Speaker 1: That's set on. It's feeding bullets, more powerful than a locomotive,
able to leave Paul buildings at a single bounds. Up
on the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. That's Superman.
Invent yourself Superman. When the planet Krypton, home of a
race of supermanic polling into dust, the whole survivor was
an instant boy who had been up to Earth in
a sealed rocket. Today had boy grown to man food.
It is known as Superman Foreign enemy of the forces
of Evil. To wade him and his never ending fight
for truth and justice, he masquerades as Park Kent, crime
reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. His secret is carefully guarded.
No one is aware that Kent is Superman. No one's
but you going with us now on ABC as Superman's
faces and gravest of his entire career, the possible exposure
of his double identity, and an exciting transcribed adventure entitled
That Man Tell No Tale, the horrible realization that one
day someone will discover that Clark can't mild mannered, bespectacled
crime reporter is in reality Superman has hung over Superman's
head like the sword of damocles, for he realizes that
once his duel role is exposed, he will no longer
be able to work in secrecy, and now that day
has come. Returning to his apartment late one night after
covering a routine hold up story at police headquarters, Bart
can't discover that a secret closet in his bedroom had
been broken into, and the sparest Superman costume he kept
hidden there had been stolen. For a moment, he was dazed,
Then the full import of what had happened struck him
like a savage blow. Whoever had stolen the costume, unless
he was stupid beyond the belief, was now aware that
Clark Kent was Superman. For almost an hour, can't taste
the floor, unable to think there were six million people
in Metropolis and the sneak thief might be any one
of them. Finally, in desperation, he called in his friends,
the private detective Candy Myers. All right now, Clack, relax, relax,
not the end of the world, you know that might
be for me?
Speaker 2: A stop it.
Speaker 1: No matter what the guy stole, it can't be.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 1: I let sabbath. From the beginning, I told you I
got back from headquarters. At eleven o'clock. I walked into
the bedroom and found the door of the closet opened.
Speaker 3: Okay, what was mess?
Speaker 1: Well that's not important, Candy the important.
Speaker 4: It's not important.
Speaker 1: I gotta know what the guy left it. Don I
assume he didn't take anything? So I left fat still
broke into my apartment.
Speaker 3: Look, you're not.
Speaker 1: Pulling any wool over Candy Meyer's eyes. In the first place,
it's a secret closet. In the second place, nobody has
a secret closet and leaves it empty. The third place,
if the guy knew how to get it open without
jimming the door, he must have had a pretty good
idea of what was in it. No, No, he couldn't
have known what was in it.
Speaker 3: So there was something in it?
Speaker 1: Yes, well, well what JIV give? What are they hides now? Candy,
believe me, it doesn't matter. All I want to do
is get the seat.
Speaker 3: Is that all?
Speaker 1: Well? You know what I mean. I don't know what
you mean, but I sure know what you need. You
neither swam me with a crystal ball, not a de
Tectic or Candy. Please you look pal, you know as
well as guy do. Whatever the guy took he's going
to try and sell a hawk. The only way to
put the finger on him is to check every fence
and hot shop in the study. We can't do that
unless we know what we're looking for, can we? But
he won't try to sell our hawk. This candy, it
has no value.
Speaker 3: And what are you are hot and bothered about?
Speaker 1: Well, it has value to me, in fact, it it's
every brother, Candy, just do one thing for me. Well,
you just check the closet door for thinker print. Have
you got your dustin kid with you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I can please, Candy, Okay, but you sure like that
those things are hard way that's the only way in
this case. I wish I could tell you more, Candy, honestly,
I do mean more.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 3: You haven't told me anything just for fun, No, clerk.
If the guy didn't know what was in the closet.
Speaker 1: I mean, if he wasn't half how did he get.
Speaker 3: It open accidentally?
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's on an electric spring and its unlocked
when you pull out the top drawer of my desk. Well,
you sure went through a lot of trouble. I hide
something that doesn't have any value. Well, it's wait a minute,
if what guy took has no value. Why did he
take it? I don't know, can't you're lying in your teeth.
Speaker 3: There's no skin off my back.
Speaker 1: The prints on the door. I'll get him after that.
Tal you're on your own. Hello, Yes, this is Kenny.
Oh yes, my lord. Oh wait a minute, let me

with closet.
Speaker 3: You're not on a lone. Kenny's tap past one.
Speaker 1: You'll handle this thing anyway you want, Candy, I need
your help. I can't call the police in on this.

Speaker 3: Just like that.
Speaker 1: Well, you can do it if you want to.

Dead Men Tell No Tales. But Bert, here is your ABC.
Speaker 3: You now.
Speaker 4: It doesn't take much remembering to remember the forty two
thousand victims in last year's record breaking polio epidemic. That's right,
the number of victims was forty two thousand of whom
sixty percent were children under ten years old. Thousands of
those stricken youngsters are still thick, still under treatment, still
in need of help. The help you can lend by
giving to the March of Dimes. The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, cares for every one who needs it, carries
out research, stands as the greatest, single effective block against
this dread disease. It needs your help, needs it more
desperately than ever before. This is your responsibility, a responsibility
best met by giving your dimes and your dollar given
the name of your child. Give so that more children
can return to their roles as young, happy citizens. Give
and give again to combat polio. Keep those dimes and
dollars rolling to your local March of Dimes headquarters, and.

blind crap, unaware that Morella is trying to determine whether
or not he is Superman, and the Myers faces the
steel black muzzle of a gangster's gun. An almost certain there. Meanwhile,
in his apartment, Lark Kent glances at his watch for
the tenth time.
Speaker 3: Five minutes to four.
Speaker 1: She calls the least for three, and she said twenty
minutes almost an hour. I'm not gonna wait any longer.
Speaker 3: Twenty five Carston Street. I'll pay her a visit.
Speaker 1: As Superman, removing his horn, rims, glasses, and stripping off
his business up the skies, Lark can't emerges in the
brilliant red and blue costume of Superman raising a window.
The only human being on earth who numbers among his
amazing powers the power of light, leaps out into the darkness,
hovering for a time moment in mid air. He gets
his bearings, and then like an arrow shot from a bowl,
feeds across the city and drops down on the sidewalk
in front of a stuccle house of forty five parts.
One glance and his X ray vision shows him the
scene inside the house. Great Scott tensing every muscle of
his powerful body, Superman crashes through one of the black
drawn windows and like a human projectile strike, Candy Myers
droops him on contact, almost at againstant the gun in
Nick Moreley's hands blasts outa it do that, gun Hurst,
I gotta make sure.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: All right, drop, that's better we talk things.

Steeping into the still darkened sky, Superman hovers in curious
flight above the mountain top, watching the tiny figures of
the gangster and his girl, then Jess. As he is
about to turn in mid air and head four Metropolis,
he notices with horror that hand in hand they are
attempting to make their way down a.
Speaker 3: Steep slope the stupid pool.
Speaker 1: Arching his powerful body, Superman prepares to swoop down after them,
but he is too late. Loose sand and gravel rolls
under their feet, and losing their balance, they pitch forward headlong.
Their body is striking a ledge and bouncing off like
taw dust stummies falling to the valley four thousand feet below. Hello, Hello,
