With him was the doctor's daughter, Elsie, come on a

himself off from his friends and family since his return
from his latest expedition to the jungles of South America.
Finally breaking into the apparently deserted house, Ken has left

Elsie on the lower floor while he investigates footsteps in
an upper room. He finds doctor Beecham ready to defend
himself against intruders with a knife and gun, But just
as Kett's about to offer explanations, a ringing scream brings
both men racing back downstairs to the library. Everything is
in darkness. Kent strikes a match and they stare about
to find that Elsie has vanished.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Listen, Elsie, where are you? Elsie? Miss Beacham? Look back
at the lounge there. Maybe she fainted as hell?

Speaker 7 (03:35):
No, doctor, where's that draft coming from?

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Quick?

Speaker 8 (03:37):
Maybe she's out that way. That's how we got in.
Broke a door down. Come on, doctor, look it's open.

Speaker 9 (03:46):
That's the way she went.

Speaker 8 (03:47):
She must have seen something or been frightened by something
inside the house.

to see very well. First off, where did I leave

i'd finished with him.

Speaker 8 (04:50):

is where he ought to be up he's gone vanished.

Speaker 9 (04:57):
Now if I can find him, I may find Elsie too.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I guess here we are, mister. Where is that out there?
I think I'm quite crazy? What's going on here?

Speaker 8 (08:54):
Well, for one thing, those little brown men you brought
out here, I think they're doing their best to kill
the whole lot of us Kent.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Can just one moment that that taxi driver where is
he is? He? Is he there? It's so dark I
can't see right here. Chief, Look here, these these men
that you drove out. Did they carry anything with them
when they when they left the car?

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yes, they did.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
One of them had a long piece of bamboo, bamboo hollow?

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Was it hollow?

Speaker 7 (09:24):
Hollow?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, I guess it was all right, Kent, that's
it what they brought a bloke under shoot poisoned darts.

of those windows, great Scott, Yeah there you see, by
no means stand in front of windows. And the thing

(09:47):
that Elsie is out there somewhere. Oh, can I tell
you I can't stand it. I tell you I can't.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Easy, does it now? Easy?

Speaker 7 (09:54):
Wherever she is, they haven't got her. How do you
know that?

Speaker 9 (09:57):
Well, because if they.

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Did have her, it wouldn't be peppering us with arrows
or darts either. They'd use her as a hostage. Whatever
it is thereafter just a moment, how do you know
they're after anything? Well, doctor Beacham I'm not deaf and blind,
and you said yourself that I What did I say?

Don't you think you'd better tell me? Kent? If I do,
you'll be in the same position that I am. I've

behind the Sacred Emerald of the Incas? And where is
Elsie Beacham? Be with us again next time and follow
the story of Superman, and remember be sure to tune

(12:59):
in the next thrilling installment of the amazing transcription feature Superman.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Up in the Sky.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
It's a bod, it's a pain, It's Superman.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Superman is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics magazine.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
All Right, everybody, welcome back. Well, definitely a nice little
episode here, and we see that Clark goes after the
cab driver and that whole scene was absolutely hilarious. That
is just classic Golden Age comic book Superman type stuff

(13:46):
right there. And then of course he Clark as Superman
basically threatens Eddie Healey, the taxi car driver, and he's like,
you did not see me. You did not see any
of this. You remember that, okay? And then Eddie Heathy's like, oh, yes, yeah, sure, okay, boss,

(14:09):
whatever you say. That was funny, So it looks like
he has sort of revealed his identity to a person
at this point. Also, it was funny when Clark a
Superman was asking Eddie Heally why didn't you stop? Why
didn't you stop? And Eddie Heally was like, I don't know,
you may have been a cop in that red and

(14:31):
blue outfit or whatever. And it's kind of like a
cop with a cape and an S on his chest
and red boots and tights. Yeah, I kind of doubt it.
But anyways, and then later on in the episode, Clark

(14:54):
makes a remark to doctor Beacham about them being after something,
and doctor Beacham's like, how do you know they're after something?
And it's like I could see Clark kind of being like, oh,
I don't know. Maybe the fact that they're trying to
kill us all might have slightly given that away. Plus

