Speaker 4 (00:12):
And now Superman, strange and amazing figure from another world
who has come to Worth as the champion of the
week and the oppressed. As our story opens to day,
Superman in his character of Clark Kent Reporter is just
where we left in the laboratory of doctor Dahlgren, bending
over the reviving form of the scientist, who has been
stunned by the blowing open of his safe. Outside, a
(00:34):
distant clock is just struck five thirty Inside Canton, the
doctors stare at the empty safe, realizing that the steel
cylinders necessary to operate the Dogren atomic theme have been stolen,
and that the Yellow Mask can now make good his
threat to blow the Daily Planet building to fragments. On
the dot of six, Locus Lane has been sent to
(00:55):
bring the police, and on the paper sirens wail. A
squad cars race towards the scene of the explode. Meanwhile,
the Yellow Ask himself watches Brimley from a secret hiding place,
waiting for the uproar to die down.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
So the sound of the explosion has brought the police
like bees to a honeypot. Very well, I shall wait
until I am ready to leave, and then all the
police in the city will not stop me.

a dictaphone in every room of the laboratory and told
them of every move you made.

her away to safety. Next morning, in the offices of
the Daily blacklet.
Speaker 8 (08:56):
Well well, Loss come in said, it was quite an
experience you had last night.
Speaker 11 (09:02):
I tell you, mister White, I don't understand it. They
threw me out of the plane. I remember falling, That's
all I do remember.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Quickly.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Well that's almost enough. I imagine we all owe our lives
to your friend Clark Kent.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
Clark Kent, what did he do most amazing the very
last Minit He went up in a plane, rammed the
mask just as he was about to touch off that
infernal machine, and came down by parachute, just as you.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Did, as I did. I don't remember any parachute. You
don't think you've swam down, do you?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 11 (09:31):
It's all very hazy. But at the last minute, I
seem to recall that a man appeared out of nowhere,
just flying in the air.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You probably saw the mask falling out of his plane.
Oh no, this.
Speaker 11 (09:40):
Wasn't that kind of a man. Wore a long red
cape and he just took me in his arms and
carried me away.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
You are dreaming loss? Well, well look who's here?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Come in Kent? Morning, mister White, morning, miss Lane, good morning,
if you'll excuse me, mister Wait, I.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Don't know what miss Lane has against me.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
You mustn't mind her Kent. I can't thank you enough
of what you did. You saved all our lives.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I was just lucky.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
Mister Whitet crashed the planes and came down by parachute. Oh,
by the way, was anything left of the Mask's plane?
Speaker 8 (10:12):
Nothing left of either the plane or the mask. Doctor
Dogburn's machine was ruined.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Dough.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
Incidentally, he called earlier this morning to thank you and
tell you that he's destroyed the duplicate of that machine
and the plans for building it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He thought you'd a probe, Oh I do.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
It was much too dangerous a device in the hands
of the wrong person.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Oh we say, ken't. There's something been bothering me.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Lowe seems to think she was rescued by a man
in a red cape, a superman who flew through the
air you remember that Western story you covered. There were
rumors about such a man red cap flying through the air.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
How do you think so silly to talk about mister White?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I know, but he mister White, about that fire?
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
What about it? Just got a phone call. They think
it's a girl trapped on the twentieth floor. What a
girl trapped? Can't thin get her out? Mister White? Let
me cover that story?
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Maybe maybe what well, maybe maybe I can do something?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Can I cover it?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
But if the fire department can't Reachart, what do you
think you can do? What does Clark can't mean to do?
Does he intend to assume the blue costume and red
cape of Superman and attempt a daring rescue of the
trapped girl in broad daylight? Does he dare reveal himself
as Superman before the thousand people watching the fire in
the street below?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
What will happen?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Tune in next.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Time and find out, and remember, don't miss the next
installment of Superman.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
On the sky.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Whoop It's a bird, Hey it's Superman.
