Speaker 1: Presenting the transcription feature Superman.
Speaker 2: Up in the sky.
Speaker 3: Look, it's a bird, it's a flame. It's Superman.
Speaker 4: When we last saw him, Superman had just rescued Captain
Anderson from the steamer Madison and had found the hidden
papers in the ship safe, just as the burning vessel
exploded in a sheet of flame and the rain of
falling shells. The day, our story continues back in the
offices of Perry White, city editor of the newspaper on
which Superman works as Clark Can. Captain Anderson has come
up from the South after seeing his crew landed safely,
and his sister, who is now out of the hospital,
has joined him and Kent and editor White for a
discussion of further plans.
Speaker 2: Captain Anderson is talking. Listen, No, sir, I can't tell
you a thing about it. The last thing I remember
is beating against the hoe with that fire getting closer
and closer, just beyond the door.
Speaker 3: But Captain, how did you escape? A boat group picked
you up out of the water with a life preserver on?
Speaker 2: Yes, Maams, how do you explain that?
Speaker 4: I don't explain it, June, I tell you, I don't
understand it at all.
Speaker 2: What do you think, mister Kent.
Speaker 5: Well, really, Captain Anderson, I maybe you were blown out
of the ship by the explosion.
Speaker 2: My men say the explosion came.
Speaker 3: After Well, it's just one of those mysteries of the sea.
Speaker 6: Let it go with that.
Speaker 3: Oh what do you got there?
Speaker 2: Ken?
Speaker 5: Why it's a package A friend of mine in the
coast Guard sent me. Take a look, Miss Anderson.
Speaker 3: Why mister Kennedy's mine?
Speaker 2: Why that's it? That's the one June gave me.
Speaker 3: What you mean to tell me? That's the package of
papers that was in the ship safe?
Speaker 2: It certainly is, mister Kent. Where did you get it?
Speaker 5: I told you a friend of mine and the coast
Guard found it floating in the water.
Speaker 2: Well that shows you what a high explosive will do.
Here's a package locked away in a safe bank, comes
the explosion. It's found floating around.
Speaker 5: Like a like a dead fish.
Speaker 7: Yes, well, never mind how it got there.
Speaker 3: The main thing is we haven't, miss Anderson, what's in it?
Speaker 2: I'll show you, Miss White.
Speaker 8: First of all, let us from Pemberton to a man
named Bailey. They're represented about west practically admitting what they're doing.
Speaker 3: Let me see it.
Speaker 2: What else?
Speaker 8: Well, then, here's what they said, was a map of
the North star Mine three miles southeast of Canyon City?
Speaker 3: Or what else done?
Speaker 2: Why was all this business? Who? All fire? And important?
Speaker 3: This letter of loons enough to put them behind the bars.
Speaker 8: And here's the rest of it, a report from the
Government Essay Office saying that the oar from the North
star mine is absolutely worthless?
Speaker 3: What do you think? And they went on spelling stock
after that.
Speaker 8: Yes, that's when I realized they were crooked.
Speaker 3: Well, Kent, what about it? Any ideas?
Speaker 2: Where did they live?
Speaker 3: June?
Speaker 8: They had a house out in Green Park with a
Filipino house boy, number twenty three Durant's Street.
Speaker 3: Mister Kent, where are you going?
Speaker 5: I don't like the idea of sitting and waiting for
things to happen. There may be something out of their
house the police haven't found.
Speaker 3: Who do you think you are? Ken Charlock Holmes Hell?
You never can tell, mister White, do you mind?
Speaker 6: No, No, of course not. I'm running an information bureau here,
not a newspaper.
Speaker 3: Don't bother about me. I'll just have a quickly around
twenty three Durant Street.
Speaker 2: I'll stay here with Juli and check over this paper.
Speaker 1: Good luck, mister Kent.
Speaker 3: Thanks miss Anderson, I may need it. Go ahead, can't
go ahead, Take all the time you want.
Speaker 7: But if you do happen to run into a story,
just try and remember who you're working for.
Speaker 5: With you, I will belongs to White and if I
don't find anything, I'll be right back along.
