this yellow mask means what he says. Yes, I'm afraid that's true enough.

Commissioner. Suppose you were going todestroy Direville. How would you do
it? I can't. You're outof your mind now I see what he
means, Commissioner, Is there anyway you can think of any sudden disaster
that would destroy the city at once. Why fire, I imagine flood flood
Eh, you mean a flood fromthe river. Oh, not exactly,
flood from the hills. Flood fromthe hills. Oh here, look here,
(01:30):

its suburbs, m right up inthe fall of the hills as that's it,
right under the mountains. And yousee that black lion just about huh
what's there? And that's the HollyDam with the lake up above. Say,
come to think of it, ifI were bent on wipping Dyerville off
the map, I'd blow out theHolly Dam if I could, Commissioner,
(01:53):
if the damn did go out,what would happen the end of the world?
Camp So far as Diarville's concerned,there's a lake that's ten miles long,
billions of gallons water, and itwould all come down on dire there
and wipe out the town. Itcould actually do that, It couldn't.
Excuse me, City Commissioner's office,This is your friend, the yellow mask,
(02:15):

remind you that you have only twentyfour hours to go twenty four hours before
every man, woman and child inDyersville will brown like a rat unless I

run, you won't find anything.We've dealt with a yellow mask before herees.
But but where was he? Whatdid he mean? I don't know
where he was, but it's plainenough what he meant. I heard what
he said about drowning free man,woman and child like a rat. He
means to destroy the damn the dayCommissioner. Yes, we've got to omit
(03:00):
night. I've met the mask beforeand didn't come off second best. This
isn't the time for boasting, misterSorry, miss Lane, call it confidence
if you like. Don't stop tosplit hairs. What are you going to

