Speaker 1: Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive,
able to lease tall buildings.
Speaker 2: At a single bountin up on the skide. It's a bird,
it's a plane.
Speaker 1: That's Superman.
Speaker 2: Invent yourself Superman.
Speaker 3: When the planet Krypton, home of a race of supermanic
pulsing in the dust, whole survivor was an instant boy
who had been shot to Earth and a sealed rock. Today,
that boy grown to manhood, known as Superman, born enemy
of the forces of evils wide 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 but you.
Speaker 2: Going with us now on ABC as Superman finds help
fitted against an unseen minute and an exciting transcribed mystery
adventure entitled The Ghost of Billy Baker.
Speaker 3: There is nothing quite so dark and silence in the
bowels of the earth, and the pitch blackness in the
complete and utter silence. A whisper becomes an echoing shout,
and the faint beating of a human hearts like the
rhythmic pounding of a kettle town. The little coal mining
town of Honeker is a disordered settlement of thirty or
forty dirty clabbored houses, two company stores, and a saloon.
Above the town, joined to it by two narrow roads,
is the Honiker Valley coal Mine, a savage, ugly black
scar on the side of a wooded hill. As our
story begins, Clark Kenton Lowis Lane, reporters for the Metropolis
Daily Planet, are riding up one of the roads in
an ancient car driven by the local taxi man.
Speaker 4: Ah can't take it no further, and he got the
gate closed, the lamp walk rest away?
Speaker 5: How far is it?
Speaker 4: Thank for a couple of hundred feet. It's the building
with the light in the window.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, what's the running board?

Speaker 2: Okay, forget it, skipper, here's your two dollars.

Speaker 7: Thanks now, good night tonight.
Speaker 2: There's a character for you, for.

Speaker 6: Old Luke and.
Speaker 7: Betsy combined age well one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 6: And both still running.
Speaker 2: You think we'll be when I combined age is one
hundred and fifty.
Speaker 7: I'd rather not think about it now. Let's get it
over with and get back to civilization.
Speaker 9: Is that the gate he was talking about?
Speaker 2: I don't see any other.
Speaker 9: How can we get in at the slots?
Speaker 7: I don't see a soul around?
Speaker 2: We said closed, not locked.
Speaker 6: Let's try.
Speaker 7: Oh dear, you know, Craig, I think the teeth is
suffering from premature smility. What is this what you call
an assignment for the two best reporters in the shop?
Speaker 2: Thanks Lord, thanks for what including me and the two
when you are again?
Speaker 7: Really does this make sense? Tracking all the way up
here just because some soup put a story on the
wire service at the miners pointed.
Speaker 2: I asked, Ah, the gate is open.
Speaker 7: Why couldn't at that earn door tell you ours?
Speaker 2: Not the question why ours? But to do or die?
Speaker 6: Hagar?
Speaker 7: We should have questioned it. You know how he is.
He gets sexation a hearted mind, sorry, is.
Speaker 9: More important than life itself.
Speaker 7: I don't know how you feel about it, but from now.

Speaker 2: Good evening, God, mister McGrath, that's right. I'm Clark Kent
and missus Lois Lane.
Speaker 7: How do you do?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: We're from the Metropolis Daily Planet where we phoned you,
but the local operator told us the mine wasn't accepting
any calls.
Speaker 6: The mine's closed down, yes.
Speaker 2: I know, matter of fact, that's why we're here. One
of the wire services carried a story something about the
minds being haunted, and we thought you might be able
to give us more details.
Speaker 9: Tell them what's my boy done? Go out and tell them.
Speaker 6: Get on back to your jack. Go on, don't they say?
Speaker 5: You'll be sure to tell him, Tell him about my boy,
Billy Baker.
Speaker 3: Sorry, you folks like to come in?
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, thanks, she stopped us on our way
up from the gate. Seems to have an obsession about
our boy.
Speaker 3: Miss Lane's thank you. Now, by rights, I shouldn't be
talking to you. Mister Henniker gave orders. He wants this
thing quieter down. Up that's come a big city paper
is interested in the crazy fool thing up here in
the hills.
Speaker 7: That's a good question, mister McGrath. Aunt a good question.
Speaker 2: It's like anything else. We take orders too. We were
sent here to get the story.
Speaker 5: Don't ask us why.
Speaker 2: If there's no story, we'll just turn around and go back.
Speaker 3: Well, it's this story, all right, but I don't put
me stuck in it. He's ignorant. People around here might
but I don't.
Speaker 7: Then, so you tell it to us, Miss McGrath.
