:51,480
really is. So how's about doing
yourself a double favor? Hey, gang,

457
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:55,000
Just ask your mother to get you
a package of delicious Kelloggs pep tomorrow

458
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:00,159
and start right now having a mighty
swell tasting breakfast. That's mighty swell for

459
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:07,360
you. Remember the name now tap
p e P tap is made by Kelloggs.

460
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:14,880
In Battle Creek, Michigan and now
the Adventures of Superman. As you

461
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:17,920
know, doctor Lean, the Cameron
extensic scientists, believing there are possibilities in

462
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,639
the mechanical Man, has set about
building one with the financial backing of the

463
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,280
Daily Planets. Unknown to doctor Cameron
and his friends Clark Kent, Lois Lane

464
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,119
and Edit. The Perry White dark
forces are already at work, planning to

465
00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:34,960
seize the mechanical Man. When it's
completed. As would resume our story,

466
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:38,679
we find ourselves in a lavish penthouse
apartment in a very fashionable part of Metropolis.

467
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,559
In the apartment, we see a
tall, thin man dressed in a

468
00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:47,199
jet black dressing gown who is seated
before an open fireplace. He has a

469
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:52,760
hawklike face with a sharp nose and
small beady eyes that's deep in his head.

470
00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:57,639
At this moment, he is engaged
in cleaning and polishing a beautiful pearl

471
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:04,159
handled revolver. An oak door opened
somewhere in the room behind him. Yes,

472
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,159
jetsam the gentleman who called the theater
excellent, show him in very good

473
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:16,119
sup we'll follow me. Sure you
are James Mansfield Blood, that's right,

474
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:21,320
and you will about you? Yes, sit down, mister Blood. Thanks,

475
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:24,119
nice layout you got here, about
you? Thank you. I am

476
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:30,920
fond of elegant surroundings, so I
see pretty flatty, i'd say, Well,

477
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:35,199
everybody to his own taste. Hello, before I hire you, press

478
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,519
jeal, I want done. I'd
like to know if you can do like

479
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:39,719
you say you can do. You
mean to cure the model of the mechanical

480
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,440
man for you, Yeah, that's
right, I have no doubt about that.

481
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,639
I am not the head of my
profession for nothing, mister Flood.

482
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:52,199
There isn't anything I cannot accomplish.
The vultchair always finds a way. Well,

483
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,840
that's what they tell me. They're
kind of a jack of all trade,

484
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,840
thank you. I prefer to think
of myself as a master of all

485
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,320
trades, mister Blood. Sound okay
to me, I say okay. Probably

486
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,639
the famous actor and disguised artist in
the world. I have always considered myself

487
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:12,760
as great an artist in the matter
of escape as Houdini him Kin never had

488
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,400
the opportunity to match my ability against
his. Well, I'm sure glad to

489
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,360
have you working for me. You
ofer me. I can't make in that.

490
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:22,639
You are perfectly right. But let's
get back to the mechanical man you

491
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:28,239
want into scurefoils, right, just
a model as a wacky old scientist named

492
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,000
doctor Leander Cameron who's working at it. This mechanical man is supposed to be

493
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:36,239
able to see, talk, walk, and actually think. Sounds incredible,

494
00:40:36,639 --> 00:40:38,920
Are you sure if what I've heard
is true. Yes, doctor Cameron,

495
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,440
they tell me, never takes on
a job unless he's sure he can do

496
00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,800
it. He promised that at the
Perry White of the Daily Planet that he

497
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,000
would invent this mechanical wonder, and
I'm sure he will interesting mechanical man who

498
00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:55,960
can walk, talk, see and
think positively intriguing, to say nothing of

499
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,079
its value in hard coin of the
realm. I'm told millions could be made

500
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:06,360
out of such an invention. There
isn't a government in the world who wouldn't

501
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:12,079
pay plenty to possess the plans of
such a device. By George, we

502
00:41:12,199 --> 00:41:16,639
could sell it to the highest bidderf
we you mean I could remember about you?

503
00:41:17,199 --> 00:41:21,440
You're working for me? Oh,
yes, I am working for you.

504
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,599
I have forgotten for the moment.
And where is doctor Cameron's laboratory located?

505
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,239
All the dope is on the sheet
of paper I wrote it out for

506
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:34,239
you so you wouldn't forget excellence.
I shall begin at once to make inquiries

507
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,719
as to the progress of a mechanical
man. Within a short time after it

508
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:43,880
is completed, it will be in
my hands, never fear great, and

509
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,719
you can turn it over to me
and collect your dough for doing a job.

510
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,039
I'm afraid we're going to have a
little difficulty about that, mister Blood.

511
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:53,880
What do you mean. I've done
very well at my business, mister

512
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:59,639
Blood. As you can see,
I haven't reached this position of comfort and

513
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:05,719
for acial security by working for others. I work for myself, mister Blood,

514
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,159
and I work alone. Now just
a minute about. You've been very

515
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,719
helpful in putting me under this excellent
opportunity. I am grateful to you.

