Speaker 1: Hellog Pep, the super Delicious Cereal Present, the adventures of
If We're Man, I said, And a feeding bullet more
powerful than a locomo, able to leave Paul Buildings at
a single bound.
Speaker 2: Off on the ski. It's a bird, It's a plane.
Speaker 1: Next super Man, Yes, it's super Man. O is today
completely mystified by the strange attack to see Jimmy Olsen
and Tony Sloan at the Lair of the Dragons. We'll
take you to the scene in a moment, but right
now here, Sam McCullough, was an important V Day reminder
for you. Say, dang, I guess you're just about as
excited as I am today. It's a good news. It
is well, isn't it. Yes, this is a day that
we've all been waiting for and working for. And what
a day it'll be when the war in the Pacific
is over too. And today you fellers and girls can
help make that day come sooner. Sure, keep right on
buying war stands, wants of them, Keep on collecting a
free bit of waste paper, save scrap metal, Keep on
doing the splendid work you have been doing right along.
Remind your friends and your neighbors that they must continue
to save every bit of Hu's back and turn it in.
And you girls can help mother with amending too. It's
important to make things over and make them last as
long as possible. In fact, there were countless ways in
which you can help. And believe me, those boys in
Europe really appreciate all the two fellows and girls have done,
and the points in the Pacific are counting on you
to go on doing the same thing for them too.
So Gang, the harder we all work, the sooner all
our boys will get back home, and then we can
really celebrate. And now the Adventures of Superman. Unaware that
Jimmy Olsen had been trapped by the Dragon, a mysterious
Japanese whom Clark can't believed was responsible for the disappearance
of Tony Sloane's a Daily Planet War correspondence, Kent permitted
himself to be captured by a henchman of the Dragons
take him to a house in sen and Pisco. Kent
found Jimmy and Tony in the custody of the Hooded Jack,
who told the three Planet reporters that they were about
to die in the same strange way in which the
NIF planned to eliminate our armed forces. Left in a
long room with Kim, Tony and Jimmy suddenly declared that
the flowers in the wall people were leaping out at them,
and a moment later they lost consciousness. As we continue, now, Kent,
puzzled and alarmed, has resumed his true identity of Cooper Man.
Speaker 3: This can't understand it. Something strange and it's from and
I don't know what it is. I've got to get
Jim and Tony out of here, and I'll hurry stop
with him through that board at window.
Speaker 1: Ohay, horses that I law gathering for Bret down to
that pot down.
Speaker 3: To get these wire bombs off them.
Speaker 1: Quick artificial reparation.
Speaker 2: See now out the air and notapping the wires from
the arms of Kim, Me and Tony.
Speaker 1: The man of Steel kneeles over the working their arms
and poking hair their desting lungs. After several anxious minutes, Oh, he's.
Speaker 2: Coming around to what happened?
Speaker 3: You alright him? I fancy to bring Tony two. I'm
there now, he's coming around.
Speaker 1: At the moment of so.
Speaker 3: Be okay the following Yes, Jim, Everything's all right, Tony.
Speaker 2: Sleep and lizards. Superman, I like him Steel all right now,
I sure mister can't.
Speaker 1: Tony look and Superman, Superman, are you really Superman can can't?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Put but where it he was in that room with
life to where.
Speaker 3: It can't He's all right, I tell you, hallo, you
fella stay here and right I'm going back to that
house for the dragon. Huh heah, we are that's a house.
I'll say, the dragon now and I'll just go down there. Wait,
oh house blow us. There's not a stick of at
least talked by what.
Speaker 1: He has just witnessed, Superman hovers above and keeping hole
of the Earth square but a moment before the dragon's
house had stood. Then, after a quick search of the neighborhood,
he drops to Earth. A few minutes later, once more
in his guy's reporter content, he enters the Blade in
the park, where Jimmy Osman and Tony Flown had just
risen unsteadily to their feet.
Speaker 3: I wonder what that explosion was.
Speaker 2: It sounded like a bomb or something. Then what if
they can yes, what happened to you? I would just say,
man said you were okay, but when you didn't show up,
we got worried.