Speaker 6: I don't know, I said.
Speaker 3: Mister Hunniker wants this quieter down. He's losing three thousand
a day with the fit sidle the men don't come
back soon, they'll sell out and turn his back on it.
He's an old man with plenty of money. You don't.
Speaker 2: We can promise you, mister McGrath. It isn't news. We
won't touch it.
Speaker 3: I mean anything I say is off the records.
Speaker 2: That's what it wants to No, No, let's get this straights.
If what you tell us is just local rumor or gossip,
it's aughtful. Like if it's news, the kind of news
we print, well, that's another story.
Speaker 6: It's not all right to you.
Speaker 3: Sounds all right depends how the work's ot.
Speaker 6: How much do you know?
Speaker 2: Only what the wire story said that your workers had
walked out because the mine was hot.
Speaker 6: You don't know why they think it's hearted.
Speaker 2: Nope, Well, a year.
Speaker 3: Ago today one of our pick men took it into
his head to do a little explorer of a condemned
work off.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry to interrupt, but what's.
Speaker 3: The working as a tunnel or a pit man where
coal can still be working?
Speaker 6: Well, anyway, we shut this one up.
Speaker 3: See on the count of the shore and was weak
and the walls was get in the split, making it
dangerous to dig coal in that. Yeah, that's right, But
that didn't stop this boy. You knew the working was
marked off, but he went in anyway. Well, we had
kind of a bonus deel on me. And see coal
was short, and I guess he figured he hit paved
it and there was plenty of coal in the working,
but it was too dangerous to get a dog.
Speaker 7: Oh, oh, I can guess what's coming.
Speaker 3: He guess right. He put the pick into the walls
a couple of times, and before anyone could shout him
out the.
Speaker 6: Shore, and then the walls came down on top of
him while.
Speaker 3: A thousand tons of coal and rock.
Speaker 2: And I'm suppose she got him out of lives.
Speaker 3: They never got him out at all. Mustn't even me
since trying.
Speaker 7: Me, he's still begged the mind.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 6: His folks signed up papers.
Speaker 3: Then it was all right, and mister Hacker agreed to
take care of him for the rest of their lives.
Even though it was the boy's foot. All w cost
fifty thousand dollars to think a shaft and dig up
that stuff. So we brought his minutester up, said a
few words over him, and let him lay peaceful. What
was his name, McCaul, Billy Baker. Billy Baker didn't know him, did.
Speaker 7: You well know?
Speaker 2: That old woman mentioned his name to her.
Speaker 3: Oh she's his mother. Oh you see, his father died
three or four months ago. We gave her a shack
on the mind property. She kind of cleans up around
the office.
Speaker 6: You know, everybody around here knows.
Speaker 3: I didn't understand.
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the story. You left Billy Baker
buried in the old mine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, you're ago today. Well, this morning when
the night shift came up out of the work and
they spread the room and they could hear Billy Baker's
ghosts down there. Why yeah, that.
Speaker 6: Was all the day crew needed.
Speaker 3: Most of them look from the old country, and a
lot of these people, well you know they're superstition.
Speaker 6: Of course they wouldn't go near the chef. Finally I
went down.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's just a lot of cock and full.
Speaker 7: What did the men say they hurt?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, some creaking and groaning, I guess.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: You get that sometimes in the mine when the shore
and sweats up and swells. But they will fit down,
not them.
Speaker 2: And that's the story.
Speaker 3: Eh, that's it.
Speaker 7: Well, all I can say is, as darkness falls, we
leave the picturesque coal mine, delicou Hunter and.
Speaker 9: Return to the big city where believe you mean.
Speaker 7: Tark Cat, I'm going to give mister Perry White a
big piece of my mind. Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 2: Mister Macross, what was that?
Speaker 6: Sounded like dynamite? That's stupid pools. What did they think
that's gonna accomplish?
Speaker 7: What happened?
Speaker 3: I blew up the old chaff leading down into the
contempted mind in seed idiot. I'd better rob them before
they do any real damn shoot them? Are you by
the shotgun? No, that's just a scare.
Speaker 2: The more I'll go along with it. You don't mind
my girl?
Speaker 3: Okay by me, but the lady better stayed behind that
kind of built tempered now.
Speaker 2: Man, he's right, Lord's will only be a few minutes.
Speaker 6: Are you coming? Yes?
Speaker 3: Sometimes I think I ought to have my headache down?
Speaker 2: Why do I bother with this?
Speaker 6: Why don't I just pack up and leave?
Speaker 2: Probably because you gotta kick out of mining coal?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Maybe, but the kick's not worth the blood.