(15:18):
the fact that, as Clark points out that doctor Beacham,
when Clark and doctor Beacham first met, doctor Beacham kind
of gave it away when he said you'll never get
what you're after. Yeah, that kind of gave it away too.
And we have there at the end. Notice they still
haven't found Elsie yet, but we have doctor Beacham gets

(15:40):
shot by a poisoned dart And I found that scene okay.
So this was obviously set up to be a cliffhanger, obviously,
but I found it a little bit annoying because doctor Beacham,
instead of just telling Clark how to give him the
antidote and minister it, doctor Beacham was just like, it's

(16:02):
too late. It's just too late. It's all over now.
It's too late, And it's like, yeah, you know, if
you would stop talking about how it's too late and
just tell Clark how to save you then guess what,
it wouldn't be too late, but now, because all you
want to talk about is how it's too late. Yeah,

(16:25):
it might be too late now, oh man, And I
know what they're trying to do. They're trying to draw
it out and prolong the suspense. But you can't help
but think, just tell the man how to save you
instead of just saying it's too late. It's too late.
And doctor Beacham and his delirium mumble something about this

(16:49):
mysterious Emerald of the Incas and how it could save
the whole human race. So we sort of have a
double cliffhanger here with doctor Beacham on the brink of
death and he reveals that this mysterious emerald could possibly
save the human race. And we also still haven't found

(17:11):
Elsie either, so lots of good mystery here. Notice that
we are three episodes into the storyline and we still
don't really know what's going on. We have a little
brief hint here at the end about some sort of
emerald that could be the center of this, but we
still really don't know what exactly is going on, and

(17:36):
so I guess we'll have to wait to find out
in the next episode. All right, folks, we are going
to take a quick break and then we'll be right
back with Part four of the Emerald of the Incas.

(17:56):
All right, everybody, let's go ahead and get into Part
four of the Emerald of the Incas. The title of
this one is The Immortal People. And this one aired
April eighth of nineteen forty Enjoy.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Presenting the transcription feature Superman.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Up in the Skyman.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Now Superman, strange visitor from another world has come down
to Earth as the champion of the Week and the oppressed.
When we last saw him, Superman and his character of
Clark kent within the library of Stone House in the
suburb of Brentwood, attempting to revive doctor George Haven's beaching,
world famous scientists and explorer who had been struck by

(18:50):
a poisoned dart which came through the window outside. In
the dark, mysterious brown figures from the Jungles of South
America besieging Stonehouse to recover the sacred Emerald of the Incas,
which doctor Beacham brought back from his latest expedition. Elsie,
the Doctor's daughter, has vanished, and so has his native servants.
Ingry and our story continues today. An hour has passed.

(19:13):
The taxi driver whom Superman found on the ground, has
fled in terror to the cellar. Doctor Beecham is rapidly
recovering as kept ends anxiously over him.

Speaker 7 (19:21):

Where's my daughter?

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Doctor?

Speaker 7 (19:38):
I don't know she's out there somewhere. Can't they've got
those murderers native? I don't think so. Doctor.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
I don't know where she is, but I don't think
they've got her. That taxi driver, where's he? Scared out
of his wits? He's done on the cellar?

Speaker 5 (19:52):
Kent the door.

Speaker 7 (19:53):
I'm trying again, block it.

Speaker 9 (19:54):
I'll stay back, doctor, I'll handless.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
What are you doing?

Speaker 9 (19:57):
Man?

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Don't open it? Doc? Did you hear that Elsie? Your daughter?

Speaker 10 (20:04):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (20:04):
There, Elsie died, Miss Beecham, Oh help me quick, put
up with you, great Scott, singry, it's singry.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Get him in. Die.

Speaker 10 (20:12):
He's hurt, he's.

Speaker 9 (20:13):
Dying, and close the door quick.

Speaker 10 (20:17):
He's been struck with poisoned dots. Can you help him,
save him? Was it?

Speaker 11 (20:21):
Two little brown men? They broke in the house and
carried me away, sing. We followed him and fought the moon.
Oh but he couldn't escape their dots.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
Yeah, then the hand can't write. Get him up on
the couch, doctor, I haven't there. How is he he's bad?
I'm afraid no more, cyrul.