Speaker 9: Doesn't sound like much, but it pays to look around.
I'll just drop down into Green Park and have a
chat with that Filipino house boy. You may know more
than he's told the police. Here we are and there's
Durant Street with not a.
Speaker 1: Soul in sight.
Speaker 9: I'll just change back to Clark Kent reporter and see
who answers the door down down, Well.
Speaker 3: Let's deserve it, all right. I'll try the bell. Hope
somebody answers it.
Speaker 5: I'd hate to spoil this place by kicking in the door,
and I do want to look around inside.
Speaker 1: What do you want?
Speaker 2: Please see you?
Speaker 3: You surprised me? Can I come in? No?
Speaker 5: No, look, I'm from a newspaper, Daily Planet. Now a
wait a minute.
Speaker 3: Listen. How long since you've heard from your boss, mister Pemberton?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Well, he evidently means no, too bad.
Speaker 2: Boy.
Speaker 3: If you don't want Clark kent aro on.
Speaker 9: Let's see how you feel about Superman might attract attention
if I ruined the door, I'll just jump up on
the roof and try the skylight.
Speaker 3: Here goes.
Speaker 9: And there's the skylight, or rather there was the skylight.
Now down the stairs and see what's what? And that
house boy sees me. He's certainly going to be surprised.
This looks like somebody's room right here. And there's a
desk if the police have left anything?
Speaker 2: Hey, what to do there? You get in?
Speaker 3: Don't know me in my other clothes, you'll get out,
get out quick? Hey, put that gun down, you'll no go?
Speaker 2: I shoot?
Speaker 1: I count three, make it ten, make it a hundred.
Speaker 2: One two three?
Speaker 3: What's the matter?
Speaker 9: Come closer and try again. Come a lot closer, and
you'll see how bullets bounce pride. That's enough, I have
any time to waste.
Speaker 1: Here's what happens to little Filipino boys who play with guns.
Speaker 8: Let go, you, let go?
Speaker 3: Where are your bosses? Pemberton and Denean?
Speaker 2: Quick?
Speaker 3: Where are they?
Speaker 8: I know?
Speaker 1: I know, don't tell me that. I can see it
on your faces. Player's day? Where are they? One more chance?
Speaker 5: Telephone.
Speaker 3: Who's calling this house on the telephone?
Speaker 2: Answer it?
Speaker 9: No, I said, answer it, and if it's either of
your bosses, just act natural.
Speaker 3: Please no, go to phone they say, go on, what
do they say?
Speaker 1: They say?
Speaker 8: They kill me?
Speaker 5: Not over the phone.
Speaker 3: Get that receiver and do just as I tell you.
Go on, Oh please, yeah, there's me.
Speaker 10: Boss, Just as I tell you, and do it first.
Speaker 2: Okay, Boss, look in the desk in.
Speaker 10: My room and back up the second drawer. You'll find
another drawer. Get it back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 10: I'm in that drawer an envelope with travelers checks. Get
it and put it in the mail.
Speaker 1: Ask you where he is quick, boss, we'll mail do.
Speaker 10: Please address it to John Jackie Jones General Delivery, Canyon City, Idaho.
Speaker 2: Is that that? Yeah? The doll please?
Speaker 10: That's all anybody been at the house? I know no, Boss, Okay,
if anybody comes and ask for me, say you don't
know a thing so wrong?
Speaker 9: Mm traveling under the name of Jones is he? And
he'll touch at Canyon City, Idaho. Much obliged to see that.
Speaker 2: Who you heard?
Speaker 3: Never mind? But get this. You saw how those bullets
bounced off my chest?
Speaker 9: Here I see I'm going now, But if you breathe
a word about my coming here today, I'll be back.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I know.
Speaker 9: Tell that's good because if you do, if you ever
tell anybody, I'll come back here and bounce you off
the sidewalk the way those bullets bounced off me. All right,
only be sure you remember it now. I'm leaving you
up through that skylight the way I came in. So
long Sata What luck Canyon City, Idaho? I bet I
scared that houseboy out of a year's growth. Now back
to the paper you asked me. The North Star mining
story is getting hotter every minute.
