Original subtitles

From the distant planet Mega, a flying

saucer streaks toward Earth. Its sole

occupant, an electronic computer in human

form, whose intricate circuits can

envelop him in an impenetrable shield of

force, or, if need be, make him

invisible. And he is armed with a

Pearson weapon, a ray gun, which can

shrink objects or people to microscopic

size. As the Megan

spacecraft enters Earth's atmosphere,

Lois Lane, intrepid girl reporter for The

Daily Planet, and cub reporter Jimmy

Olsen are returning from a routine

assignment, when suddenly--

Look, Ms. Lane, a meteor.

Come on, Jimmy, let's take a look.

Good grief! It's... It's

Brainiac! He's come back! Brainiac?

Jeepers, I thought Superman got rid of

him for good! Come on, let's get back to

the car. It... It's

him! I hope you're wearing your Superman

signal watch. I am. I sure hope it works

now.

In the office of the Daily Planet.

Superman, disguised as mild-mannered

reporter Clark Kent, recognizes the alarm

signal which can be detected only by his

super-keen hearing. That's Jimmy.

In danger. This is a

job-- For Superman!

Now look, Brainiac. You don't want

us. We're-- We're just little people.

Superman, watch out! Superman,

careful. Don't step on us. Don't worry,

my friends. I'll-- Watch out behind you!

You too, Superman?Now what do we do?

Relax, Lois. What?

Oh, I forgot about his

force shield. Oh, dear.

Isn't there something you can do,

Superman?I think there is, Lois.

His force shield doesn't extend beneath

his feet. Oh, sure. If it did,

it would lift him off the ground. Right.

Since it doesn't, I will.

The shrinking leg! It's aimed right at

us! As the humanoid computer slowly

rises,The ray gun continues to shrink

Superman and his friends to microscopic

size.

Superman, where did all these boulders

come from?They're not boulders, Jimmy.

They're pebbles. And these small rocks

are grains of sand. Gleeps! What kind of

tree is this?That's just the stem of the

dandelion. And these are blades of grass.

Oh, dear. Now we'll have to spend the

rest of our lives like no, we won't.

Brainiac won't remain invisible forever.

I'm going to find him, get a hold of that

ray gun and. restore us to normal size.

You wait right here.

Ohh Can you see him now?No, these

blades of grass are blocking my view.

I'll climb to the top of this dandelion

and have a look around.

Oh no, an ant! A giant ant!

Jimmy, help! Get Superman!

I hope he can hear this.

Oh!

The signal. Lois and Jimmy are in danger.

Superman, watch out! Oh, sorry,

Auntie, but I've got to spoil yourpicnic.

He's coming, Superman! Brainiac's coming

back this way! Good. Up, up, and

away! Seizing the chance he's been

waiting for, the Man of Steel rockets

upward toward the head of the

unsuspecting electronic man. Then the

diminutive Dynamo projects his powerful

heat vision, directing his destructive

beam at the circuits inside the

human-formed computer. A split

second later,The electronic man is

inoperative. And now,

finally, the ray gun is in the possession

of Superman. That's it.

Let's stand in front of it. Good. I'm

tired of being Tiny Jim. I hope

it works.

Now I'll destroy this once and

for all. Please

do. Come on, Jimmy.

Let's rush back to the office and write

the story. The end of the Brainiac,

thanks to Superman. Yeah! Don't

be too sure. Remember that Dr. Heckler

can always build another one on Mega. But

if he does, he'll have to build another

spacecraft, too, because I'm going to

destroy this one.

Uh-oh. The saucer's gone. Dr.

Heckler beat me to it. Recalled it by

remote control. And I'm sure it'll come

back again. with another Brainiac.

Hi, Clark. And where were you today?

Oh, uh, I-I was visiting with some ants.

That's ants, spelled

A-N-T-S.