Speaker 10 (20:38):
Please dare speecham?

Speaker 5 (20:39):
How did you know who he was?

Speaker 10 (20:41):
Mister Kent?

Speaker 11 (20:42):
He told me when he put out the brown men.
He asked me who I was, And when I told him,
he said, you come quick, I'm singry, oh dead?

Speaker 10 (20:51):
Can't you help him?

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Afraid?

Speaker 7 (20:52):
I can't, Elsie. It's too late, doctor, you mean this
the poison on the darts acts fast.

Speaker 10 (20:57):
Oh, don't let him die, he said, my life.

Speaker 7 (21:00):
He did his duty. I'll see. He's a faithful servant. Doctor. Look, yes,
I know, Kim. I'm afraid that's the end.

Speaker 9 (21:09):
Sure, there's nothing you can do.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
It's all over, Kent. We'd better carry him out of
the other room. All right, that's it easy, Now close
the door? Can all right? Doctor?

Speaker 10 (21:25):
Oh it's so dreadful dead? What's it all about? What
does it mean?

Speaker 7 (21:30):
I really think we ought to know that doctor. You
started to tell me once before, just just before the
poison died structure. Did they sure it's it's all right, Elsie?
Nothing happened with just to graze and can't helped out
quite nicely?

Speaker 10 (21:41):
Oh are you sure?

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Oh? Perfectly?

Speaker 7 (21:43):
Look at me.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
You're awfully pale.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
Naturally, he's been through a good deal, Miss Beecham. Yes,
it's solved you. I really think you'd both better sit down. Yes, yes,
here on the Davin Port, Elsie, are you sure that
causingry really fought off? The acid lands fought off what
doctor has at land? Indians kent from the headwaters of
the Orinoco. That's who those fellows outside are but dead?

Speaker 10 (22:05):
Please? What's it all about? Why were you hiding in
this house? Oh?

Speaker 7 (22:10):
We've been so worried. Oh it's a long story. I'll
I'll make it as short as I can. I'll listen
both of you. You know what an emerald looks like?

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Why?

Speaker 7 (22:19):
Of course, what's the biggest emeralds you ever saw or
heard of? Goodness, I don't know. Well, there's the star
of the Andes and the Southern Plain. They're pretty big,
that's right. But never mind, carrots, let's talk about inches,
the stars about an inch across, and the flame maybe
an inch and a half. Yes, what would you say
to an emerald carved in the form of a statue?

(22:39):
The statue of a god would have to be pretty small.
Three inches wide and every bit of eight inches high.

Speaker 10 (22:46):
What a genuine emerald that big.

Speaker 7 (22:48):
Victor Beachman, hardly seems possible. I don't wonder your surprised, Kent. Well,
that's what I brought back with me from the jungles
of South America, and that's why I've been hiding out
back of an electrified fence guard at most vicious pair
of dogs I could buy.

Speaker 10 (23:01):
But why Dad, who's trying to get the emerald back?

Speaker 7 (23:06):
The Aztland Indians Elsie for thousands of years? Literally, it's
been the most sacred idol of the tribe. Oh, doctor Beecham,
how in the world did you get it? I stole it?

Speaker 10 (23:18):
Did you say you stole it?

Speaker 7 (23:20):
I had to. It was the only way I had
to have that emerald. You can imagine what it might
be worth as a gem, Oh millions at least, yes, probably,
but entirely beyond its money value, which I don't care
a thing about, because I mean to give it back
eventually it has another value completely beyond price. But I
don't understand. But Elsie, thousands of years ago, the ancestors

(23:44):
of the Aztlands were one of the great nations of
the earth. They were called the immortal people because they
held the emerald God. We don't know much about them,
but we know that much.

Speaker 10 (23:57):
Go on, doctor, Dad, What did the emerald have to
do with it?

Speaker 7 (24:00):
That's what we've never been able to find out. That
is the great secret. You remember Panther de Leon, the
Spanish explorer Rea.

Speaker 10 (24:09):
He tried to find a bout of you.

