1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Boys and girls your attention, please presenting a new exciting

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,439
radio program featuring the thrilling adventures of an amazing and

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,359
incredible personality. Faster than an airplane, more powerful than a locomotive,

4
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:18,440
impervious to bullets.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Up in the sky. Look, it's a bird, it's a plain,

6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:22,440
It's Superman.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,559
Speaker 1: And now Superman, a being no larger than an ordinary man,

8
00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:34,560
but possessed of powers and abilities never before realized on Earth.

9
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:36,759
Able to leap into the air an eighth of a

10
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:40,039
mile at a single bound hurdle a twenty story building

11
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,039
with ease, raise a high powered bullet to its target,

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,679
lift tremendous weights, and rends solid steel in his bare

13
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:52,119
hands as though it were paper. Superman a strange visitor

14
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:57,119
from a distant planet, champion of the oppressed, physical marvel extraordinary,

15
00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:00,560
who has sworn to devote his existence on her to

16
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:04,760
helping those in need. As our story begins, we ask

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,040
you to come with us on a far journey, a

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,599
journey that takes us millions of miles from the Earth,

19
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:13,239
where the planet Krypton burns like a green star in

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,200
the endless heavens. Here, civilization is far advanced. It has

21
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:20,760
brought forth a race of supermen, men and women like ourselves,

22
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:25,840
but advance to the absolute peak of human perfection. As

23
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:29,159
we near Krypton, we see high walls and gleaming turrets.

24
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,760
We approach the magnificent Temple of Wisdom, and there in

25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,719
a great hall. Jorel, Krypton's foremost man of science, is

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,719
about to address a meeting of the planet's governing council.

27
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,319
Speaker 3: Attentions, attention, gentlemen, follows speech.

28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: Members of the council.

29
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:57,159
Speaker 3: I have completed my solar calculations, and what do I dread?

30
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: Uttering these words? I have come to the conclusion Krypton

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,319
is doomed.

32
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Did I hear him right?

33
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: Tender man, gendle man, gender man, hear him out?

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:16,599
Speaker 3: These internal quakes we've been experiencing, These volcanic eruptions, tidal waves,

35
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:19,520
gas escaping from giant craters.

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,759
Speaker 2: All point to only one thing.

37
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: Gentlemen, Krypton is utterly and finally doomed.

38
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm a mass man.

39
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 4: One moment, tangle man, one moment. There is no cause

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,960
for anxiety. I am certain Joell has made a mistake.

41
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,879
Speaker 5: Through we have had a few minor quakes and your options,

42
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:42,479
but nothing very serious.

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: There must be some error in your calculations. You're like,

44
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:47,080
oh no, there is.

45
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: No herosand I only wish there were.

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,479
Speaker 4: The Sun is gradually drawing Krypton closetly.

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: Within a month, possibly only a week, the gravitational pull

48
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,280
will be so true tremendous that Krepton will not be

49
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,479
able to weather the strain. And then then our planet

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,120
will explode like a giant bubble, destroying every living thing

51
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:10,439
on it.

52
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,039
Speaker 1: Assuming for the.

53
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: Moment, Joel, and what you say is true, how are

54
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:22,879
we to avoid it? What can we do to stop it?

55
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,360
There is only one way.

56
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: As you all know, I have been working on a

57
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,439
spaceship designed for interplanetary trap.

58
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,199
Speaker 6: With time and ignited at.

59
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: What we might transport the entire population of Krypton to

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,039
another world.

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: Impossible? Where will we go to the Earth? My studies

62
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,879
tell me the atmosphere of the Earth is very nearly

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,840
the same as our own. You have been working too hard,

64
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:51,280
jo Men.

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,599
Speaker 2: You need a rest.

66
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,599
Speaker 7: Believe me.

67
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: We have the utmost respect for your knowledge and integrity.

68
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,879
But this is carrying into bom Man's as large as

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,039
Krypton do not explode, Jodell. Wait, do you hear that?

70
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 7: Gentleman?

71
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: It's a forewarning of tomb.

72
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,039
Speaker 2: Every moment is.

73
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:12,919
Speaker 4: Pressureus now thanks like that as sounding the death bell

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,479
a Krypton.

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: It will happen, gentlemen.

76
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,439
Speaker 4: And happen soon when the last.

77
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:19,319
Speaker 7: Very eruption comes.

78
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 5: When it comes shot old, it shall find all of

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,160
us ready. If Crypton is to die, we shall die

80
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,279
with it. The party would be much too severe.

81
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: You like Hosanna and you members of the council. I

82
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:41,560
have no time to laugh. My wife Lara, and my

83
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,439
infant son.

84
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: Are dear to me.

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: It is not my wish to stand by and see

86
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
the nasty do I follow you.