Speaker 3: That's something those crazy fools.
Speaker 2: That chaff wasn't worse than anything wasn't now, but the
stay plane at the charge to keep the blast by
loose and showing in the main tunnel.
Speaker 3: I'll say this for the and he was a kick
after close lane.
Speaker 2: I must be fifty mom.
Speaker 6: All the old time.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys, get off the property or full
of full of buckshots.
Speaker 6: They hear what I said.
Speaker 5: He's no work for mine.
Speaker 11: Work course, nobody's asking it to work. The mind, now
get off the property. The night will blow your heads off.
I'll count three, one, two, three, Wow, I did it.
Speaker 3: They won't come back tonight. Let says tomorrow night, the
next night, twenty of nights after that. I'm not gonna
be responsible for what happens. Ken Uh, that's your name?
Is the heat one to two your favors? Well, if
I can gladly, I'm gonna call Honker and Harrisburg. I'm
gonna put you on and let you tell him what
you saw it tonight.
Speaker 2: It will help and he'll be glad to let him
sim let him close up.
Speaker 6: I just don't want to be responsible. It's not worth it.
Speaker 3: Come on, let's go back.
Speaker 6: He needs this mind like he needs a hole in
the head.
Speaker 2: He's got five open faces.
Speaker 6: It's over there squat.
Speaker 3: The only reason he told down to this one because
they named the town after them. So when I get
him on the phone, you tell them what those crazy
miners did it to night. Maybe that'll convince him her.
Speaker 2: Hey, what happened to this lane?
Speaker 6: Well? Maybe uh, maybe maybe she's watching the hands that lord.
Speaker 2: Llowys, that's funny didn't follow us, did I don't think.
Speaker 6: So, Lawys.
Speaker 2: Llowyd, you don't think maybe she saw hike into town,
not in the dark. No one else around.
Speaker 3: Isn't no one except me in Granny Baker that you
could have gotten far?
Speaker 6: Can't no matter where she.
Speaker 3: Went, she was only gone five minutes.
Speaker 2: I don't see a sign of anyone out here as
too duck and you know that just isn't anyone lowis.
Speaker 6: Lloyd.
Speaker 2: I should have heard you by now she was around
How far is it the town?
Speaker 6: Half mile down the hill?
Speaker 2: No, she wouldn't try it at night.
Speaker 6: What was that?
Speaker 3: Sounded like the slack chain on the main shaft up.
Speaker 6: To Come on?
Speaker 3: Let's get a look, you shure m my graw positive
that shaft car was up here at the top.
Speaker 6: Well, day couldn't have been the weather place last one
to use. It was a night ship when they came
up this morning.
Speaker 2: Now you say it at the bottom of the shaft,
five hundred and.
Speaker 3: Sixty seats down the card of hit the bottom. We
heard the slack chain rapping. But miss Lane couldn't have
taken the card down alone, not unless.
Speaker 6: She's been around deep chafts mine. Well she hasn't.
Speaker 3: Uh, there's no use looking down there, can't You can't
see nothing.
Speaker 2: You would be surprised. I can see the elevator car
and I see two people walking along a tunnel.
Speaker 6: What what do you answered me?
Speaker 2: No, man alive can see down that shafts them is
carrying a miners light. It's that old woman but Granny taker.
Speaker 6: Yeah, look this year idea.
Speaker 2: But Joe Kent, I'd just finish telling you that chaft
is five hundred and sixty feet deep and pitched. I
make my word for it. They're down there, Lois and
the old woman. How do we bring that car?
Speaker 3: I wait a minute, catting the price Lake Macral, I'm
not gonna stand here arguing with chess.
Speaker 2: Lane is down in that mine with a demanded person.
She's danged.
Speaker 3: I take it take it easy, and Granny take his
promised she wouldn't hurt a fly.
Speaker 2: Why didn't she take Loais miss lane down into the mine.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure she did because you say so. Don't
make it mcgral.
Speaker 2: Either you bring that elevator car up or I'll get
down that chaft under my own power. Then you're talking crazy.
Am I able to do it? I'll have to put
you to sleep. So make up your mind and make
it up fast.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, that's the way you want it.
Speaker 6: Throw that level, which one, the one on the right
with his shiny handle.
Speaker 2: You can't get down there alone, Kent without a light.
Speaker 6: I can't go with it.
Speaker 2: It kind of those miners might take it in their
heads to come back. Don't worry about me, all right,
but remember you're doing this on your own responsibility.
Speaker 6: Anything happens down there, we got the boy of getting
you out.
