Original subtitles

Faster than a speeding bullet. More

powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings at a single

bound.

Look up in the sky.

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's

Superman. It's Superman. Man of gold.

Superman.

Superman, marketed to Earth as an infant

from the distant planet Krypton,

exploded. And who disguised as Clark

Kent, Mile Planet reporter for the Daily

Planet, fights a never-ending battle for

truth, justice and freedom with

superpowers far beyond those of ordinary.

Nestled in remote mountain country, the

tiny community of Carbontown begins

another workday at the mines, when

suddenly, as miners prepare to descend

into the coal pits, a strange, unearthly

sound pierces the morning calm.

Mass panic grips the terrified townsfolk

as the strange craft alight--

From its interior, a crew of odd

beings emerges.

The police, joined by reinforcements,

move in to challenge the invaders. But a

blast from the spaceship's weapons sends

them scurrying for cover.

Now, confident that they have secured

their position. The Raiders prepare to

load their space vehicle with coal, to

the utter amazement of the miners.

Look at that! I don't get it.

They traveled millions of miles just

to steal coal.

News of this curious activity spreads

like wildfire, reaches the city of

Metropolis, bringing an instant response

from the Man of Steel.

At super speed, covering miles in

fractions of a second, Superman streaks

to the stricken town and swoops to the

rescue.

Now, boys, let's have a little talk. Old

Earthman. We have no wish

to harm you or anyone else. Then what

are you doing here?Why are you taking

this coal?We were forced to

raid your planet. Forced?You must

believe me. Aruk, a criminal

scientist of our world, holds our

friends hostages. Ohh If

we don't carry out his orders, he will

kill the hostages. But why are you sent

to steal coal?Coal is a form of

carbon. An element very scarce

on our planet, Aruk invented a

process for converting. carbon

into the hardest substance in the

universe. You mean like diamonds?Yes,

only many times harder.

With enough of this substance, a rook can

build an indestructible fleet. In

that case, you need help, badly. Suppose

I came to your world. We would

gladly take you there. I've got a better

idea. I'll take you there.

Get inside and secure the hatch.

All aboard. Up, up,

and away! Faster

than the speed of light, Superman carries

the spaceship through millions of miles

of trackless outer space. His super ears,

following directions, transmitted through

the hull of the spaceship. Now, as he

enters the strange planet's gravitational

belt, the occupants of the domed,

impenetrable fortress of Aruk, master

scientist, master criminal, are

alerted to his arrival.

So, the rebels bring a superhuman

earthling to fight for them. Give him a

taste of our might. At once,

Aruk.

He destroyed them, every one of them.

close the dome. Gather the hostages.

Here, Sarooq.

So that's Sarooq's fortress.

Yes, built of super hard carbon,

which no force can penetrate.

Well, let's try it for size.

Wait, Earthman. Observe.

My men hold deadly weapons on our

hostages. Retreat, or I order

them to fire. All right. I guess I

know when I'm licked. That is wise. You

are strong, Earthman, but not strong

enough to defeat.

Guess again, Aruk. Hurry.

Shoot them down. Destroy them.

You see, Aruk, your own invention

protects them.

They're all yours now. You can deliver

them to justice. Up, up, and away!

Farewell, Superman, and thank you.

Our whole world will remember what you

have done for us.

Superman saves alien planet.

Fantastic. How did you ever get this

story, Kent?You'll never know, Chief.

All I can tell you is that I had to

travel far to get it.