Speaker 7 (24:11):
Yes, just so. He was following rumas Heed. He'd heard
of the secret, and he'd tried to find it, but
he failed. And where he failed, I hope I may
have succeeded high good heavens, Doctor Beatamer. You can't mean
it kent in some way. I don't pretend to know how.
A great secret is wrapped up in that emerald carving

(24:34):
the secret of the full life, the life without any
of the faults that troubles to day, without without greed,
without envy, without hatred. Possibly the secret of life itself
is hidden in that stone. A doctor, what what can
you do?

Speaker 9 (24:50):
With it.

Speaker 7 (24:51):
Every inch of that little statue is covered with engravings,
ancient writings.

Speaker 10 (24:56):
And you are trying to decipher those rite airs.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
I'm trying, Elsie. So far I have not succeeded, but
I intend to keep on working. Yes, but doctor, it's
too dangerous. You can't possibly keep on working, Oh can't.
You don't understand. If I can unlock that secret, the
secret of the immortals, imagine what it will mean, not
for me, but for the whole human race.

Speaker 10 (25:18):
Dan, what is it? What is the secret?

Speaker 7 (25:21):
Elsie? I haven't any idea. It may be a formula,
a secret of chemistry or physics, something that was discovered
once and then lost. And you are sure it's contained
in the carvings of the statue? Well what else if
not white it? The old tribe's guarded so carefully. They
knew too much for plain idol worship.

Speaker 10 (25:39):
Did you say the emerald was in a safe upstairs?

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Would you like to see it?

Speaker 8 (25:43):
The doctor? If I were you, I'd leave it there.
We still don't know what's going on outside. He may
be right, Dad, you haven't decided yet. How are you
going to go on tomorrow and the next day? What
you're going to do from now on.

Speaker 10 (25:54):
He is right. Things can't go on like this.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
What about calling in the police, doctor, or taking the
ore into a museum and working on it there?

Speaker 10 (26:02):
Dad, what's the matter?

Speaker 7 (26:03):
What is the doctor? Quiet? Upstairs? I thought I heard something.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
We haven't said. That was Nix Straw upstairs, doctor, It
was in that room. Quick, Oh, Dad, be careful. It's safe.
They've grown in the side of the house.

Speaker 10 (26:18):
Look the whole second floors coming.

Speaker 7 (26:20):
Down to look out, Come back, doctor, stairways ducked off.

Speaker 10 (26:26):
We can't get up that way now the backstairs.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
We may head them off.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Go ahead, doctor, You and your gonna try the other way.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
I'll stay here.

Speaker 8 (26:33):
You two may not be able to get through here,
and Clark Kent might not be able to either, But
Superman can.

Speaker 9 (26:38):
And it's time he tried all upper colors. Come right
down the staircase, ceiling and all. But it won't take
long to claire on a little thing like that.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
Can't where are you? Oh we're blocked in. Can't where
are you now?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
What?

Speaker 10 (26:57):
Something's happened?

Speaker 9 (26:58):
The wall must have fallen in behind them. It's all right,
I'm coming.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Tent the safe. Where's the safe?

Speaker 8 (27:05):
What did they do almost through. Get this beam out
of the way. No, man, If I can get through
that room, and I think I can, Is that.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
You I can't see a thing like a match quickly
half a second after, Oh here's the match. I have one,
great heavens, Look the safe. It's blown wide open.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
Oh Dad, you can't get to it. The floors are.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Blown away, just resting across a beam. Can't.

Speaker 9 (27:32):
They've got it.

Speaker 7 (27:33):
They've grew the safe and took the emeralds. The Emerald
of the Inkers has gone.

Speaker 10 (27:36):
Oh, mister Kim, do try to get to that window.
You'll fall.

Speaker 9 (27:41):
Listen, both of you. Don't you hear something?

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Listen?

Speaker 7 (27:46):
Yes, it's an airplane. They're getting away in an airplane.