Speaker 2: You'll die in the dark like Billy Faker. We'll be
back in a moment for part two and the exciting
climax of the ghost of Billy Baker. What first here
is joy. Most of your listeners are well aware that
millions of people in Europe are seriously in need of
food and clothing, but not all of you are completely
familiar with Care c Are. This is shown by possible
post figures you see exclusive of Care packages. Private persons
set two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of relief
and gift packages to Europe last year alone. Now Care
buys its supplies in huge quantities and operates on a
non profit basis. For ten dollars, Care sends air mail
one of several different types of packages to whomever you
designate in fifteen different countries. Each food package is designed
to supplement the rations of a family of four for
a month. Just send ten dollars to Care, New York
for a food package, or spactify one of Care's other packages.
Give your name and address on the name of the
address of the recipient. You'll receive as signed receipt upon delivery.
Remember send more for less through Care. And Now back
to the Adventures of Superman and part two of the
Ghost of Billy Baker. Riding the elevator car.
Speaker 3: Down the main shaft over mccraw's warnings and protests, Park
Kent reaches the broad loading tunnel of the Honiker Mine,
almost six hundred feet beneath the surface.
Speaker 6: Other tunnels laid.
Speaker 2: With narrow cape, pan out from it in both directions
for a moment, can't stare it into the darkness.
Speaker 3: Making use of Superman's amazing X ray visions, he can
see clearly along the branch tunnels until they curve out
of sight. But curiously enough, he cannot see through the
thick black walls, or unknown to him, the coal mine
is laced with deposits of lead, one substance through which
his X ray vision cannot penetrate. Puzzled and confused, can't
start down the main tunnel, calling for Lois, Lower, Lower,
but the only reply is a mocking pickle fading down
the tunnel, bouncing from wall to wall like a thing alive. Meanwhile,
some distance from the main shaft, Lois and the old woman,
Granny Baker, are approaching what seems to be a dead end,
a heap of coal and rock and rubble reaching to
the tunnel ceiling.
Speaker 8: He is the place, he is where the old tunnel was.
Come down. Now, now you just listen, you just listen close.
Speaker 9: I don't hear anything.
Speaker 8: You've got to wait.
Speaker 10: He doesn't move all the time, Billy does When did
you hear him that? I can't get down here except
when the night shift is off. Sunday's mostly every Sunday.
Speaker 7: You heard him last time, and nicely.
Speaker 8: Is a bell even hurt his heart eaten? My billy
was a strong one. You listen dearly, you listen close.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, but I don't hear him.
Speaker 8: Let me get clos there moving not now, probably just
sitting billy any boy. I think we better go back.
Ain't nobody down here now?
Speaker 9: My billy boy scared him away day?
Speaker 8: You just be patient, GIRLI did you hear him like
I said?
Speaker 7: Yes, I'm sure I will, but I think we'd better
go back now. My friend will be waiting for me.
Speaker 9: Do you think I'm crazy in the head like everyone else?
Don't you know?
Speaker 5: It isn't that.
Speaker 8: You don't have to put on yes and do yourself
right now?
Speaker 9: Why did I ever come down here with this old
in No believe me?
Speaker 5: We can come back later.
Speaker 10: No, no way here and way nnstay till my baby
boy starts moving around.
Speaker 9: I've got to let you hear it so you can
tell all the people in the big city.
Speaker 7: Please it is. It's a cold down here, and I'm
not press on me enough.
Speaker 9: You won't freeze.
Speaker 5: You got more flesh on your bones.
Speaker 9: Than I have.
Speaker 5: If you want to say, why.
Speaker 7: Doesn't give me that light?
Speaker 9: I'll find my way back to shuffleone. Wouldn't that be
a crazy thing for me to do? Leave my shelf
was no light. There's a lot of tunnels down here.
Speaker 5: Everybody could get lost.
Speaker 7: Easy, and you just got to come with me, and
no more nonsense.
Speaker 10: Don't get your dander up, girly, and don't stock shop.
Speaker 8: I've been coming down here every week for a year,
has my been? Boy, wouldn't get lonesome?
Speaker 9: You ain't been done at once before.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry I came down this time. Don't you realize it? Well,
don't you understand your service and jad freeing.
Speaker 5: That so much?
Speaker 9: You know he's sitting in there, just waiting for me
to dig him out, always with a.
Speaker 8: Patient and my billy, Well I'm not patient.
Speaker 5: Give me the letter of my billy.
Speaker 9: Didn't?

Speaker 5: He starts leaving here.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 9: Let's what you tod all along, But you're wrong.
