1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:08,199
Speaker 1: Presenting the transcription feature Superman up in the sky.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: Look, it's a bird, it's a plain, It's Superman.

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,599
Speaker 1: And now Superman.

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 3: When we last saw him, Superman as Clark kent had

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,920
come to the town of Dyreville with Lois Lane to

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,399
save it from the grim designs of the Yellow Mask,

7
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:27,120
who had threatened to destroy it unless the city paid

8
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:29,839
him the huge sum of a million dollars. Within thirty

9
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:33,320
six hours, kenteth discovered that the Mask intends to wipe

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,799
out the mighty Harley Dam above the city and sweep

11
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,280
away every living thing in the resulting flood. But how

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,560
the Mask plans to break the dam, guarded as it

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,640
is by heavily armed police, is still a mystery to day.

14
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,920
As our story continues, sudden terror has seized a small

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,560
group standing on top of the dam, less than twelve

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,479
hours to go before the end of the time limit

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,560
set by the Yellow Mask, but already strange rumbling shocks

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,799
far below the surface of the water sound the warnings

19
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:02,960
of disaster, and Lois Lane, the city commissioner of Dyreville,

20
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:05,560
caught on the roadway up the dam, raced wildly for

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,040
the shore.

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,079
Speaker 2: What's that the slave same come on, come on, don't

23
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:10,920
stop to look back.

24
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so take it easy. Commission had noise.

25
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:21,799
Whatever it was, it's all over now, Ken, I'll give

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,359
you my word.

27
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:24,519
Speaker 5: I thought it was all over right ten minutes.

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,879
Speaker 4: What was it? What happened I can't imagine.

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,519
Speaker 6: Felt like an earthquake, shocks, or an explosion way down

30
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:31,120
under the water.

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 4: Explosion. Can say it might have been at the But

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,439
why even.

33
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 7: If the mask is going to blow out the dam,

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,200
we've still got housed by his own word.

35
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:41,079
Speaker 4: That's right till midnight tonight.

36
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 6: I'm not so sure about that. Look, here's why I

37
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:46,120
followed you out here. This letter came just after you

38
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:46,840
left my office.

39
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: What is it?

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,239
Speaker 6: It's a note. Don't ask me how it came because

41
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,159
I don't know. All I know is that I've held

42
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,400
it on my desk. I'd have sworn they hadn't been

43
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,200
his hole in the room.

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,879
Speaker 5: Here read it, Kenn to.

45
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:03,159
Speaker 8: The City Commission. The Secret Empire is becoming impatient. I

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,079
am not pleased with the way Dyreville meets my demands.

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,479
Let there be more speed, or I may change my mind.

48
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:11,400
Sign the yellow mask.

49
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 5: More speed may change his mind?

50
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 8: And what does he mean by that commissioner. The mask

51
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,319
may be fooling us. It's not like him to give

52
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,159
such a plain warning.

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 9: Mister kit I don't understand.

54
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: I mean just this.

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 8: What if the mask doesn't mean to blow up the

56
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,159
dam at all? What if he's got some other scheme?

57
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,439
I can't Why do you think that pleas let us

58
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,400
know too much? Almost looks as if he wanted us

59
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:33,800
all up here while he worked out another plan somewhere else.

60
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 9: If that's the case, what can we do?

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: ALUs?

62
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:38,159
Speaker 8: I mean, miss Lane, you go back to town with

63
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:39,360
the commissioner, back to the meeting.

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,039
Speaker 4: Isn't that your car right over there?

65
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,479
Speaker 5: Yes? It is. Are you sure that's the best thing

66
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:43,759
to do.

67
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,879
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Now nobody can be sure of anything, and.

68
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:48,599
Speaker 6: I'll take your word for it. Ken, come along, miss

69
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,960
laydon hose turn up Peter's we're going back.

70
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 9: Mister Kemp, what are you going to do?

71
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:55,599
Speaker 4: Oh? Stay around, keep my eyes open and my ears all.

72
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 6: I'm getting miss Lane. N's it and Kent. Whatever happens,

73
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:00,560
try and get me the meeting.

74
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: I'll do that, Commissioner, that's a promise.

75
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 5: Don't forget.

76
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: And good luck to you, not only to me. Good

77
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,159
luck to all of us.

78
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 8: Look, eh, we'll need a little luck now that they're gone.

79
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 10: I think it's time Clark Kent gave away to Superman.

80
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:23,120
Any of those policemen watching, No, I think I'll have

81
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,520
a look underwater, find out where those explosions came from.

82
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 5: Here I go.

83
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,159
Speaker 10: Here, here's something looks like a piece of polished metal.

84
00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:44,719
And right up against the damn tool where the crack is.