Speaker 4: Heading back toward town, Superman streaks through the sky and
presently in the office of editor White.
Speaker 6: Well can't This is the luckiest break I ever heard
of Canyon City, eh mister White.
Speaker 5: According to the map miss Egerson showed us, Canyon City
is near the North Star mine.
Speaker 3: What you mean they're heading out there to the mine? Why?
Speaker 5: Chief, I don't know for sure, but I can guess
they don't know about the papers being found.
Speaker 3: What's that got to do with it?
Speaker 5: Well, maybe they figure if they can get out there
and ruin the mine, you know, wreck it for keeps
nobody'll ever be able to prove it wasn't.
Speaker 7: All right, Kent, I'll take a chance. You are free
to go away, you like, hire a plane, get out there.
I want you on the spot. When those fellows are caught,
I'll notify the.
Speaker 3: Local police, mister White, don't do that? Why not? Well,
they're probably traveling by car.
Speaker 5: If we leave now by plane, the Andersons and I
we'll get there first.
Speaker 2: What of it?
Speaker 3: But don't warn the police. Do you want every paper
in the country to get that story?
Speaker 7: But but what if you run into them out there,
you and the girl and Anderson?
Speaker 3: And if we do, I can handle it all right,
you alone. Who do you think you are? Superman? Chee gosh, no, Chief,
I mean we'll.
Speaker 6: We'll be all right, okay, Kent, Okay, get your money
and get going, and good luck.
Speaker 3: And phone if anything happened.
Speaker 5: Almost gave myself away that time too. I think I'm superman. Well,
as a matter of fact, mister White, I.
Speaker 4: Do down to the airport into a fast plane with
Captain Anderson and his sister June, over the Alleghenies, over
the great basin of the Mississippi West and still west
to the cold high stillness of the Rockies, when suddenly,
unseen disaster comes creeping along the wings, invisible to the
passengers in the plane's cabin.
Speaker 1: Where are we now, mister Kent, have.
Speaker 3: You any idea your brothers? The navigator?
Speaker 9: Miss Anderson, don't ask a sailor to find his way
round up in the air side as black as ink outside.
Speaker 2: I can't see the stars.
Speaker 8: Oh, we went through a snowstorm a while ago.
Speaker 2: Still in it.
Speaker 5: You want me to make a guess, Miss Anderson, I'd
say we're pretty close to adahole.
Speaker 2: Getting tired, June.
Speaker 8: Oh no, but I'm anxious to see what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: So am I say?
Speaker 2: What's wrong?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 6: Oh, what a awful lurch?
Speaker 2: Me right against the wall, butt it with tipping.
Speaker 3: Something is wrong it is they can't go as the pilot.
I'm frightened.
Speaker 2: Look he's open the store, all right, folks taking easy?
Speaker 3: What's wrong?
Speaker 2: Ice? Ice on the wings and one of the ale
rons of stuff.
Speaker 3: I can't work it, loose, frozen.
Speaker 1: How can you fix it? I can't.
Speaker 4: Ordinarily I go down the warmer air, but the mountain
peaks are too high around here.
Speaker 3: We're going side wiskins facets. Hey, how about this.
Speaker 2: We're slipping down, pilot.
Speaker 1: What do you say?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We're in a tough spot.
Speaker 1: Where are you going out on the wing?
Speaker 3: Not to clean that ice off? What's what you're doing?
Speaker 2: Can't say that boy's cut nerved, sat on the wings.
You can't just see it, can't, can't. Where is he?
Speaker 3: He was a way the car.
Speaker 5: He's done, He's done.
Speaker 4: I over the wildest and cruelest peaks of the Continental Divide,
while snow whirls about the wings and ice holds the
plane in its deadly grip.
Speaker 2: And what of Clark Kent? What has happened?
Speaker 4: Did he lose his grip when the wings snapped and
go plunging downward through the dark. Tune in with us
next time and follow the exciting transcription.
Speaker 2: Superman up the sky.
Speaker 5: Look, it's a bird, it's a plane, It's Superman.
