1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Presenting Superman. 2 00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 2: Up in the sky. 3 00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 3: Look, it's a burden, it's a plain. 4 00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 4: It's Superman, Superman, amazing mysterious figure in blue costume and 5 00:00:15,119 --> 00:00:17,960 red cape who has appeared on Earth as the Champion 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,239 of the Week and the oppressed. We last saw Superman 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,000 streaking through the evening sky toward the laboratory of doctor 8 00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:27,000 Sven Dalgren in an effort to file the plans of 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,719 the Yellow Mask. 10 00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 3: It is some time after four on the stroke of six. 11 00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:34,759 Speaker 4: The Daily Planet, its building, its presses, and its staff 12 00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:38,119 will be blown to fragments unless Superman can solve the 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,000 plot in the short time that remains. As Superman wings 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,920 his way over the dimly glowing city Lois Lane, the 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,520 Daily Planet's girl reporter is already at doctor Dhalgren's laboratory, 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,320 interviewing the scientist on the loss of his newly invented 17 00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:56,960 atomic beam, which the Yellow Mask has stolen. But even 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,880 as the scientist and the girls sit talking, hidden on 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,399 guys are watching them, And I've heard voices passed and 20 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,079 repassed on an unseen secret relay. 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,719 Speaker 3: Listen, Yes, this is a Yellow. 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: Mask, This is Michael, reported from the laboratory. The girl 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,920 has arrived and is talking with the doctor. We are 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,599 ready when the signal covers, close the sliding doors and 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,920 leave the rest to me. Then join us at the airport. 26 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:28,319 Do you understand, Yeah, I understand. It won't be no 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,280 mistake that time. That's good. I have spawned to flow 28 00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:36,920 up the newspaper. As the clock strikes six, yellow mask 29 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:39,079 does not failed. 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: And to my great relief, Miss Lane. After calling to newspaper, 31 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:49,079 I discovered that this demented individual who had stolen my 32 00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:52,079 atomic beam machine had stolen nothing but a box of 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,519 wires and rio stats, utterly useless to him. What do 34 00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:58,280 you mean, Well, the machine cannot operate unless it is 35 00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,359 loaded with atomic cylinders, small steel capsules containing the energy 36 00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,400 necessary to work the beam. I recalled that I had 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,560 placed only two of the cylinders in the machine to 38 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,960 demonstrate it, and both were fired. 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,759 Speaker 1: But you have other cylinders, haven't you? 40 00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:14,879 Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, but they're well protected. Look in there? 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,039 Speaker 1: What you see why seems to be a sort of 42 00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:19,879 inner room. 43 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,199 Speaker 3: And what is at the extreme end, let me look 44 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,680 you why. 45 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: It's a safe, a huge safe built into the wall. 46 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 3: And in that safe are a dozen atomic cylinders and 47 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,240 a duplicate of the stolen machine. 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,439 Speaker 1: You had two machines. 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: Oh, yes, a new one and an old one. That 50 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,719 madman stole the new one. But never mind, keep looking, 51 00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:41,759 miss Lane. What do you see now? 52 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,719 Speaker 1: Why? Why? There are two doors rolling right out of 53 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:47,120 the wall. 54 00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, massive steel doors, miss Lane, which cut off 55 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:56,120 every part of the laboratory. The pair that you are 56 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,439 looking at cut off the strong room. Now they roll 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:06,960 back again. What made them open? Ah, I did something 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:07,879 you didn't see. 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: What? 60 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: Eh good, that's part of the secret. 61 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,599 Speaker 1: That'sordhlgren. This will certainly make a story. Now tell me 62 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,319 about the machine, the atomic beam. Why do you think 63 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:16,919 it was stolen? 64 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: Miss Lane? If I were a man gone mad with 65 00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,599 lust for power, determined to dominate the entire world, I 66 00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:27,159 could ask for no greater weapon than the Dhlgren atomic Beam. 67 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: Good heavens, do you really mean that I do? 68 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,199 Speaker 3: That is why my secret will never be published unless 69 00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,840 I am assured the atomic beam can be used to 70 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400 benefit humanity and not destroy it. 71 00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: Can you tell me how the machine works, doctor Darkin? 72 00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:44,319 Speaker 3: Why? Yes, the Dhlgren atomic beams Lane is based on 73 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,120 the almost limitless power of atomic energy. 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 5: In the first place, what't be getting there now? Concerted 75 00:03:55,879 --> 00:03:59,080 part of town. All right, I think I see a car. 76 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: That's it Lewis's car parked at the curb. 77 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,319 Speaker 5: I'll drop down on the roof, slip downstairs and at 78 00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:06,159 her Dolgren's house. 79 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: Is Clark Kent's reported? Down? 80 00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:16,879 Speaker 5: Down now? Then down below? Wait a minute? What's that 81 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,800 coming through the wall. Nobody else could hear it, but 82 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,000 I can. It's a voice, a voice traveling on a 83 00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:25,800 radio relay. 84 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: Yes, this is the Yellow Mask. What now? 85 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: This is Michael's reported from the laboratory. 