Speaker 3: We were just gonna look look for it. I went
to look for the dragon, but I was too late,
too late. Uh huh, sraid he got away. I reached
his house just as he blew up. That was the
explosion you heard.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it happened. There's nothing left there
now except that you were hole in the ground.
Speaker 1: Holy mackerel. Do you think the dragon was blown up?
Speaker 3: Oh no, Jim, I'm pretty sure he was.
Speaker 2: Well what makes you say that, camp if the whole
house is blown I would right above, uh, right outside.
Speaker 3: The house, just before the explosion, And I'm reasonably certain
the dragon wasn't dinner.
Speaker 1: But you couldn't see in the house, mister Ken, Maybe he.
Speaker 3: Was just the same. I'm almost positive he got away, Jim.
I that is the superman scholar of the neighborhood. But
couldn't find the trace of him or his gang. The
police are checking now. Wish I knew would cause a
terrific explosion.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe the dragon had dynamite plant in the basement,
so when he makes a getaway.
Speaker 2: He can wash out all evidence.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought at first. But enough dynamite to
blow the whole house and foundation out of the ground.
To not leave a single brick or stone standing would
have to be planted more than one place, and that
would have caused more than one e flosure at the
right clock.
Speaker 2: I only heard one, though, so that I.
Speaker 3: Was only one. I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2: And another thing that bothers me.
Speaker 3: Are those those strange symptoms hue Fellas had before he
lost consciousness, thinking that the flowers in the wallpaper were
jumping out at you and not being able to breathe.
I don't understand that either.
Speaker 2: It's great you, but I forgot about that fun like why?
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, what to what happened to us
in that room and the house blowing up to him mysteriously?
That was all done by the Dragon's secret weapons, his
secret weapon, the one I was facing all over the
South Pacific until I was wounded. And look, Ken, don't
you remember what the Dragon said that Japan would destroy
our coups in the same way that he was knocking
us off. Yes, but that's how he plans to do
it with the secret weapon he used on us today.
And let's move find out what that weapon is and
learn how to deal with it.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: It will cause a lot.
Speaker 3: Of grief and maybe cost a lot of lives. But look, Tony,
I think you better tell a call.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm quick. Okay, come over that bench. My
thumb leg will hold me up. Oh here, wait a minute,
let me help you.
Speaker 3: If only I hadn't been wounded and nothing can happened
to sing song, I might have had all the answers
right now?
Speaker 2: What answers?
Speaker 1: And what sing song?
Speaker 2: I'll tell you a minute. Yeah, all right, better on
this bench, I can talk now.
Speaker 1: Well, start talking, Tony.
Speaker 2: What about the secret weapon?
Speaker 3: How did you disappear from that hospital ship?
Speaker 2: And what about these their squadron let didn't catch it?
Speaker 1: I'm all right now?
Speaker 2: You say the police are asked as the dragon can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope they have better luck finding him than
I did. They've got to find him. But I got
to tell you about this so he can help me.
I guess i'd better start from the beginning. Huh, Well
it begins. And when General MacArthur decided we were ready
to take back the Philippines, the big bombers started what
they called their milk runs, and the soft enough lous
On and I went along on a couple of a
flight as correspondent.
Speaker 2: On my second flight, we caught a lot of flak.
Speaker 1: One of our motors went out. Huh.
Speaker 2: We were limping back home, especially could when about a dozen.
Speaker 3: Jet zeros, jumpers, jeepers, our s gunners knocked down for
them and the others turned to run. All but one
devil We decided to win his way into jat Heaven
by coming at his head on. He managed to sheer
off a wing, and well, someone was were lucky enough
to be able to bail out.
Speaker 2: I was one of them. Oh what happened?
Speaker 1: Then, Tony, we landed in the seas. When the other
Jeff saw what had happened, they came back to staper
dirty rating just liked them, and you said it. I
didn't inflace my life for until they were gone, so
they missed me. Then I set up the raft, fined
in and it was so exhausted, fell asleep. When I
woke up, I was just off the main of his islands.
