Presenting the transcription feature Superman up atthe sky hook. It's a bird,
it's a quaint It's Superman, nowSuperman. Superman had left the blazing and
fernoff Stone House and gone winging hisway back over the sound toward the rect

(00:21):
auto gyro of the Indian priests whohad recovered the Emerald of the Incas from
doctor George Haven Peacham, world famousscientist and explorer, and set fire to
his temporary home, remaining on thegrounds of Stonehouse to watch the blaze and
summon help. Doctor Beecham and asdoor Elsie had both made startling and important
discoveries. As our story continues today, we find them in a small

(00:42):
car racing ord a distant airport,hoping against hope to get there in time.
Listen, which out here's a curse, Elsie. You almost hit that
car dead. It's all right.Look here that thing you picked up on
the lawn. You hardly tell meabout it at all. Providential, simply
providential. If we can only findthose native priests, So what do you

(01:03):
do. I'll show them what I'vefound. The sacred Amulet of the Head
Priest, almost as sacred as theEmerald itself, he see, not quite
but almost, And you really thinkyou can bargain with it? Only if
I can get there, Only ifwe can make the airport before they can
take off in their plane. Dad, what will you do? I'll return
the amulet and borrow the emerald.That's all I want of it. I
don't mean to keep it. Inever intended that, Dad, this emerald?

(01:25):
Is it really as important as allthat? Yes, Elsie, I've
told you once, and I'll tellyou again. If I can recover the
Emerald of the Inkers and decipher thewriting carved on its base, I may
have found the secret of life itself, possibly the secret of life everlasting.
Or hurry, dear, faster ifyou can. I'm doing my best,
Dad. We must get there intime to head them off, I tell
you we must. I wonder ifthat reporter cat has found the Autogyro.

(01:56):
Meanwhile, I over the water ofthe sound, Superman wings and wheels,
his marvelous telescopic eyesight, piercing theblackness below for some sign of the wrecked
auto Gyrol. I could have swornthis was the place just off that point
with a white building. But what'sthat hard down below the surface? Looks

(02:16):
like wreckage underwater. The plane wassunk deliberately. Ah. The next thing
to do is pay a call atthe nearest station of the coast Guard.
That white house looks like the place. There's the signal light down. We
go in the front yard. Seemsashamed to wake them out of a sound

(02:42):
sleep. The chances how they keepsomebody on duty all night anyway, and
for the moment I'll have to becomekent Superman might amaze. But the coast
Guard, all right, all right, that's a big run. Well,
I'm sorry to disturb you, butwhy well, what is it? I'm
looking for some friends of mine whoset out this afternoon in an auto gyro.
Ah, they're not a jarro.Hey, yes you know them fellas

(03:02):
well. We're acquainted, we've met. Well, they ain't here, but
they've been picked up all right.Oh, seems they had trouble and came
down on the water for a mileat Indians, wasn't they well? Yes,
more or less? Well, ifthey ain't, they sure got a
swell ten. Anyhow, we broughtthem in and they beat it. Can
you tell me where they've gone?Central Airport? They said, We couldn't

(03:23):
understand half their lingo. They don'tspeak ignally. So Hot Central Airport.
You mean they charted another plane.I mean they're leaving for parts unknown.
They told me the time. It'sjust about five minutes from now. Five
minutes so unless you're figuring on gettingto that airport by radio or flying there
yourself, you're out of luck.It's thirty miles Oh. Thanks, sorry
to have bothered you. Okay,it's too bad you missed your friends.

(03:46):
But maybe they won't take off.The baramter has fallen. Looks like dirty
weather coming up. Good night thenight. So you think I've missed them,
sir? Eh, Well live andlearn. Five minutes before they take
off? Huh? And the airportis thirty miles away. Well you'll never
know what you can do until youtry. Here goes up up, dad,

(04:17):
Look there it is. There's theairport. Oh, and there's the
gate. Elsie, what are youdoing? You'll put us in the ditch.
Sorry, can't help it, dad, I had to make that turn,
would have gone right by, Ihadn't. Look what's that out there
out there on the runway. Thatis the runway. It's a seaplane acreage.
Oh oh, there is a flashof light. It's a plane.

