(00:00):
Presenting the transcription feature Superman Up inthe Sky. Look, it's a word,
it's a plain, It's Superman andnow Superman. As our story opens
to day, Clark Kent sits athis desk in the city room of his
newspaper, putting the finishing touches ona follow up story about the bursting of

(00:23):
the Great Dam at Treville, astrange venture in which Superman played a thrilling
part, but already an even strangeradventure is at hand. Above the clatter
of typewriters and newstakers, Kent hearsthe door of a private office open behind
him. He half turns in hischair just as j Hamlin, assistant to
editor White, calls him by name. Hey there, Clark Kent, right

(00:47):
here, come in here, manneron the door. This is something very
special, Kent. And if misterWhite we're here, I know that he'd
want you to take an out.Oh I don't think you know, miss
Beecham. Do you know? I'mafraid I don't. Elsie. This is
Clark Kent. How do you do? Mister bran? Delighted to know so.
Now, Ken, take close attention. You've heard of doctor George Haven
Beacham haven't you, explorer scientist,doctor Alligy. Oh yes, indeed.

(01:10):
Well, Elsie's his daughter. Ohyes, I've known her since she was
an infant, and her father isone of my closest friends. Now here's
the situation. Something mysterious and unusualhas happened to doctor Beacham. But suppose
you tell the story, Elsie.It may sound a little silly to mister
camp for I'm sure it won't goout. Ahead, misspeach him from the
beginning, Elsie, Well, it'sthis way. Nine months ago my father

(01:33):
went into the jungles of South Americato supervise the excavation of some ancient tombs.
He wrote to me regularly, andeverything seemed to be quite all right.
How often did you hear from him, Elsie? Oh? About once
a week. The last letter cametwo days before he sailed for home.
Entity he told me not to meethim at the boat. That's strange.
Did he give any reason, noneat all? He said he'd phone me,

(01:53):
and did he? Yes, hedid. Two hours at the boat
dock. And what did he say, mis speach him practically? No.
He sounded almost ghostly, like aman afraid of his life. Oh now,
you're just imagining things, Elsie.If I know your father, and
I do, he's never been afraidof anything. That's just what's had me
worried. That and the instructions hegave me. What were the instructions was

(02:15):
peacham well? First? He toldme he couldn't see me for quite some
time. That and its help isn'tnatural? Can't? Elsie and her father
have always been devoted to one another. I see, I'll go on to
speach him. He said he wasgoing out to Brentwood for a while,
but he had to be alone.Did he say where in Brentwood? Mispeach
him? The stone House? Buthe wanted me not to try to communicate
with him. He said he wasquite well and that he'd brought back a

(02:36):
native servant to look after him,a half breed named Zingray. You did
try to call him, though,didn't you. I waited until yesterday.
Then I couldn't stand it any longer. You phoned, Yes, there was
no answer. That's queer. Ifyour father was using the stone House in
Brentwood as a hideaway and what seemsto me be there, that's just how

(02:57):
I felt, mister Kemp. No, No, you know why I'm so
worried. Have you thought of notifyingthe Brentwood police. Oh no, I
didn't. Father despises publicity. He'dbe furious with me. There's only one
thing to do, Ken, youtake Elsie to brent Wood and find out
what's what why. I'd be gladto let's see it's it's six now.

(03:17):
I'll suppose we have dinner, missPeachy, and then drive out. I'd
love to mister Ken, well,shall we leave now? We don't want
to get out there too late.I'm ready if you are, let me
know the moment to find out anything. Sure, Thanks to Heaven. Goodbye
Uncle Jay, and thanks a millionforget it and stop worrying. Oh goodness,

(03:44):
what a dreary looking place is thisBrentwood, mister Ken. This is
Breadwood, all right, miss Peach. And I think that stonehouse back of
those trees, and behind that ironfence, well, the dad's very Sidney
doesn't want callers. Hi looks completelyclosed up. Yes, a light anywhere,
I'll say. I guess we passedthe gate, the gate you know,
leading into the ground. What areyou getting out for? Where are

