Speaker 1: Presenting the transcription feature Superman.
Speaker 2: Under the Sky.
Speaker 3: It's a bird, It's a.
Speaker 4: Plain, It's Superman.
Speaker 3: And now Superman.
Speaker 1: When we last saw Clark Kent, he was in the
midst of a baffling mystery, waiting at the hospital to
interview the girl he had saved in the nick of
time from a burning building. He had heard a scream.
Two men pushing as the girl's relatives had visited her room,
stabbed her, and suddenly vanished the day. As our story continues,
some time has passed. The girl's injury proved not to
be serious, and she is now well enough to give
Clark Kent his interview. Though nervous and upset, as her
story approaches its climax, she becomes poor and more excited.
Speaker 3: Listen, mister Kent.
Speaker 2: When I woke up here in the hospital, the first
thing I saw, the very first thing, those two faces
bending over my bed, Badley Pemberton and Joseph to knee.
Speaker 5: They're the ones who tried to kill you. But they're
the head officer of the North Star Mining Company.
Speaker 2: Because they are, don't you understand, mister Kent. I was
their office secretary. About two months ago I found out
what they were doing, mister Kent. They weren't honest. They
were swindlers. They sold people stock in a mine out west,
a mine with no.
Speaker 4: Gold in his go on, miss Anderson, if you're not
too tired.
Speaker 2: I want you to know what happened. I found some
letters and some secret diagrams and maps, and then came
the morning of the fire.
Speaker 4: Yes, go on.
Speaker 2: I got down to the office early that morning and
began going through his desk. I was in his office
all alone. I knew I had at least an hour
before he got in. I stood there opening and shutting drawers,
and all the time I didn't have any idea that
there was somebody watching him from the closet.
Speaker 6: Have you buy any chaps been investigating the activities of
the North Star Mine?
Speaker 3: Miss Anderson? Have you all right?
Speaker 2: Since you've caught me? Yes?
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 2: You've caught me, and I've caught you, you swindlers.
Speaker 3: Joe.
Speaker 6: Now look here, girl, what do you mean by calling
up swindlers? You realize you can go to jail for
that jail?
Speaker 2: You're a fine pair to be talking about jail. That's
where you're going. I've got written proof.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a lie, Miss Anderson, you have no proof.
Speaker 2: No, what about that letter you wrote a month ago
to Barker out West? What about the crooked figures? What
about those records you were looking for just last week?
Speaker 3: Well? What about them?
Speaker 2: I have them, that's all, every single one of them.
Speaker 3: Where are they where?
Speaker 2: You'll never find them, Joseph to me, Never in the world,
not you or anybody else.
Speaker 6: Are you sure of that, Miss Anderson, Mister Deneen, and
I are very clever at finding things.
Speaker 2: You'll never find these papers. I'm the only one in
the world who knows where.
Speaker 6: They are, the only one. Huh, well, how fortunate? All right,
crap it, Joe, she told us all we need to know.
Speaker 2: Get away, don't you day?
Speaker 3: No, I'm going yell, there's nobody here.
Speaker 7: Won't be for another half hour, and by that time,
by that time, Miss Anderson will be gone, gone for good,
and you'll still be here.
Speaker 3: Done.
Speaker 2: I guess I was a fool, all right, mister Kent.
I just didn't stop to think. I shouldn't have told him.
I was the only person who knew.
Speaker 5: Oh, Miss Anderson, those papers? Why were they so anxious
to keep anyone from finding them?
Speaker 2: Mister Kent? I don't know.
Speaker 4: It must be something more than just proof of the swindle.
Miss Anderson? Where did you hide them? What did you
do with those maps and diagrams?
Speaker 2: My brother he's the captain of a freight steamer, the Madison. Yes,
I gave him all the papers in the package and
told him to put them in the ship's safe and.
Speaker 4: That's where they are.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Does your brother know what they are?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I didn't tell him. Oh, mister Kent, I can just
see those two faces bending over me. I can't stand.
Speaker 4: Here, please, Miss Abison, don't look. Here comes the nurse.
Speaker 2: Mister k I just heard from an orderly those men
came in a car, a car?
Speaker 4: What kind of a car?

Speaker 4: Oh six along, Miss Anderson? Where are you going find
that car? Thanks, nurse mister Kended. It's still at the
parking lot. They left it there. Fine, that makes it easier,

Speaker 5: Two four oh six. Well, if that isn't the break
I never heard one. Ah, here's the parking lot and
there's the car down down Now to see what I
can find, maybe an address, records, something to tell where
they are.
Speaker 3: Locked.

then I just take a door off.
Speaker 4: That'll be quickissed once more.

denien stare grimly at the black type to tell so
much and is so silent on the one thing they
want most to know, whether they're ex Secretary June Anderson
has turned the incriminating papers over to the police. Pemberton
decides to visit the Daily Planet office and learn what
he can. This guise to doctor Ambrose, an investor in
the North Star Mining Company. He pays a call on
Clark Kent. Hey, there, Kent, somebody wants to see you,
all right, Who is he?
Speaker 3: Right this way? That's mister Kent, Thank you, thank you
so much. And mister Kent, mister Clark Kent, who wrote