(04:38):
It's going up. I saw itin the flash. You'll see Stop stop,
help help stop that plane. Stopit, Dad, come back,
it's too late, they're moving.Oh the thing, Dad, Stop?
That must be the plane. Nobodyelse would be taking off? And whether

(05:00):
this, why doesn't somebody come stop? Then catch them? Somebody stop.
High over the airport, a greatwhite seatplane rocks and slips in the sudden
grip of the storm. Lightning STAPswickedly through low cloud shows figures running wildly
for shelter. On the field belowchows another figure faster than the storm itself,

(05:20):
racing down the wind. Superman comejust in time to meet a seaplane
heading south with the Indian priests ofbazat Land. Ah. There she is.
Must be private seaplane swinging toward theopen water. And what fools to
take off at a time like this, right, Scott. The lightning shows

(05:42):
it up like daytime, not thatI needed. Sorry, gentlemen, you've
got a fast chip there, butit's not quite as fast as Superman.
I think we'll just put a suddenstop to that trip south. I brought
down an autogiro. Shouldn't want toI can do the same with the seaplane.
Here I come. Ah, thenif I dive into the cabin,

(06:08):
what the great Heaven's lightning hold oflightning struck the plane and smashed the pieces
on fire. The mat are pullingit into the water. If I don't
catch them, they'll be drowned.Gotta get there, fast, down down
into the sea, faster, faster. What happened, Elsie? I couldn't

(06:31):
see, Oh, Dad, Idon't know the lightning. Could you make
it out? I said, no, Dad, I'm not sure it keeps
him for the gold of lightning wentright through the plane, and then I
didn't see anything at all. Here'sstay under the shelter, dead, good
heavens, here comes mister Kent.Kent? What Kent? What did you
hear me? Doctor? Or?Rather? Good morning? You got room

(06:53):
in here for three more? Whythose men with you? The brown men
Kent? The priests? Oh,yes, strangest thing. I was on
my way here, following the autogyro when there was a flash of lightning
and a seaplane went down on thesea, just off the breakwater, and
you rescue them off. But onedoctor, pilot was done for the lightning
boat went right through him. Butthese two. Well call it luck.

(07:14):
Why ken't it's amazing, simply unbelievable. Well, here we are. There's
one thing I must tell you,doctor. I had a choice, A
choice, yes, come over herea minute, a little. Well,
that's better, Yes, a choice. I could have saved the baggage with
whatever might have been in it.You understand, doctor, Yes, I
understand the emerald, yes, orthe two priests. But I couldn't save

(07:35):
both. It had to be oneor the other. Mister Kent, we
understand human life, Miss Beecham.They've done a lot to you, poisoned
arrows fire. But after all,well there was something on their side too,
and I couldn't just sit there andlet them drown. Oh can't,
of course not. You did exactlyright. I hoped you'd think that it's
too bad about the emerald, ofcourse, not telling where it is now.

(07:56):
The Emerald, the Incas is goneforever, mister Kent. The priest,
he's coming this way. White men, you save our lives we have
as a land. We thank you. Don't mention it. You have great
magic, white man magic, betterthan ours. I have seen you fly
through air. That's enough of that. Haven't mind the rest that's just one

(08:16):
thing we wanted. We know whatyou want, the sacred Emerald. But
it is at the bottom of thegreat water. Then it's all over.
And if that's the case, there'sno use my keeping this any longer.
What's that, doctor, white Man? Will you find that on the lawn
outside my house? It's an ambulator? Priests Samulat of the Azatland Indians.

(08:37):
Could it by any chance for yourswhite Man? Give it to me?
Of course, take it. Ohmy goodness, seems to mean everything to
him. Man, you think youhave lost, but you have not.
What what does he mean? Mymagic? Tell me you do not want
emerald to see? No, no, of course not. On the emerald

(08:58):
was writing. It was writing youwish to read. Yes, that's it.
That's all I wanted for, Believeme very well. Writing is here
there? What does he mean?Who's tapping his head? You mean to
say, you'll tell me everything thatwas on the emerald. You can remember
it. We will do that,every last sign on the Jewel of the

(09:18):
Immortals. But no one know whatit means. That's all right, my
studies, that's what I want todo. Work it out. It may
take me years, but Kent.Do you hear what he says? Stead,
I can't believe it. Maybe thesecret isn't lost after all. Once
my people know what writing on emeraldmean. Now they do not know.
If you help them, remember,maybe you do great good duel, can't

(09:43):
I still don't believe it. It'snot possible. I can't where your going,
mister, can look. The Emerald'sgone, but everything else is all
right. And I've just remembered something. After all, I have a newspaper,
man, and this may be thebiggest story since the flood the long
