I can rent a car? Yes, Kennedy's okay. Please connect me.
Speaker 2: Hiring a car. Clark Kent heads out at once on
the dusty road to Sand Miguel, fifty miles away. Meanwhile,
in the prison itself, a strange John Rest has taken
possession of the men within the walls. All unknowing the
authorities escort Lois Lane on the tour of the prison.
But even as Lois looks down from a window of
the warden's office, two men fall casually into step in
the exercise yard below. One is Keno, the other the dark,
sinister figure we have come to know as the Wolf.
Speaker 7: All right, Keno, just keep on walking, not too fast
and not too slow.
Speaker 2: We can tuck around the corner the steam plant.
Speaker 7: Boyd no, no better, stay out in plain sight. I'll
get this now, Qino. The break is set for today.
What time after supper in the dining hall? It's all
a right, hey, boys, what about the time keep quiet
about the tunnel, Keno, do you want to retard?
Speaker 2: They can hurry in on this all right?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: How far along?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 7: Almost done? And so far no one suspects a thing.
How could they when it's being thrilled from the outside.
That's what it means to have a guy like the
Yellow Mask on your side.
Speaker 6: Quiet, is it?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 2: Keep moving the hair, No hanging around in the corners.
Come on the move.
Speaker 1: You're out here for exercise.
Speaker 7: I knew the man could spring us sooner, and lady
h it's about time.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: He's left us alone far too long. But what do
you care?
Speaker 7: If he gets us out now, my friend, there'll be
a settlement between me and the Mask. I should never
have gone to jail at all.
Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing for us.
Speaker 7: And if you know what's good for you, you take
what comes and don't tangle with him. Don't worry Keino.
If he can use me, I can use him. I'll
let him get us out of here and then we'll
see for what else. Fors they're going to ring the
bell right away from what I say, you know, right
after supper, before we've marched out, they'll get disturbance. I've
attended to that.
Speaker 2: Who's in on it?
Speaker 7: All the men we need, most of them will head
for the gates. I've arranged that too. But you and
I and a few more will rush the steam plants.
Speaker 2: Well what's that for?
Speaker 7: Well, for one thing, it's close.
Speaker 3: To the walls.
Speaker 7: For another, never mind, Now there goes the bell. Hey, horse,
look up to in the window the warden's office. Hey,

if she stays till supper time, she'll have a real story.
Speaker 1: And that's less than an hour ago.
Speaker 2: Less than an hour to go, and all unconscious of
the impending prison break, Lois Lane works up the details
of her story while the warden offers every assistance.
Speaker 8: Anything else, Miss Lane. You've been at it since erely afternoon.

Speaker 6: Whatever you say, Warden, shall we start right along?

Miguel through a forest of towering pine, closer, ever closer,
and presently a curious sound in the distance comes over
the wilderness to his supersensitive ears, the road makes a
sudden turn, and in the twilight he sees men in
uniform barring his way. A police whistle stabs the quiet.

before somebody gets hurt.
Speaker 2: Down, down, down, out of the sky hurdles an amazing
figure in blue costume and red cloak, whilst the high
wall appears out of the tear gas smoke as the
