Presenting the transcription feature Superman up inthe sky. Look, it's a bird,
it's a plain, It's Superman andnow Superman. When we last saw
him, Superman as Clark kent hadcome to the town of Dyreville with Lois
(00:21):
Lane to save it from the grimdesigns of the Yellow Mask, who had
threatened to destroy it unless the citypaid him the huge sum of a million
dollars. Within thirty six hours,kenteth discovered that the Mask intends to wipe
out the mighty Harley Dam above thecity and sweep away every living thing in
the resulting flood. But how theMask plans to break the dam, guarded
as it is by heavily armed police, is still a mystery to day.
(00:45):
As our story continues, sudden terrorhas seized a small group standing on top
of the dam, less than twelvehours to go before the end of the
time limit set by the Yellow Mask, but already strange rumbling shocks far below
the surface of the water sound thewarnings of disaster, and Lois Lane,
the city commissioner of Dyreville, caughton the roadway up the dam, raced
wildly for the shore. What's thatthe slave same come on, come on,
(01:08):
don't stop to look back. No, I don't think so take it
easy. Commission had noise. Whateverit was, it's all over now,
Ken, I'll give you my word. I thought it was all over right
ten minutes. What was it?What happened I can't imagine. Felt like
an earthquake, shocks, or anexplosion way down under the water. Explosion.
(01:32):
Can say it might have been atthe But why even if the mask
is going to blow out the dam, we've still got housed by his own
word, that's right till midnight tonight. I'm not so sure about that.
Look, here's why I followed youout here. This letter came just after
you left my office. What isit? It's a note. Don't ask
me how it came because I don'tknow. All I know is that I've
held it on my desk. I'dhave sworn they hadn't been his hole in
(01:53):
the room. Here read it,Kenn to the City Commission. The Secret
Empire is becoming impatient. I amnot pleased with the way Dyreville meets my
demands. Let there be more speed, or I may change my mind.
Sign the yellow mask. More speedmay change his mind? And what does
(02:14):
he mean by that commissioner. Themask may be fooling us. It's not
like him to give such a plainwarning. Mister kit I don't understand.
I mean just this. What ifthe mask doesn't mean to blow up the
dam at all? What if he'sgot some other scheme? I can't Why
do you think that pleas let usknow too much? Almost looks as if
he wanted us all up here whilehe worked out another plan somewhere else.
If that's the case, what canwe do? ALUs? I mean,
(02:36):
miss Lane, you go back totown with the commissioner, back to the
meeting. Isn't that your car rightover there? Yes? It is.
Are you sure that's the best thingto do. I'm not sure. Now
nobody can be sure of anything,and I'll take your word for it.
Ken, come along, miss laydonhose turn up Peter's we're going back.
Mister Kemp, what are you goingto do? Oh? Stay around,
keep my eyes open and my earsall. I'm getting miss Lane. N's
(02:57):
it and Kent. Whatever happens,try and get me the meeting. I'll
do that, Commissioner, that's apromise. Don't forget. And good luck
to you, not only to me. Good luck to all of us.
Look, eh, we'll need alittle luck now that they're gone. I
think it's time Clark Kent gave awayto Superman. Any of those policemen watching,
(03:21):
No, I think I'll have alook underwater, find out where those
explosions came from. Here I gohere, here's something looks like a piece
of polished metal. And right upagainst the damn tool where the crack is.
(03:45):
I can get it loose from thebottom, none of it? Gosh,
d it loose? Now? Upup in the air and over the
shore to see what it is upup in the shulder of a group of
pine trees. Superman examines the curiousobject he is taken from the bottom of
(04:06):
Harley Lake. Amazement shows in hiseyes. He leaps again into the sky
and streaks for the eating chamber.In the console hall of Dyreville, where
fear stricken citizens look at each otherwith pale, drawn faces. Don't you
know better than call me out?Now? Who is it? There?
He is? Commissioner said, youknew him? Oh can't, well,
quick Man? Has anything happened?Commissioner? Where's miss Lash? She's all
(04:28):
right, she's waiting in my office. And what about the mask, A
Commissioner, I've found the reason forthat explosion we felt this afternoon. It
was a torpedo. A torpedo,that's what I said, and underwater torpedo
fired from somewhere up the lake atthe face of the Harley Dam. No
wonder it shook. Here's but whythe time had n't expired? What was
the reason? Number one? Toterrify us? Number two, to show
us what he could do. Commissioner, when the time comes, the yellow
(04:51):
Mask can blow that dam into athousand bits? Where is he? Can't
we find it and stop him?We might if we had time. He
could be anywhere on Harley Lake.And it's getting dark. No time for
that, Commissioner. What's the meetingdoing? Oh nothing, talking it over,
arguing back and forth. We havea radio in there in case the
Mask sends another message, and theproceedings are being broadcast so that everyone in
(05:13):
Darville will know what's going on.Will I pay the money? I don't
know, you, Commissioner, Itell me quickly. If the dam does
go, how does the water comedown the city? Billions of gallons?