516
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,599
However, business his business, and
so at barber while you're pointing at me.

517
00:42:21,079 --> 00:42:32,079
Wait, no, you rang up? Yes, yets. A gentleman

518
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:38,119
seems to have overstayed his welcome.
Take him away, and so enters our

519
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:42,679
story. The Vulture, a villain
destined to play an important role in the

520
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,119
lives of our friends, especially in
the life of Superman. I'll see now

521
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,519
changes to the laboratory of doctor Leander
Cameron. Doctor Cameron is seated before a

522
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:55,599
work pension which stands the foot high
replica of the mechanical Man with several long

523
00:42:55,719 --> 00:43:00,760
instruments that look like needle. He
is fitting something into the the the mechanism

524
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:07,079
Nicodemus, doctor Cameron's helper stands by. Listen, Yeah, Nikodemus, hand

525
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,599
me that tiny school ask for a
politia. Don't get it, Nicodemus.

526
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:15,079
I cannot hold this piece of mechanism
in place without that screw. Hand it

527
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:16,480
to me, not until you ask, like I was a human thing and

528
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:21,760
not a slave. Very well,
very well, will you please hand me

529
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,039
that screw, Nicodemus, halfway show
doctor, Here you are, Thank you,

530
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,280
Nicodemus, Thank you. You're welcome. Doctor. Hey, how's a

531
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,440
mechanical man coming? I think you'll
be able to perfect it. I should

532
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,079
know in a few moments. I've
only to put this part in place in

533
00:43:37,159 --> 00:43:39,199
the mechanical man, that is this
model on the table before me. We'll

534
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,159
be ready to perform. If it
does as I expect it to do,

535
00:43:43,639 --> 00:43:47,920
I shall have been successful. They
love screwdiver handed to me, Nickodemus.

536
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,760
Please please, there's a signal night. I'll go to the door. Ask

537
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,559
who's there first. I'm expecting Clark
tend to watch my demonstration. But be

538
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:04,360
sure before you admit it. Yeah, there, Damer's get all right,

539
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,920
I'm open up. Oh nigodmer Cameron, Yeah, a half hour early.

540
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,079
I didn't expect to be Part three
thirty. Oh, well, I had

541
00:44:13,119 --> 00:44:15,360
nothing particular to do this afternoon,
doctor, thought i'd drop over earlier.

542
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:21,360
Well, Kent, as it happens, you're just in time. That there,

543
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:25,079
that's complete it you mean your mechanical
man is ready to be tested,

544
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:29,840
doctor, Yes, that is the
model is ready for testing. And NICKI

545
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:36,599
be must bring may be control mechanisms, if you please, Yes, tent

546
00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:40,639
time table. Excited, terribly excited. This little mechanical man standing on my

547
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,000
work bench may be the par runner
of thousands like him, mechanical men who

548
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:50,880
can fire our planes, drive our
tanks, marching to battle against the enemies,

549
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:55,599
an indestructible part against wich Hitler and
his tatellites will be helpless. Yes,

550
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,599
yes, yes, yes, And
the doctor, you're quite right,

551
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,960
exactly exactly the control box, Thank
you, Nicodemus, thank you. Now,

552
00:45:02,119 --> 00:45:07,119
then I will just plug it in
here. So and now, gentlemen,

553
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:09,079
we are ready. As soon as
the eyes of the mechanical man begin

554
00:45:09,159 --> 00:45:14,199
to shine, I shall give it
certain commands if it obeys them. They're

555
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:19,679
shining now, certainly, look eerie, two green lights shining in that square

556
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,320
metal hip. Are you ready for
the expediment? Now, my two men

557
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:32,880
I command you walk toward me.
He's walking coming straight towards you. Stop.

558
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:37,880
I command you stop. Doctor.
That's terrific. Congratulations, Doc,

559
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,480
you've done it again. Hi,
gentlemen, let's have the premature knownded,

560
00:45:42,599 --> 00:45:46,760
never be premature. Let this team
now, a physical man will talk repeat

561
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:58,639
after me. I am a mechanical
man. Great heaven, doctor, that's

562
00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:02,639
a stony, a simple scientific achievement. Actually kent. The reaction of sound

563
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,480
laves on a mechanism similar to a
talking machine. But come come, I'm

564
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:10,280
anxious to see if the mechanism can
say for itself. As you see,

565
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:15,440
I have elected the difficult obstacle upheld
the mechanical man to walk to the other

566
00:46:15,559 --> 00:46:19,199
end of the table. Let us
see if he has the brain power to

567
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,320
overcome the obstacle. Little man,
walk to that end of the table.

568
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:31,199
Amazing, simply amazing, By heavens, he's walking towards the obstacle. He's

569
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:37,840
reached the obstacle and stopped. Now
let us see what he does. Look,

570
00:46:37,679 --> 00:46:42,519
he's moving a road. He's turned
it aside and moved right around it.

