Speaker 1: Presenting the transcription feature Superman up at the sky hook.
Speaker 2: It's a bird, it's a quaint It's.
Speaker 3: Superman, now Superman. Superman had left the blazing and fernoff
Stone House and gone winging his way back over the
sound toward the rect auto gyro of the Indian priests
who had recovered the Emerald of the Incas from doctor
George Haven Peacham, world famous scientist and explorer, and set
fire to his temporary home, remaining on the grounds of
Stonehouse to watch the blaze and summon help. Doctor Beecham
and as door Elsie had both made startling and important discoveries.
As our story continues to day, we find them in
a small car racing ord a distant airport, hoping against
hope to get there in time.
Speaker 4: Listen, which out here's a curse, Elsie. You almost hit
that car dead.
Speaker 5: It's all right. Look here that thing you picked up
on the lawn. You hardly tell me about it at all. Providential,
simply providential. If we can only find those native priests,
So what do you do. I'll show them what I've found.
Speaker 6: The sacred Amulet of the Head Priest, almost as sacred
as the Emerald itself, he see, not quite but almost.
Speaker 7: And you really think you can bargain with it?
Speaker 6: Only if I can get there, Only if we can
make the airport before they can take off in their plane.
Speaker 7: Dad, what will you do?
Speaker 4: I'll return the amulet and borrow the emerald. That's all
I want of it. I don't mean to keep it.
Speaker 7: I never intended that, Dad, this emerald? Is it really
as important as all that?
Speaker 6: Yes, Elsie, I've told you once, and I'll tell you again.
If I can recover the Emerald of the Inkers and
decipher the writing carved on its base, I may have
found the secret of life itself, possibly the secret of
life everlasting.
Speaker 4: Or hurry, dear, faster.
Speaker 2: If you can.
Speaker 7: I'm doing my best, Dad.
Speaker 6: We must get there in time to head them off,
I tell you we must. I wonder if that reporter
cat has found the Autogyro.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, I over the water of the sound, Superman wings
and wheels, his marvelous telescopic eyesight, piercing the blackness below
for some sign of the wrecked auto Gyrol.
Speaker 8: I could have sworn this was the place just off
that point with a white building. But what's that hard
down below the surface? Looks like wreckage underwater. The plane
was sunk deliberately.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 8: The next thing to do is pay a call at
the nearest station of the coast Guard. That white house
looks like the place. There's the signal light down. We
go in the front yard. Seems ashamed to wake them
out of a sound sleep. The chances how they keep
somebody on duty all night anyway, and for the moment
I'll have to become kent Superman might amaze.
Speaker 9: But the coast Guard, all right, all right, that's a
big run.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry to disturb you, but why well, what
is it? I'm looking for some friends of mine who
set out this afternoon in an auto gyro.
Speaker 9: Ah, they're not a jarro. Hey, yes you know them
fellas well. We're acquainted, we've met. Well, they ain't here,
but they've been picked up all right. Oh, seems they
had trouble and came down on the water for a
mile at Indians, wasn't they well?
Speaker 4: Yes, more or less?
Speaker 9: Well, if they ain't, they sure got a swell ten. Anyhow,
we brought them in and.
Speaker 1: They beat it.
Speaker 4: Can you tell me where they've gone?
Speaker 9: Central Airport? They said, We couldn't understand half their lingo.
They don't speak ignally.
Speaker 4: So Hot Central Airport. You mean they charted another plane.
Speaker 9: I mean they're leaving for parts unknown.
Speaker 1: They told me the time.
Speaker 9: It's just about five minutes from now. Five minutes so
unless you're figuring on getting to that airport by radio
or flying there yourself, you're out of luck. It's thirty
miles Oh.
Speaker 4: Thanks, sorry to have bothered you.
Speaker 9: Okay, it's too bad you missed your friends. But maybe
they won't take off. The baramter has fallen. Looks like
dirty weather coming up. Good night the night.
Speaker 8: So you think I've missed them, sir? Eh, Well live
and learn. Five minutes before they take off?
Speaker 4: Huh? And the airport is thirty miles away. Well you'll
never know what you can do until you try.
Speaker 2: Here goes up up, dad, Look there it is.
Speaker 7: There's the airport. Oh, and there's the gate.
Speaker 4: Elsie, what are you doing? You'll put us in the ditch.
Speaker 10: Sorry, can't help it, dad, I had to make that turn,
would have gone right by, I hadn't.
Speaker 4: Look what's that out there out there on the runway.
Speaker 7: That is the runway. It's a seaplane acreage. Oh oh,
there is a flash of light.
Speaker 4: It's a plane. It's going up.
Speaker 11: I saw it in the flash. You'll see Stop stop,
help help stop that plane.
Speaker 10: Stop it, Dad, come back, it's too late, they're moving.
Speaker 2: Oh the thing, Dad, Stop?
Speaker 6: That must be the plane. Nobody else would be taking off?
And whether this, why doesn't somebody come stop? Then catch them?
Somebody stop.
Speaker 3: High over the airport, a great white seatplane rocks and
slips in the sudden grip of the storm. Lightning STAPs
wickedly through low cloud shows figures running wildly for shelter.
