Kellogg's Pet, The super Delicious Cereal presents the adventures of Superman.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Up Up, annoyed.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I stood on a speeding.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Bullet more powerful than a walkover, able to leave Paul
Buildings at a single boy. What up in the sky?
It's good bye. It's a place hits Superman.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yes, it's Superman, brought to you by that super delicious
cerial Kellogg's Pet. Today, Clark, Kenton Perry White are aghast
at the contents of a note left for them by
the German scientists Trifles. We'll join them in a moment,
But right now, gang, I've got a little reminder for you.
This is the time when many of you are starting
back to school, and that sometimes means that you have
less time for breakfast than you're used to. But don't
(00:47):
forget that you need a good, hearty breakfast.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Just as much now as you didn't vacation, perhaps even more.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
And right there is where that super Delicious Cereal Kellogg's
Pep can do you a doubly good turn. In the
first place, those crisp golden horse wheat flakes are chock
full of important whole brain nourishment, the kind you should
get every day, and What's more, every regular one ounce
bowlful of Pep gives you more vitamin B one and
more vitamin D than you can get in any other
nationally advertised wheat flake cereal. And you know how important
(01:14):
both those vitamins are. And man alive does Kellogg's Pep
taste grand. I'm willing to bet you be right back
for a second bowl fall when you've finished the first,
because those crisp flavorsome flakes have so much grand flavor.
So then be sure your mother gets you a package
of PAP tomorrow. Make it your own special breakfasters fall.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
And remember the name Pep.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Pep Pep is made by Kellogg's.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
In Battle Creek and now the Adventures of Superman. Armed
with Germany's newest secret weapon, an atomic energy gun capable
of disintegrating steel, a Nazi scientist named Teufel abducted Jimmy
Olsman and Lois Lane, planning to use them to lure
(01:57):
Superman to with death. While Tufel held the two reporters
captive in a deserted cliff cottage one hundred miles from Metropolis,
Clark Kent and editor Perry White went to the shabby
waterfront house from which Jimmy and Lois had disappeared. There
they found a gravely wounded shepherd dog and a letter
addressed to White and Kent. As we continue now, the
(02:18):
gray haired editor is reading the letter, his hands trembling. Listen,
what does it say? Chief? Wait a second, good Godfrey?
What is it? Jim and Loss?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
What about them? We'll never see them again? Kent? What
listen to this? Mister White and mister Kent, James Olsen
and Miss Lewis Lane are in my hands. There is
only one chance to save their lives. Have Superman in
your office at exactly six o'clock this evening, prepared to
receive a telephone call. If you are so foolish as
to delay even one instant while you attempt to trace
(02:49):
the call, miss Lane and Osum will fall at their
lives at once. It's signed the devil Great Scott. Their lost, Kent,
Jim and Lewis are lost. How can we contact Superman?
Let me see that letter? I read it to you'll
see it, Tom, don't waste time. Can call Inspector Henderson,
maybe the police chief? Wait a minute, whoever wrote this
note is evidently aware that we at the Daily planet.
(03:09):
Are the only people who've had contact with Superman? And
whoever it is, he's clever. Look at the ruse he
used to get Jimmy and Lewis here. Who's Oh, what
do you mean the dog? I'm convinced now that it
was arranged to have Jim find that dog. Then the
man put the ad in the papers stating that it
was a blind man seeing eye dog, knowing that Jim
would return the animal and a step into the trap.
I was suspicious the minute I learned the dog had
(03:31):
no license time. Why in them name my Heaven did
you let them return the dog? Why didn't you go
along because you were out of the office playing god.
Oh sure, Shore go ahead, go ahead, blame him on me. No,
I'm not blaming anyone. I'm let's analyze this carefully. This
note was evidently written by a German. Why look at
the handwriting. It's almost German script. Claimed. If you don't
stop wasting time playing detect me by, I don't know
what I'll do.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We've got to get Inspector Henderson out here and get
the police working on the right chief. But it's important
to have an idea who this criminal is, and then
what he wants. So in case he does, telephone me
telephone you huh oh oh, I mean good god free.
It's five point thirty now, and that call for Superman
is do it six? Well, I'll come on. We've got
to find the phone and then help a taxi back
to the office.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Dona.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It will do any good for us to be there
if there was only some way we could get in
touch with Superman. Don't worry about that. What did you say,
I said, Uh, don't, don't don't worry about it. Look, Chief,
there ought to be a phone in this building somewhere.
If there isn't, I remember seeing a candy store down
the block, why don't you get to a phone and
call Henderson. I'll shoot back to the office. Not without me,
you won't. But what can you do in this fellow?
(04:30):
Call as much as you and maybe more. Now open
the door. Oh, it's by thirty five now, and they'll
take us twenty minutes to get to the office. We'll
have to call Henderson from there. But Tack, hey, Tack, Hey, no,
I wouldn't you know? That wouldn't be it? I see
what we need that Well we made it ten just
(04:52):
five minutes to sax, come on into my office and
I just thought us something keenlive. It's another idea to
get me out of the way while you answer that
phone call. Say you're breath, I don't know what come
over you now? Why do you want to get rid
of me? I don't, but I then say that say
the night. Say now come on close it off. But Chief,
if you'll miss Backrack, get this straight. Any phone call
(05:13):
for mister Ken or for me or for Superman is
to be put through. It once on my wire and
call Inspector Henderson and ask him if you can come
right over. Tell him it's very important. I have her
call the ASPCA about the dog. Chief, Oh yes, and
miss Backrack. Call the ASPCA and tell them a dog's
been shot at eleven forty three West Avenue, round floor apartment.
That's all, Chief. Will you please listen to me now
(05:34):
and angle myself together? First, kid, I'm all unnerved. Lois
and Jim in the hands of a madman who wants
to talk to Superman and they'll be dead in five
minutes unless, hey, you won't. If Superman is on the job,
how can we get hold of Superman. We don't even
know where we is I know, Ken? Don't you go
out of your mind too. Ki've had just about all
I can take. My nerves are quivering like likes violin strengths.
(05:56):
Listen to me, Chief. You remember a couple of months
ago when that letter came for Superman and the fishing
captain called the seagull on the Northwest Peninsula?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yes, what about it? Do you remember how we found Superman? Yes?
I put an announcement on our radio use hour that
we had a lot of peorn ride by Joe Kenn exactly,
and Superman showed up and claimed the lad. No, but
it's two minutes to stakes now that call is doing
just two minutes. Superman can travel pretty far in two minutes.
She wanted to go upstairs to the broadcasting station and
put out a special announcement for Superman at once, interrupt
whatever program is on the air and get a Hoad't
(06:25):
do it, Ken, And I don't know what to do
any good, but it's worth trying. And if that bad
man calls up the line, gun try to hold him
on the pole. Can please tell him what time the contactom? Okay, okay,
She'd get going. I thought I'd never.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I've better locked the door first. Here we are out
of these clothes. Whether a crackpot has Lewis and Jimmy
as the Chief thinks, or whether a smart Natzi has
them as I think, I'm gonna be prepared to act
fast as Superman. There, I'm ready, just in time, six o'clock.
(07:00):
What said he'd call at six? I hope he doesn't
disappoint me. H oh, there it is right on the dot.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Hello, I would like to speak with Superman.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Who's calling?
Speaker 3 (07:12):