571
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,360
There he's stopped. Brother, that's
th Doc, You've really done it

572
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,800
again. That mechanism can see talk
walk and thanks for itself. What's looking

573
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,800
so funny about, doctor? A
man of metal? It can take for

574
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,480
itself. I hope gentlemen, who
have not invented something we shall not be

575
00:46:59,559 --> 00:47:02,320
able to tools in the hands of
the wrong people. This invention could do

576
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:07,880
as much harm as good we which
guided Cathie. Gentlemen, most Catherine,

577
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,679
don't worry about that, Doc,
And here a fact. You can forget

578
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:15,360
the mechanical man altogether. I'm taking
over from here by tech tink tent.

579
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:20,599
That prehender revolt in your handing you're
pointing it's taken me tent. What's the

580
00:47:20,679 --> 00:47:22,239
meaning of it? What's the big
guy there? For one thing? I

581
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:28,639
want that model of the mechanical man
or another thing. I am not careful

582
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,880
Nicodemus, She said, Juniper,
Now that I really look at him,

583
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,960
that man is not Clark Kent.
No, No, I see that now

584
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:37,639
myself. He's ranking a heavy disguise. But if you're not clock Hinch,

585
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:44,679
who are you? I? Doctor
Cameron am called the bolt chair. Shocked

586
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,719
into speechlessness, Doctor Cameron and Nicodemus
can only stand and stare at the strange

587
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:52,880
looking individual who only a moment ago
had appeared to be Clark Kent and just

588
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:55,880
the moment will return to the inventu
of the Superman. But right now here

589
00:47:57,039 --> 00:48:01,000
is another important methods. They gang, how many of you are lucky enough

590
00:48:01,039 --> 00:48:04,360
to have a dog at your house. Well, I'll bet you take just

591
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,920
about the finest care in the world
of him, and you make sure he

592
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,079
gets plenty of the right kind of
the husky. And you know the same

593
00:48:09,159 --> 00:48:13,039
thing applies to every one of us
too. Well, you can't expect to

594
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:16,320
be a really strong, sturdy fellower

610
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:46,159
is directed by George Lofer and is
a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics Magazine.

611
00:49:52,000 --> 00:50:00,760
This is mutual well an absolutely impressive
villain entrance by the Vulture. You

612
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,760
know, I think the listener might
have thought that, you know, mister

613
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,840
Blood was going to be our villain, and he just pulls the rug right

614
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,599
out from under mister Blood and gets
rid of him in short order. Though

615
00:50:14,639 --> 00:50:17,599
I kind of wonder did he shoot
him with the revolver he was cleaning,

616
00:50:17,679 --> 00:50:23,559
because I don't think people generally have
bullets in the gun when they're cleaning it.

617
00:50:24,039 --> 00:50:29,480
But he could have had another revolver
in there, that's always a possibility.

618
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:36,920
But then you get to the scene
with Doctor Cameron and Clark kent't entering,

619
00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:40,039
and you know the Vulture is gonna
make a move, And this just

620
00:50:40,519 --> 00:50:46,159
really surprised me. I remember just
being floored when I listened to this and

621
00:50:47,199 --> 00:50:51,639
it's like, it's not Clark Kent, it's the Vulture, and I was

622
00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:55,159
like, Okay, I was not
expecting him to move that fast. But

623
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,639
that was just a great twist.
I really really love that, and it's

624
00:51:01,679 --> 00:51:07,239
a great look. Like I said, that's just a superb introductory episode for

625
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:14,679
a villain. I can't recall any
episode of Superman that introduced a villain so

626
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:20,000
well. Over the radio program.
You're just immediately like, this guy is

627
00:51:20,079 --> 00:51:24,760
going to be a challenge, just
incredibly cold blooded, incredibly efficient. I

628
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:34,039
did find myself a bit curious about
the personnel issues between Doctor Cameron and Nicodemus.

629
00:51:34,599 --> 00:51:38,800
It's like, Okay, so do
you guys do this every day or

630
00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:46,760
has Nicodemus just reached his limit today, because that could get a bit monotonous.

631
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,760
Though, I think from the writer's
perspective, that little bit of back

632
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:57,519
and forth that was I think a
bit too kind of distract and maybe a

633
00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:02,880
bit of misdirections. So overall a
really effective episode and I hope you enjoyed

634
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:09,079
it. Just so much fun.
Now we will be back with part eight

635
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:15,360
on Wednesday, which are January thirteenth, nineteen forty three. And as I

636
00:52:15,679 --> 00:52:21,199
was doing, I think since the
third, second or third year of the

637
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:27,679
podcast, I don't have any opening
commentaries on the Wednesday programs. In fact,

638
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:36,159
I technically probably shouldn't have come out
to talk after this episode in alignment

639
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,000
with the way that I've been doing
things, but this episode was just so

640
00:52:39,159 --> 00:52:44,559
much fun I needed to talk about
it on its own. But in future

641
00:52:45,559 --> 00:52:50,280
installments on Sunday, there won't be
any post episode commentary. That will be

642
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,480
just on Wednesday. And we'll be
doing this for the next three weeks,

643
00:52:54,119 --> 00:52:58,800
so this week and then the two
weeks following, but that will be all.

644
