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.

Superman marketed to Earth as an entrance

from the distant planet Krypton exploded.

And Ho disguised as Clark Kent, wild

planet reporter for the Daily Planet,

fights a never-ending battle for truth,

justice, and freedom with superpowers

far beyond those of ordinary mortals.

It's Superman, Superman, Superman,

Superman!

At a huge, centuries-old meteor crater in

the western desert, overnight, a

tree has sprung up out of the barren

sand. This is

like no tree on Earth.

I suspect it grew from a seedling carried

here centuries ago by the

meteor that formed this crater. Does that

mean that you think this tree is from

another planet, Dr. Fallon?I cannot think

of another explanation.

Good grief.

This is incredible. I can't

believe my eyes.

The weird tree creature wanders out of

the desert to the nearest suburban

community. Seeking to quench its

insatiable thirst, it drinks all the

water from a private swimming pool, a

small duck pond,

a factory's water tank. With each gulf of

water, the tree man grows taller and

taller.

Meanwhile, Superman, in the guise of

reporter Clark Kent, is at a local

headquarters of the California State

Police when the desk sergeant receives a

frantic telephone call. God, at our

new power dam in Rocky Canyon, there's a

giant creature trying to rip the dam

apart. Oh, no. Yeah. And if that happens,

we're goners. All of us. I'm getting out

of here fast.

This is the job for Superman.

As the giant tree man rips the retaining

wall open,

a powerful surge of blood water topples

the wooden creature and carries him

downstream.

Seconds later, it fades into the

landscape by assuming again the natural

appearance of a tree.

Great Scott. In a

few minutes, the town will be destroyed.

Moving along at super speed, the powerful

arm of the Man of Steel knights a deep

groove in the solid rock, thus weakening

the base of the towering rock.

This is my only chance

to damn off the flood

andSave the town.

Now to find the strange tree man. But

how do I do that?

The trees all look alike to me.

Superman, that tree creature was seen

walking over Green Mountain. He was 300

feet tall. Well, at that height, he could

easily lose himself in the redwood

forest. That's right. All those redwoods

are giant trees. I'd better find him.

Fast. Up, up,

and away. Wow, look at this one. It's as

wide as a house. I'll carve

my initials in this one, Dad. No, son,

you mustn't do that. I've

got you. Superman. You

shouldn't be up here without a plane.

Dad! I'm all right, son. Thanks to

Superman. Superman! That That

tree! It's alive!

Yes, I know. You'd better move out while

I deal with this creature. Look here.

I don't want to hurt you, so let me...

Oh, you want to play games, eh

Oh, no you don't. Now we'll play my way.

Sorry, old man, but your bite is worse

than your bark.

What are you going to do with it,

Superman?To make sure this poor

creature causes no more trouble on Earth,

I'm going to take him back to Arbora, his

home planet. Up!

With incredible power and speed, the Man

of Steel rockets up into space, carrying

the strange Man of Wood back to Arbora.

A watery planet inhabited by giant tree

men who require the tremendous quantities

of fresh water to survive.

Hi, Beanie. What have you got there?It's

a tree, Mr. Kent. For you. A

tree?Ohh Take it away, please.

I don't want it. Oh, gee whiz, Mr. Kent.

You'll get used to it. It'll grow on you.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