Kempt? Well wouldn't That's not whatI mean. What's its course. Which
way does it go down through theJefferson Gorge and then into the valley?
And Dinville's right in the way.Who's the gorge? Commissioner? If you
(05:35):
could block that gorge, what wouldhappen? I don't know, Yes,
I do too. The flood wouldgo down the Old River Bay and miss
the city, miss it entirely andjoining the river again two miles below.
Dirive Commissioner. Could you dynamize thatgorge? Block it up? I don't
know. Oh no, no,we couldn't, not in the time we
had. I'll try it. Callin the army, have their engineers get
(05:57):
right out there and set charges.It's your only chance, ken, do
you think? Well, if that'sthe only way, listen, they're calling
for a vote. I'm gonna goback in there. Can you'd better come
to there make a final decision?Come along all right? Well, gentlemen,
are you ready for the question?Gentlemen? They can't wait. Pay
(06:20):
lass gentlemen. It has been movedand seconded, and no further action be
taken in the matter of the demandsmade on Direville by the figure known as
the Yellow Match. All those infavor ah contrary minded it is so.
Gentlemen, you have made your decision, and I think a wise one.
(06:43):
The people of the city cannot yieldto the threat of fear, and they
will. Gentlemen, you have madeyour decision, and I have made mind.
Where's the commissioner, It's coming overthe radio. I shallnot wait until
midnight. By your city now atonce, and others may know what it
means to defy the will of theyellow match. Run by your lives,
(07:08):
your pools, save them if youcan't another thread. Yes, I have
released my torpedoes. The flood isalready on its way. Order order,
gentlemen, he can't meet it.That was just a threat. He can't
do it. Now keep your seatscoming. Whose voice was that broadcast?
(07:29):
You heard it on the radio yesterday. You know who it was. But
I don't believe him. Where's thatnews reporter? Where's cart can't? What's
the matter? What all of them? Listen? A phone call just came
in, Commissioner. It's been blownto pieces. Polydam is destroyed. The
(07:50):
flood is coming down on dialis thinkit's And meanwhile, where is Clark Kent?
Vanish from the scene, change ina twinkling to the flying form of
Superman, faster than an airplane.Red cloak streaming in the wind, he
rushes back up the valley to meetthe boiling, roaring flood of Harley Lake,
(08:11):
pouring down toward the narrow gorge ofthe Jefferson River. I've a worked
fest. This has got to bethe time. First to see if that
devil was telling the truth. Thenthe block of the gorge. It's one
chance in a thousand. Even Supermancan't hold back a flood. O.
It won't hurt me. I can'tdrown, but they can kill every living
solely Direville. Faster, faster.Ah, there it is boil like a
(08:41):
Miller's. So you did it afterall, Mask, Well, let's see
if it's still time to stop you. Back to the Jefferson Gorge. Racing
ahead of the blood, Superman swoopeddown to the only place where it can
be turned from the doom city,the narrow bend of the man made gorge.
Rocky cliffs rise one hundred feet oneither side. Down Thunder's a towering
(09:03):
wall of angry water. There itis. I can't get there ahead of
the water, but maybe I canpluck it off down, down, tearing
at the granite walls. Bloodwater's ragingon every hand. Superman rips into the
living rock sends great masses plunging tothe foot of the gorge. But more
(09:26):
is needed, and yet more thewater is thundering through a great point of
stone, hangs high overhead. Ah, one last chance, if I can
rip petals, crash it down therein the middle. Here it goes not
much time. What's more, it'scracking starting to go. How it's down,
(09:52):
It's done it. It's flock thegorge, the the flood's going down
the old channel. It'll miss tire, He'll buy half a mile. In
the last second of time, Supermantears down the hierarchy walls of Jefferson Parde
turns aside the mainstream of the flood, sends it down. It's all harmless.
Channel saves the city of Diyarville,And two hours later, in a
(10:16):
telegraph office on the city's main street, alrighty comes another sheet, same address,
para white daily Planet. Well,mister Kent fancy meaning you here?

time? Oh, I don't knowout and around. Well, one thing

is. You're cowardly running away cutsyou right out of it, I've said,
mister White, a complete account ofhow Dyerville was saved from the flood.
This is one time, mister Clark, kent't when you weren't in on
it. Hiding a smile, Kentturns away, then the smile abruptly fades.
(11:05):