(04:10):
you going? I just thought i'drun back and see if the gates are
open. Wait here a minute,will you well? Don't leave me alone
here too long, mister King,don't worry mus Beecham. I'll be right
back. I hope she doesn't tryto follow me. Something about the look
of this fence and gate I don'tquite like. It's too carefully hidden away
back of the shrubbery, purposely hidden. I wonder why? Ah here we

(04:34):
are? Oh? I wonder ifI can get through the fence or over
it or electrified? Eh? Quitea joel too, Ah, this looks
like a job for Superman. Prettysmart shooting high powered boltage through an iron
fence, but not smart enough.Get back out of the shrubbery and look

(04:58):
around. Ah, here's the gatethat's probably electrified too. Well, I'll
just kick it in and drive thecar right through. I think like arriving
in style. Here goes. Whoeverbuilt this gate cerally did want privacy?

(05:21):
You won't have it long? Thatdoes it? Now? Back to miss
beetsche As Clark Kent. There youare. Is everything all right? I
can't say just yet, but thingsare certainly opening up. Let's turn the

(05:42):
car around and see what's going onat that house. Eh, what are
we going to do drive right in? Sure? Why not? Doesn't seem
exactly as I rewarded, mister Kent. We'll find out soon enough. Here's
the entrance gate. Did you sayyou've just opened them? More or less?
Why it looked like they were blownin it's a hurricane. Well they
were old and rusty, Misspecham theyjust fell apart. What are you stopping

(06:05):
here on the dragway for? Andwhy are you switching off the lights?
I look here, miss Peacham,I'm gonna tell you quite frankly, that
we may run into trouble for misterKent, what do you mean? No,
Please, don't get hysterical. Iwon't, miss Beecham. I want
to go up to that house andhave a look around before well before they
know we're here. Mister Kent,do you think Do you think anything's happened
to my father? I miss speechhim, honestly, I don't think anything,

(06:28):
not yet. Then? Why whyare the secrecy? Why are you
leaving me here and going to thehouse yourself? You must know more than
you're telling me, or believe me. I don't. It's just that your
father and whoever else is with himin the house seem to want privacy,
and they've tried to make sure ofit for some unknown reason, that privacy
is vitally important to them. Oh, let me come with you. No,
not please. You just stay hereand watch the car, and if

(06:49):
you see anything or want me foranything, blow the horns. I'm afraid
I don't like it here. You'rethe silenced. No, there's nothing to
be afraid of. You just sittight while I investigate. Where will you
be? Not too far away?Remember now, if anything happens, just
blow that horn and keep blowing.All right, mister kin, But please,

(07:10):
Harry, Please Harry. Poor kid, she's frightened, stiff a little
wonder. I don't like to leaveher alone, but she can't be around
when Superman's doing his stuff. Thatlooks like he has to. Well,
I'll just climb up the side ofStonehouse a little way and see what's doing.

(07:34):
Clinging to the second story window ofstone House, Superman peers into the
dark interior, listens intently. Adoor slams and suddenly the night is stabbed.
Or the wild blowing of the autohorn and the weird baying of hounds.
What's that? Somebody blowing a horn? Else? She must be in
trouble. All right, Miss Mitcham, I'm coming attacked by huge masters.

(08:01):
Miss Beecham, I'm coming. Getme out. You're plumbing through the windows.
Don't get up. I'll take careof them, all right. So

(08:31):
do I about this? Where areyou other than your hounds? Home?
Before I take it? The piecesgo on, get away, don't come
back because they gone, mister kimback, Miss Beecham, and I've gone.
Miss Peacham, you can come outof the car if you're like the
frightened me. So, mister kcame out of nowhere. The dog is

(08:54):
like wool. They did look prettydangerous and black one particularly. I was
sitting in the car reading for youwhen I heard them barking something. They
were up in the running board.Oh, mister Kenneth was ghastly. Well

in case the dogs decide to return. I've discovered there's someone in the house,
maybe your father or admit, misterken what's that hello? I don't