North Star Mining company.
Speaker 5: They say, I'm terribly sorry doctor. Oh, mister Kent, you
don't meet I'm afraid I do. Those fellows, Pemberton and
Deneen were out and out confidence men, swindlers.
Speaker 3: They were why the crooks, the rascalers.
Speaker 4: Sorry about your savings, doctor, mister Kent.
Speaker 6: My loss is not half so serious as the fact
that men like that are still at large.
Speaker 4: Don't worry.
Speaker 1: They won't belong or you'll catch them.
Speaker 4: You have the proof, not yet, but we.
Speaker 3: Will have not yet. I don't understand if you haven't

I'm sorry I didn't see you a business armister Wright.
I just got in. This is doctor Ambrose. He invested
in the North Star mine. Mister White doctor, do you
do yes? I should say I did invest It was
great work on your part, Kent. I just got a
call from the District Attorney's office.
Speaker 4: What did they say?
Speaker 8: They checked the girl's story and its crew. She has
got a brother who's the captain of a tramp steamer,
and she did give them the package of papers just
before he said, bless me, you don't mean it?
Speaker 4: Yes, isn't that something?
Speaker 3: Doctor?
Speaker 4: Where's them steamer heading forms to fight?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: He asked us not to print it.
Speaker 3: Which he's the Madison running south from here to Charleston,
the Medison.
Speaker 4: When will it arrive in Charleston.
Speaker 3: The day after tomorrow?
Speaker 8: And the minutey docks one of the DA's men will
step aboard and pick up the package. I guess that'll
put those coats behind the bars, all right, when they're caught.
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, mister editor, when they are caught.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll not keep undisturbing you, gentlemen, and say no,
I didn't mean to.

Speaker 6: You, no, no, nothing, whatever you told me all there
is to tell well, good day, gentlemen.
Speaker 3: Good day, deal pleasure. Well what do you make of him?
Speaker 7: Ken.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine mister White. He's probably worried stiff over
his money.
Speaker 3: He can't blame him for that. Now, where are you going.
Speaker 5: Back up to the hospital. There's a whole lot more
of that story. I want to talk to that Anderson
girl again. See you later, mister White. And you say you've.
Speaker 4: Heard from your brother.
Speaker 2: I had a wireless message.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 2: The papers are all right, and he'll turn them over
to the police when he docks at Charleston.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 4: Now all we have to do is find Deneen and Pemberton.
Speaker 2: I feel safer one neckros.
Speaker 9: You And an old doctor that called him here a
while ago said he'd invested heavily in the North Star
Mining company.
Speaker 2: Poor a man. What was his name?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: Ambrose? Doctor Ambrose.
Speaker 2: I don't recall any investor by that name.
Speaker 9: And all the time I was talking to mister White
about the Madison, the doctor just stood there biting his
lips and tapping his index finger on the desk, as though,
what what's the matame, miss Anderson?
Speaker 2: What did you say he did? Did his lips and
tapped with his finger.
Speaker 4: Why, yes, what's so odd about that? Nothing?
Speaker 2: Only mister kent this old doctor. Do you remember how
tall he was?
Speaker 4: I'm sure about half a head shorter than I am.
Speaker 2: And did his eyebrows meat in front in a straight line?
Speaker 4: Why yes they did, mister Kent.
Speaker 2: And the finger that he tapped with was there a
scar on the knuckle?
Speaker 4: Did you notice that, miss Anderson? You know him?
Speaker 3: Who was he?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Can't you guess, mister Kidd? It was Bodley Pemmerdin, president
of the North Star Mining Company.
Speaker 4: And now he knows Bradley Pemberton? Whoa miss Anderson? What
if he does?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Don't you see? Don't you understand? He want those papers.
You'll do anything to kid. You'll take a plane or
a fastball. You catch the steam.
Speaker 5: Now we're really getting somewhere. Take up boatfully and catch
the steamer and kill the captain. I think not Peverton,
not this time, and not while Superman is around. Ah,
there's Sandy Hook. You've got a good start, Pepperton. What
you'll need is Pastor. Pastor's that the Madison, that big
hawk up there ahead. I've heard us on up with
her in good shape. Watch over this wave?
Speaker 3: All right? What are you gonna do? Hoister? Stress signals
shoot off the rocket?
Speaker 1: Get that captain to take us aboartment what well, then
we'll see. But whatever happens, we've got to have those papers,
or make sure nobody else does.
Speaker 7: Stand by Joe. Here comes more water, all right, sailor,
let go the rockets. Signal that freighter to heave too,
give her the whistle.
Speaker 3: My eyes.
Speaker 1: What will happen on board the Madison when Pemberton and
Deneen demand the papers from Captain Anderson safe? And when
Superman comes freaking down from the northern sky in hot pursuit.