Speaker 10 (27:49):
But I couldn't be. There is a room now, but
they couldn't get off the ground.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
I know an airplane engine when I hear one, and
look there it goes. No, it's an airplane, not the
kind you think, miss Peacham, doctor. Look they're getting away
in an amor gyro.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Look up, rising over the trees from the grounds of
stone houses a weird, ungainly object, huge propeller whirling ascending
almost vertically in the night. Air have the brown Men
from the Dark Jungle made off with the Emerald of

(28:26):
the Incas is the secret of the Immortal People lost
beyond recall or will Superman recover it? Be with us
again next time and follow the story, and remember be
sure to tune in the next thrilling installment of the
amazing transcription feature Superman.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
Up in the Sky Loop.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
It's a bird, It's a pain, It's Superman.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Superman is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics Magazine.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
All right, everybody, welcome back. Well, finally we have some
explanation behind what's going on. Doctor Beecham ends up surviving
the poisoned dart attack and he comes back to full

(29:23):
health again, and Elsie is able to get back into
the picture here thanks to Zingri, although we do lose ingr.
I can appreciate the fact that the writers mentioned that
the taxi cab driver Eddie Healy had ran down to
the basement to hat or something like that. I can

(29:45):
appreciate the fact that they didn't just drop him and
you know, completely forget about him. But I have a feeling,
and I don't know this for sure, because it's been
a long time since i've listened to this storyline, I
have a feeling the writers might forget about Eddie Healy
and just leave him in the basement. Don't know about
that for sure, but I have a bad feeling about it.

(30:08):
And most of this episode, as you noticed, was dialogue
where Okay, the first three episodes of this six part
storyline was all about just you know, setting up the
mystery and getting the ball rolling, so to speak. And
now here in episode four we have doctor Beecham finally

(30:30):
able to explain a little bit about what's going on.
He has gone to the jungle somewhere to steal this
emerald and because it contains supposedly the secrets of saving
the human race and getting rid of greed and envy
and all of humanity's problems. And I'm still kind of

(30:52):
wondering how exactly Stone is supposed to provide the answers
to that. But anyways, so oh, and we also have
life lessons here from doctor Beacham. Here, it's okay to
steal something as long as you're planning to give it

(31:12):
back later.

Speaker 10 (31:14):
Yay.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Life lessons from doctor Beacham. Although I will have to
say if the emerald could really save the whole human
race and wipe out all of its problems that might
make stealing the emerald somewhat justified. There So, and at
the end of the story today we saw that the

(31:36):
Indian tribe was able to break into the place where
the emerald was being held via explosion, and they made
off with the sacred Emerald of the Incas. One really
interesting thing here, they made off in an auto gyro.
And when I first heard the storyline, I had no

(31:59):
idea what soever what an autogyro was. What is an autogyro?
So got a little bit of information here from Wikipedia.
Wanted to read this to you. You might find it
a little bit interesting. An autogyro, also known as a
gyroplane or gyrocopter, is a type of rotorcraft that uses

(32:20):
an unpowered rotor in free auto rotation to develop lift.
Forward thrust is provided independently, typically by an engine driven propeller.
While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's
rotor must have air flowing across the rotor disc to
generate rotation, and the air flows upwards through the rotor

(32:44):
disc rather than down. It was invented by Spanish engineer
One de la Cierva in an attempt to create an
aircraft that could fly safely at low speeds. He first
flew one on the ninth of January of nineteen twenty
three at Kuatro Viento's airfield in Madrid. Serva's Autogiro is

(33:09):
considered the predecessor of the modern helicopter. Some places where
an autogyro appears in pop culture are in the film
The International House of nineteen thirty three. It happened one
night of nineteen thirty four. It was Batman's first aircraft
in Detective Comics number thirty one in September nineteen thirty nine.

(33:34):
He called it the bat Gyro. Doc Savage and The
Shadow both featured autogyros in their nineteen thirties and nineteen
forties pulp magazine adventures. In the film Mad Max two
of nineteen eighty one, the character known simply as Gyro.
Captain Pilot's a gyrocopter powered by VW Air cold engine.

(33:57):
So a little bit of background there, and the Auditgyro
basically the predecessor to the modern day helicopter. And if
you want to see a picture of it, go check
out Auditgiro on Wikipedia. And it's got a nice little
picture there for you. But I found that very interesting
because this is, like I said, this is the first
time I'd ever even heard of an audit gyro. But

(34:21):
it makes sense because this is nineteen forty and aircraft
was still in you know, its evolving development and getting
better and better and better. So not that far away
from when these original aircrafts were first made. All right,
everybody that is going to be a rap. Hope that
you enjoyed today's episode again. If you have any comments,