You ever saw, what was about the size of a
small backyard, had just one stunded tree on him, And
sitting by the tree with his head bowed was a native.
Speaker 2: Just him alone on that little island, And that rives Jim.
Speaker 3: I called to him.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't look up, so I paddled the shore and
called him again, but silly wouldn't look up. First I
thought he was dead, But when I walked over to
examine him, his eyes open and he looked up at me.
I had a fine looking native about twenty five. But
in all my life, I've never seen the suffering at
the man's face. I've seen lots of war. Who was he?
Speaker 2: Tony?
Speaker 1: He was the only man in the world except for
here hed his war cabinet, who knew the existence of
the Dragon's secret weapon, the weapon with which the japt
like to think they'll win the war.
Speaker 2: God, how did he hell?
Speaker 1: He was the only man in the world other than
the Jets who had witnessed the demonstration of the Dragon's
amazing weapon and let the teleiban. I'm coming to him naturally,
I asked him he was, and what going all along
in this tiny island that didn't even have a hut
on it.
Speaker 2: He had a long native name.
Speaker 1: I couldn't pronounce, but it sounded something like sing song,
So I call him that The first thing he told me.
I didn't want to believe you. But later, when I
looked at my map. I found he was telling the food.
He started this strange.
Speaker 3: Story two days ago. This was large islands, trees, flowers,
much fruit and vegetable, grow much fish and seas. Also
put three thousand people live here. Also half people?
Speaker 2: Three thousand people? Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Sing song?
Speaker 3: What do you say, Tony Stoon?
Speaker 2: I say, you don't expect me to believe that?
Speaker 1: Do you?
Speaker 3: Who wants to believe?
Speaker 1: I tell truit? Oh yeah, but this was a large
island with three thousand people on it. What happened to
the land and to the people?
Speaker 3: I tell two days ago? Worship come here. More of
the yellow skin men come off, both with guns. Leider
say weaneth on the whole world pretty soon where had
Man jep Yes, had Man my father, He say, what
you do here with gun? Jap leader say we come,
do you great honor? We make experiments.
Speaker 2: Here with great new weapons.
Speaker 3: If work, all of you die for emperors, go to
honorable Japanese heavens. Then we kill all Yankee dogs and.
Speaker 2: On the whole world. Why that journey?
Speaker 3: What you mean, my father? He asks us? He say,
we happy people here. We'll not wish to die for
your emperor. Then japp lider say, insolent dogs shoot him.
Then they shoot my father. Many of us try to
stop them. They laugh and kill, shoot, Some hit someone's
head with guns. Many people run away and hide. We
peaceful people, we know, have gun, we know fire back
of what happened. Then Japp leader and six others climb
on old dead volcano. Jap leader so many pieces colored
paper in there. He hollered, blessing on my noble cousin,
son of heaven. But this soon they come down again.
Jeff Leaders said to me and brothers. In one hour,
everyone on these islands died for noble emperor. Then they
all go back to worship. Sail away.
Speaker 2: Surdy jack b Yeah, if you've heard nothing yet, get.
Speaker 3: This well, go ahead. Twenty one hour later, the entire
island and everyone on it was watched out.
Speaker 1: Why the jack ship bombed them? There was a single
shell fire.
Speaker 2: That the tent. Oh, then planes came over and bombed.
Speaker 1: No, not a single plane came over eather And then how.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, wait a minute, I got it that volcano.
Speaker 1: The volcano didn't erupt either as fast as you were
gonna taken. I thought it had been inactive for a century.
But one hour after the jats left, everyone on the
island began to see the trees and flowers leaping out
of the ground. That's yeah, just like Jimmy and I
in the Dragon's Place. An Almost immediately after that, everyone
except sing Song was dead.
Speaker 3: Incredulously, Klark Kent and Jimmy Osen's stare at Tony Sloon
not knowing whether to believe or disbelieve is shocking story.

rest of his amazing experience, which includes more dramatic surprises.