Speaker 4: On the field below chows.
Speaker 3: Another figure faster than the storm itself, racing down the wind.
Superman come just in time to meet a seaplane heading
south with the Indian priests of bazat Land. Ah.
Speaker 8: There she is. Must be private seaplane swinging toward the
open water. And what fools to take off at a
time like this, right, Scott. The lightning shows it up
like daytime, not that I needed. Sorry, gentlemen, you've got
a fast chip there, but it's not quite as fast
as Superman. I think we'll just put a sudden stop
to that trip south. I brought down an autogiro. Shouldn't
want to I can do the same with the seaplane.
Here I come. Ah, then if I dive into the cabin,
what the great Heaven's lightning hold of lightning struck the
plane and smashed the pieces on fire.
Speaker 4: The mat are pulling it into the water. If I
don't catch them, they'll be drowned. Gotta get there, fast,
down down into the sea, faster, faster.
Speaker 6: What happened, Elsie?
Speaker 4: I couldn't see, Oh, Dad, I don't know the lightning.
Speaker 6: Could you make it out?
Speaker 10: I said, no, Dad, I'm not sure it keeps him
for the gold of lightning went right through the plane,
and then I didn't see anything at all. Here's stay
under the shelter, dead, good heavens, here comes mister Kent. Kent?
Speaker 4: What Kent?
Speaker 1: What did you hear me? Doctor?
Speaker 7: Or?
Speaker 1: Rather?
Speaker 4: Good morning?
Speaker 1: You got room in here for three more?
Speaker 4: Why those men with you? The brown men Kent? The priests? Oh, yes,
strangest thing.
Speaker 12: I was on my way here, following the auto gyro
when there was a flash of lightning and a seaplane
went down on the sea, just off the breakwater, and
you rescue them off. But one doctor, pilot was done
for the lightning boat went right through him.
Speaker 1: But these two. Well call it luck.
Speaker 4: Why ken't it's amazing, simply unbelievable. Well, here we are.
There's one thing I must tell you, doctor. I had
a choice, A choice, yes, come over here a minute,
a little. Well, that's better, Yes, a choice.
Speaker 12: I could have saved the baggage with whatever might have
been in it. You understand, doctor, Yes, I understand the emerald, yes,
or the two priests. But I couldn't save both. It
had to be one or the other. Mister Kent, we
understand human life, Miss Beecham. They've done a lot to you,
poisoned arrows fire. But after all, well there was something
on their side too, and I couldn't just sit there
and let them drown.
Speaker 4: Oh can't, of course not.
Speaker 7: You did exactly right.
Speaker 12: I hoped you'd think that it's too bad about the emerald,
of course, not telling where it is now.
Speaker 4: The Emerald, the Incas is gone forever.
Speaker 7: Mister Kent. The priest, he's coming this way.
Speaker 1: White men, you save our lives we have as a land.
We thank you.
Speaker 4: Don't mention it.
Speaker 13: You have great magic, white man magic, better than ours.
I have seen you fly through air.
Speaker 4: That's enough of that. Haven't mind the rest that's just
one thing we wanted.
Speaker 13: We know what you want, the sacred Emerald. But it
is at the bottom of the great water.
Speaker 4: Then it's all over. And if that's the case, there's
no use my keeping this any longer. What's that, doctor,
white Man?
Speaker 1: Will you find that on the.
Speaker 4: Lawn outside my house? It's an ambulator? Priests Samulat of
the Aztland Indians. Could it by any chance.
Speaker 7: For yours white Man?
Speaker 1: Give it to me?
Speaker 4: Of course, take it.
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, seems to mean everything to him.
Speaker 1: Man, you think you have lost, but you have not.
Speaker 4: What what does he mean?
Speaker 1: My magic? Tell me you do not want emerald to see?
Speaker 4: No, no, of course not.
Speaker 1: On the emerald was writing. It was writing you wish
to read.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's it. That's all I wanted for, Believe me
very well.
Speaker 1: Writing is here there?
Speaker 7: What does he mean? Who's tapping his head?
Speaker 4: You mean to say, you'll tell me everything that was
on the emerald. You can remember it.
Speaker 13: We will do that, every last sign on the Jewel
of the Immortals.
Speaker 1: But no one know what it means.
Speaker 6: That's all right, my studies, that's what I want to do.
Work it out. It may take me years, but Kent.
Do you hear what he says?
Speaker 7: Stead, I can't believe it. Maybe the secret isn't lost
after all.
Speaker 1: Once my people know what writing on emerald mean. Now
they do not know. If you help them, remember, maybe
you do great good duel, can't.
Speaker 4: I still don't believe it. It's not possible. I can't
where your going, mister can look. The Emerald's gone, but
everything else is all right, And I've just remembered something.
After all, I have a newspaper, man.
Speaker 12: This may be the biggest story since the flood the
long folks, I'm on my way.
Speaker 3: And so even though the sacred Emerald of the Incas
is lost to humanity forever, the secret engraved on it
may yet be revealed.
Speaker 1: Undoubtedly we will learn.

the meantime, Clark Kent is returning to his newspaper, The