Speaker 2 (07:14):
This is Superman speaking.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Listen, then Superman.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
If it is really you, it is alright. Well, if
you're down to Jimmy Olson on this lane, there's no
time for a question.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
If you try to delay me while you attempt to
trace this call, I would hang up and not call again.
Is that clear?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Clear enough? Go ahead?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Name to me at a place about one hundred miles
from Metropolis. If you are Superman. If you say you
should be able to arrive here in.

Less than a minute, am I not going? Go ahead?
Keep talking.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I wanna give you just sixty seconds from the time
I hang up the telephone to arrive here. If you
are Superman, you will be able to do it. If
you are not, your joke will cost you dearly, because
at the end of the sixty seconds ultimate miss lane
will die and I will be gone long before your

And now back to our story telephoning the Daily Planet
where Superman was awaiting the call. Teufel, the Nazi scientist
gave the Man of Steel just one minute to travel
one hundred miles to the cottage where Teufel is holding
Jimmy Osen and Lowest Lane prisoners. Streaking over the ocean,
Superman turned towards shore at an abandoned lighthouse. There's the
(10:45):
cottage high up on the wooded cliff all right pasta
or Kim and lewis in the cottage bound hand and foot,
and a tall, gaunt woman watching them. Who's the squat
man on the porch for the German hack cut in

amazing weapon, the man of Steel staggers back toward the
(12:23):
edge of the cliff, robbed of his amazing strength and
advancing on him step by step, his fat, ugly face
aglow with triumph. The Nazi scientist slowly squeezes the trigger
of his atom gun until the crackle of the electric
spark becomes a thunderous roar. What will happen? Is there