86 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: Okay, we are almost ready. Remember when I give the 87 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:39,120 signal close the doors, no more. 88 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 3: Down the yellow Mask somewhere near here? And Michael? Who's Michael? 89 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,120 And if I have any luck, I may find out 90 00:04:48,120 --> 00:05:00,160 from Dahlgren. Yes, doctor Dahlgren, I'm Clark Kent of the 91 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,360 Daily Planet. Oh yes, he has come in. Mister Kent. 92 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:04,480 My man must be busy. 93 00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: Thanks. 94 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,639 Speaker 3: You were talking to mister White, my editor, and something 95 00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,839 happened to the line. We were cut off. So I 96 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 came right down to find out what you wanted to say. 97 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,639 It may be important, I mus Laine. 98 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: Well, mister Starr report, couldn't you find anything to do 99 00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:19,399 but comin hornin. 100 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: On my story. I see your old friend. Sorry, Miss Laine, 101 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,839 this came up just after you left, Doctor Dhargren. The 102 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Daily Planet has received a very dangerous threat from an 103 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,439 unknown source. A threat, mister Kent. 104 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,199 Speaker 1: What kind of a threat an escaped lunatic doctor, someone 105 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,240 who threatens to blow up the entire works at six 106 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,920 o'clock to night. 107 00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 3: Doctor, the man who broke in here and made off 108 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,720 with your invention. You told my editor he said something 109 00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,319 about destroying a newspaper. You remember what it was. I 110 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,560 remember quite well, mister Kent. He had picked up the machine, 111 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:52,319 my new model of the atomic beam, and as he 112 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,399 held me under his gun, he said, first I shall 113 00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:59,519 destroy the building which houses one of your great newspapers. 114 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: Doctor Dog Did he mean the planet? 115 00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:03,519 Speaker 3: Well, my dear miss Lane, I haven't any idea tell 116 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,720 me doctor. Could he make good that threat against the newspaper? 117 00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:11,759 Mister Kent, he could make good that threat against the world, 118 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,360 and we have one hour or less to run him down. Well, 119 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,759 I wouldn't worry, mister Kent, not worry. Fortunately, as I 120 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,199 have already explained to Miss Lane, and as I tried 121 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,639 to tell your editor before we were cut off, the 122 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920 model which was stolen, will not work. 123 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: Doctor Dahlgren. 124 00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: What do you mean just this by a lucky chance 125 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,319 the stolen machine was not loaded with the cylinders necessary 126 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,240 to make it work. Well, then then you mean the 127 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,079 newspaper's safe. It won't be blown up, not by the 128 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,600 Dolgren atomic beam. Oh wait, I will point out what 129 00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,759 I mean just a second, doctor Dlgren. I'd like to 130 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,759 ask you a question, certainly, mister Kent, is your name 131 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,240 Michael or is there any one in this house whose 132 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360 name is Michael? Why? Yes? Why do you ask that? 133 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: Don't you like the name Michael, mister Kent? 134 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,519 Speaker 3: Who is a doctor? Michael? Is the name of my servant? Why, 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:06:59,920 mister King? 136 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Nothing? 137 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: I merely wondered er you were going to show us 138 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,040 your invention, doctor Dargren. Oh, yes, yes, to be sure, 139 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,240 If you'll excuse me for a moment. No, no, no, 140 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,199 stay right where you are. I'll get it out of 141 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:11,759 the safe and. 142 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Bring it here. Well, are you are worried about being 143 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,879 blown sky high? Quite late to rest, mister Kent. You 144 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,120 thought the paper would be blown up tonight, didn't you? 145 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,839 You know I did, And yet you take the first 146 00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:23,279 chance you get to run out like a rat and 147 00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:25,000 leave the rest of them. They had to face whatever happens. 148 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: Oh, now look here, mister White sent me out on 149 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:27,759 this assignment. 150 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: Ah Ben, he didn't have to urge you much. 151 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: I shan't think that about me. Lois? Please? I can 152 00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:34,240 stand freshness and amazing luck and even boasting, but not 153 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:34,759 coward this. 154 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: Mister Kent, what are you doing? 155 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: I'm telephoning the office? 156 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: Hello, operator. 157 00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: Operator? 158 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: Have you forgotten the phones out of order? 159 00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:53,279 Speaker 3: I thought they might have fixed it. They haven't. Well, 160 00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:57,480 that wire, it goes through a content into the next room, 161 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,279 and it's slack loose. It comes a way in my hand. 162 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:06,199 Look what lois? That wire was cut cut off clean 163 00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:09,519 by someone in this house while doctor Dogren was talking 164 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:12,839 to mister White, by someone who didn't want Dogren to 165 00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:13,800 reveal any information. 166 00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: Well, don't stand there like that. What do you think 167 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,600 it means? 168 00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:20,399 Speaker 3: It means the thief. No, that model won't work. He's 169 00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,199 found it out. Oh where is doctor Doggren? What's taking 170 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:24,800 him so long? 171 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Can't the doors the doors? Foot doors?