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,439
Speaker 3: But the time will come, and that time is perhaps

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,600
very close at hand, when you will wish you had

89
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,959
heeded the words of your ell.

90
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,399
Speaker 2: Now you me a fool, But.

91
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: Remember what I have said, gentlemen, when Kryptom is shattered

92
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,079
to a thousand million stars, when the glorious civilization we

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,120
have built is no more, when you.

94
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,759
Speaker 4: And your families are swept from the faith of Krypton,

95
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:22,959
like that horder you have heard Giorrel speak. Isn't your

96
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:23,439
waste that.

97
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,199
Speaker 5: Need of both time and money for the building of

98
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,639
spaceships or the transportation of Kryptom's.

99
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,319
Speaker 4: Population to another planet. I am sorry, Jourel. The council

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,879
has spoken yes and signed the jet warans and every

101
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:43,759
living thing on Crypton. Well, I have done mymestic convintional.

102
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,879
Now all that remains for me is to proceed my

103
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,680
own means of salvation, my own spaceship, to save the

104
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:53,800
lives of those near and dear me. As for the

105
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:55,720
rest of you, may the.

106
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:10,759
Speaker 3: Gods have mercy on your soul your rather smile absolutely, ah.

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,199
Speaker 2: Lara, I can see.

108
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:09,439
Speaker 7: I came out to take the air on the terrace.

109
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,079
It's been terribly hot all day. Is that because we're

110
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:15,680
being drawn to the sun? Girelle. Yes, what did the

111
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,920
council have to say about that?

112
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 8: I I didn't mention.

113
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 7: It is the model of your spaceship almost finished.

114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, I just drove the last river. How does

115
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:25,519
it look?

116
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 7: Splendid? But will it work?

117
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: Ah?

118
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 8: That remains to be seen.

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 6: If it does work, I shall immediately begin construction of

120
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:36,560
another just like it, only much larger, one big enough

121
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,199
to carry all three of us to another world.

122
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:38,759
Speaker 2: Gurelle.

123
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,759
Speaker 7: When will that be? Every moment that we spend waiting

124
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:42,439
and wondering?

125
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,319
Speaker 8: I know, I know, Lara, It's been hard on all

126
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,560
of us, and particularly hard on you. How is the

127
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,439
boy sleeping?

128
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:50,879
Speaker 7: Girelle? That bick this afternoon frightened him, But he's all

129
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,600
right now. Can't you come in and look at him?

130
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:55,839
You scarcely see him these days? What was working all

131
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:57,079
hours on the spaceship model?

132
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,959
Speaker 6: It can't be helped, dear. I'm racing against time right now.

133
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:02,879
I am anxious to know whether the model will behave

134
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:03,360
as I hope.

135
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,439
Speaker 7: How does it operate?

136
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,199
Speaker 8: Very simply?

137
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:09,839
Speaker 6: When all is ready, I throw this switch that closes

138
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,519
the circuit, and electric energy bills up pressure in the

139
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:16,240
atomic generators. Then at the final moment, the pressure forces

140
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,319
the ship from its carrier and speeds it on its way.

141
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 7: But where does it go?

142
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 8: Wherever? It's pointed this one? I am directing to the

143
00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:24,160
planet Earth, Earth?

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 7: What is that? Jerome?

145
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: A planet smaller than our own, situated on the other

146
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,120
side of the sun. It's inhabited by a race of

147
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,519
people similar to ourselves, like ourselves, well only partly, of course,

148
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,879
my dear. They're about the same size, but nowhere nearly

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,600
is developed, very weak and helpless, and with all their

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,480
faculties extremely limited.

151
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,839
Speaker 8: How do you mean there's something like this. You know

152
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:54,240
how far you step when you want to go somewhere

153
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,319
practically as.

154
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,079
Speaker 7: Far as I want? Why one step takes me to

155
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,800
Brasta's house near the fountain.

156
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,319
Speaker 8: Exactly well down where I'm sending this spaceship. It's quite different.

157
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 6: An earth man steps only three feet at a time

158
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,519
at most, and everything else is in proportion.

159
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:11,279
Speaker 7: And that's where we're going.

160
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 8: Oh, how dreadful, my dear, Which would you rather do?

161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,399
Go to Earth and live or stay on Krypton and die.

162
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 7: I'll do anything you say, Zuel anything. It doesn't matter

163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,160
to me whether we live or die, as long as

164
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:25,759
we're together. It's only the boy I worry about.

165
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,279
Speaker 8: I know, a Lara Darling. Don't worry, He'll be saved.

166
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 7: When are you testing the spaceship model?

167
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 6: In the morning, just as dawn breaks, I'll send it

168
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480
on its way, watching its flight through a high powered

169
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:40,039
telescope to see whether it lands safely on Earth?