(03:21):
Come along, Miss Lane, keepin touch with me by phone camp and
launch of luck. We need thecommissioner so low borrowing a car Kenton Lewis
Lane start at once on the LonelyMountain, drive to the top of the
Harley Dam. And meanwhile, safein his secret hideout near the dam,
the yellow mask gives quick instructions tohis henchman, Keno. Are you there,
(03:44):
Keno? Come inside? Okay,bors, what's doing? There'll be
a lot doing, Keno, quitea lot. Promptly at midnight we destroyed
thirty thousand people. Within the nexthalf hour we destroy to which to that
news porter Clark Kent and his friendMiss Lewis Lane. Where are they?
I have been informed they are drivingtoward the damn in a car. You
(04:08):
will meet that car Keino and carryon from there. Well, how do
I stop, boys? Very simply? Look here? You see that dynamo
in the corner. Yeah, Iwill start it going. I know how
it runs, but you don't knowhow it stops, Kino except in the
usual way. But now see here, hey, watch that little box.
(04:30):
A very useful invention, Keno,one of my own, hardly bigger than
a camera. But I pointed atthe dynamo. Watch carefully, Kino,
and press this button. Hey,the dynamo its stopped naturally, anyone can
do it, even you, Keno, with my little box. How's it?
(04:53):
Wait? Never mind that, Keno. The point is that it does
work and that you can work it. Do you know the abandoned cabin where
the road makes a right angle turn? Oh? Yeah, sure, good.
You will go there and be readywhen mister Clark Kent comes by in
his car. What do I do? Boys, hide inside the cabin.
When you see the car approaching,point the box through the window directly across
(05:16):
the road. And what will happen? The car will stop instantly, Keno,
No foolin' why I mission trouble,Keno, the engine will stop remming,
and if you do your part thereafterso mister Kent. Okay, boys,
I guess I catch on. That'sall. Now go, don't make
any mistakes. And do you mindtelling me, mister Kent, just what
(05:44):
you propose to do when we getto the dam. Oh? Just look
around the s lane. See whatwe can see. Do you think you'll
be likely to see anything that's escapedthe police? Oh? I might surprises
do happen? Eh, here's acrossroad, or a turn or something one
of which way we go? Now? Oh, don't you know the word?
I followed? The garage didn't sayanything about a crossroad. Why don't
you stop and ask? Maybe there'ssomebody in that old cabin over there?
(06:05):
Doesn't look like it. We're allright, there's a sign, Harley,
damn turn right? What's the matter? That's funny? The motors stopped dead,
just like that. I'm not blind, mister Kent, nor deaf.
I can see it stopped. Doyou think you brought your mind to bear?
You could find out why it'd be. We're out of guess I've filled
up before we left. Oh well, what are you going to do?
(06:30):
Bring my mind to bear? Justsit where you are. I want to
do it. Maybe there's something wrongwith the wiring. I'll take a look,
mister Kent. Ok Overpowered Kent andLois Lanter dragged away from the car
(06:53):
and carried into the abandoned cabin bythe side of the road. Kent,
realizing at once from Keno's words thatthe mask is behind the attack, pretends
weakness and the desperate hope of learningthe masked plans, tossed in a room
by himself, tied hand and foot. He watches with interest as Keino enters
and arranges a mechanism on the floorwith wires. What are you doing there?
(07:13):
And what have you done with missLaine? Or miss Laine? Oh
she's okay, Pal, right inthe next room. I kind of restless,
ain't she? Well? That won'tlast long, not more than five
minutes if I get dis fixed.What are you doing with that battery?
What do you think? I'm fixingup a nice little one way ticket to
(07:34):
dream land for you and the galpboth dear now, I reckon, she
said, what is that thing?Don't worry, pal, You'll find out
you're not figuring by any chance onblowing us up? Are you? Smart?
Guy? Catches right on? That'smurder, Keino. Only if they
catch you, I think twice ifI way to so it's lucky you ain't
(07:56):
me. Well, So long,pal me. The rest of the boys
have date need the dam and wegot to keep it. So long and
pleasant dreams. Ah, the devil'splanning to blow us up? Well,
there are several ways of playing thatgame, my friend. I can't stack
(08:16):
it. Gotta get going. There'sany reason for just lying here and watching
that bomb go off. Here's whereClark Kent takes time out. It's Superman's
turn. Ah. I'll just snapthese ropes and take that battery thing apart.
Ah. Now I think it's timeto leave. We've got a date
of the damn too. You knowI'm coming with Lane locked the door,
(08:41):
have they well? I need alittle light exercise. Hm. She's fainted.
That's lucky, so much the better. When she comes to, she'll
never know what happened. I gotto pick her up and get out of
here. I'd like to follow Kenoto where the mask is hiding out.
I'm afraid to leave Lois here alone. It wouldn't do to take her with
(09:03):
me. I'll go back to thedam up, up and away, carrying
the unconscious form of Lois laying inhis arms. Superman leaps into the sky
and head toward a patch of woodlandnear the dam, where he can arrive
without being seen. And meanwhile,on the dam itself, troops, patrol
(09:24):
and police keep watch. Suddenly acar roars up and stops with a wild
scream of breaks, Commissioner, wedidn't expect you up here. Hell of
mind, that's hard and quick.Have you found anything, your sir,
not a thing. Has there beena reporter up here for the name Kent
Kent? No, sir, nobodyfor that name. Oh here he comes
now, and the girl with him. Oh, Kent Kent. Well how
(09:48):

my office? I got a message? Great, heavens. What's the matter
with miss Lane? I'm all right, I don't remember. We had a
little accident driving up accidently. Nothingserious, though, Commissioner she heard.
Oh no, no, this lanewill be all right. Tell me now,
you you say you got a message, Come out here, Kent,
(10:09):
out on top of the dam.But we won't be overheard, all right.
Oh you come to miss Lane,Commissioner. Eh, what is it?
Another message from the mask? Waita minute, I'll show it to
you. What what's happening? Canyou hear that? You feel it?
It's the damn it's beginning to shake. Get out of here, run for
(10:33):
the shore. Come on, suddencrisis at the Harley Dam. What is
the meaning of the ominous rumpling?And hasn't anything to do with the mysterious
message? The commissioner got the messagethat brought him racing to the dam tune
in next time and follow the story. And remember be sure to tune in