85
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:47,479
I can get it loose from the bottom.

86
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: None of it? Gosh, d it loose?

87
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:52,479
Speaker 5: Now?

88
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,759
Speaker 10: Up up in the air and over the shore to

89
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,039
see what it is up up.

90
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: In the shulder of a group of pine trees. Superman

91
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:06,960
examines the curious object he is taken from the bottom

92
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,599
of Harley Lake.

93
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: Amazement shows in his eyes.

94
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: He leaps again into the sky and streaks for the

95
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,159
eating chamber in the console hall of Dreville, where fear

96
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:20,160
stricken citizens look at each other with pale, drawn faces.

97
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 5: Don't you know better than call me out? Now? Who

98
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:22,839
is it?

99
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: There?

100
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: He is?

101
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: Commissioner said, you knew him?

102
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: Oh can't, well, quick Man? Has anything happened?

103
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,439
Speaker 4: Commissioner? Where's miss Lash?

104
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:30,079
Speaker 5: She's all right, she's waiting in my office.

105
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,519
Speaker 8: And what about the mask, A Commissioner, I've found the

106
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,399
reason for that explosion we felt this afternoon.

107
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: It was a torpedo.

108
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:38,879
Speaker 8: A torpedo, that's what I said, and underwater torpedo fired

109
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,399
from somewhere up the lake at the face of the

110
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:41,040
Harley Dam.

111
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: No wonder it shook.

112
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: Here's but why the time had n't expired? What was

113
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,560
the reason?

114
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: Number one?

115
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 8: To terrify us? Number two, to show us what he

116
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,879
could do. Commissioner, when the time comes, the yellow Mask

117
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,800
can blow that dam into a thousand bits?

118
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 5: Where is he?

119
00:04:56,399 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 8: Can't we find it and stop him? We might if

120
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,519
we had time. He could be anywhere on Harley Lake.

121
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,519
And it's getting dark. No time for that, Commissioner. What's

122
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,120
the meeting doing?

123
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 6: Oh nothing, talking it over, arguing back and forth. We

124
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,680
have a radio in there in case the Mask sends

125
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,360
another message, and the proceedings are being broadcast so that

126
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:15,360
everyone in Darville will know what's going on.

127
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: Will I pay the money? I don't know, you, Commissioner,

128
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,240
I tell me quickly. If the dam does go, how

129
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,560
does the water come down the city?

130
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 5: Billions of gallons? Kempt?

131
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 4: Well wouldn't That's not what I mean. What's its course.

132
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 6: Which way does it go down through the Jefferson Gorge

133
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,240
and then into the valley?

134
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 5: And Dinville's right in the way.

135
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,879
Speaker 4: Who's the gorge? Commissioner?

136
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: If you could block that gorge, what would happen?

137
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 6: I don't know, Yes, I do too. The flood would

138
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:44,319
go down the Old River Bay and miss the city,

139
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:47,040
miss it entirely and joining the river again two miles below.

140
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: Dirive Commissioner. Could you dynamize that gorge? Block it up?

141
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 5: I don't know. Oh no, no, we couldn't, not in

142
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:55,199
the time we had.

143
00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: I'll try it.

144
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,639
Speaker 8: Call in the army, have their engineers get right out

145
00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:58,399
there and set charges.

146
00:05:58,439 --> 00:05:59,079
Speaker 4: It's your only.

147
00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:00,519
Speaker 5: Chance, ken, do you think?

148
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:04,759
Speaker 6: Well, if that's the only way, listen, they're calling for

149
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:05,120
a vote.

150
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:07,639
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go back in there. Can you'd better come

151
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,279
to there make a final decision?

152
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:10,199
Speaker 4: Come along all right?

153
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: Well, gentlemen, are you ready for the question?

154
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: Gentlemen? They can't wait. Pay lass gentlemen.

155
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,199
Speaker 5: It has been moved and seconded, and.

156
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 6: No further action be taken in the matter of the

157
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,839
demands made on Direville by the figure known as the

158
00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:36,720
Yellow Match. All those in favor ah contrary minded.

159
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,319
Speaker 5: It is so. Gentlemen, you have made your decision, and

160
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:43,639
I think a wise one.

161
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:46,199
Speaker 6: The people of the city cannot yield to the threat

162
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,120
of fear, and they will.

163
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,879
Speaker 11: Gentlemen, you have made your decision, and I have made mind.

164
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 4: Where's the commissioner, It's coming over the radio.

165
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:58,639
Speaker 5: I shallnot wait until midnight.

166
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 11: By your city now at once, and others may know

167
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,800
what it means to defy the will of the yellow match.

168
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,519