Speaker 7: You see she hears the sun moving around behind that
heap a ride.
Speaker 9: Don't think I know as she heard his heart saving
and good and strong.
Speaker 2: He soon Let's go back to the elevator, chef any
we can talk about it there now.
Speaker 7: Now I got to wait until my billy boy starts
moving around, says, I know he's all.
Speaker 2: Right, but I had to put up with wild earth.
Speaker 6: Did you come down here with her?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 9: Use you to whisper A lit won't change, Madison.
Speaker 8: I'm listening for my billy boy.
Speaker 2: You'll have to carry her back to the chaft body.
Speaker 9: He's dump in the room.
Speaker 8: Now you want to hear my billy boy?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I'd like to hear it. And up close
to them rocks.
Speaker 9: You can hear his heart beat now.
Speaker 7: And close, great Scott, what is it?
Speaker 8: Talk you hear it?
Speaker 2: Mister?
Speaker 8: Yes, you're not serious.
Speaker 7: He listen' heart?
Speaker 5: I was crazy, he didn't you know better?
Speaker 8: Now pack what is it?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Sounds like the beating of a heart.
Speaker 6: Maybe it is?
Speaker 5: Who know?
Speaker 9: Well what we gan to say?
Speaker 2: Now you're right, Grannie, Suppose you take miss Lane back
to the elevator. Chaf while I try to get your
son out from behind these rocks.
Speaker 9: I think you can.
Speaker 6: I'll try.
Speaker 9: Oh, I should be obliged. Come on, long, girl, follow.
Speaker 6: Me what it is?
Speaker 2: They go along with her.
Speaker 3: I'll meet you with the sheaf and I'm a friend
of a round.
Speaker 6: Here go and lors, it's all right, don't worry.
Speaker 7: What are you going to do.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to find out whether that's a heart.
Speaker 3: Or a hope. Waiting in the complete and utter darkness
until he is certain lower than the old woman are
beyond earshot can't quickly complete the transformation from a mild
mannered crime reporter to he roic, blue and red costumed
figure of Superman. Then, turning to the solid wall of
rock and rubble, he begins to tear it apart with
his bare hands, throwing huge boulders and slabs have scaled
one side as though they were pebbles.
Speaker 6: Doesn't seem to be.
Speaker 2: Any ends of this. There must be that creezy sound
didn't come from nowhere.
Speaker 3: Found head like a human screen shovel, Superman pours deeper
and steeper into the mass of rock and rubble, finally
breaks through into an open tunnel lit strangely enough, by
a battery operated bulb suspended from a wire nailed across
the ceilings. In one corner of the tunnel, half hidden
behind a pile of rock, is a human skeleton with
shreds of clothing still clinging to the bare dry bones.
Suddenly he hears Lois's saint far off scream for help.
Racing back along the main tunnel, he finds Lowers his
shell and the old woman screaming.
Speaker 2: Imprecations up the can.
Speaker 9: Over your rugging sack away, Yes, what happens?
Speaker 2: The elevator moves up with hold yourself is laying all right, Frenny,
quite good?
Speaker 3: Stand back.
Speaker 2: It's dynamite for the life you.
Speaker 6: I'll have to take the shaft. I'll be back for you.
Speaker 3: Laving the dynamite with its short swatering fuse, Superman leaps
up the shaft like an arrow shot from a bow,
and keeps going until, with his strange power of light,
he is hovering in the sky high above the mine.
Then flinging the dynamite away from him, he watches it
explodes safely harmlessly in empty air.
Speaker 2: But his work is not done.
Speaker 3: A human figure is running from the mine shaft to
the company office, dropping down like a bird of prey.
Speaker 2: Superman grabbed him as he reaches the door.
Speaker 12: All right, draw the hearty's over, you're true, johns in
the beginning cock and tells to me slowly.
Speaker 2: Well, McGrath's covered another entrance to the portion of the
mine that collapsed last year and trapped Billy Baker. It
was a tunnel on the other side of the hill. Yes,
he followed the tunnel a couple of months ago, discovered
Billy Baker's body and something else. What the collapse of
the tunnel walls That uncovered a deposit of uranium.
Speaker 9: Uranium.
Speaker 6: That's right.
Speaker 2: He's been working that tunnel secretly at night. Last night
the miners heard him moving around.
Speaker 7: Oh, Granny Baker must have been hearing.
Speaker 5: Him since he started.
Speaker 2: He did when he worked at Sunday nights. He wasn't
too concerned about keeping quiet because he thought the mine
was empty.
