Original subtitles

Lois and her companions are televising an upstate flood.

Clark is also covering the story and now suddenly decides there's a job for

Superman.

Better clear out of here. You're in a bad spot. The dam up above will break at

any minute.

Thanks.

Pack it up. We're pulling out.

What's the rush?

Let's make this an epic of TV reporting.

You heard what the man said, didn't you?

What's the matter? You scared?

We're leaving whether she does or not.

I've stayed until the last minute.

That was Superman.

He grabbed our truck out of the flood.

I never saw anything like it.

Are you all right?

I guess so.

I thought I was a goner.

You were well on your way.

I arrived just in time.

That's quite an outfit you have here.

A lot of gadgets we don't have in a newspaper office.

What's that front compartment for?

I didn't know we had one.

Let's have a look.

What do you think of it?

I don't know.

But I'm sure it has nothing to do with television.

I'll ask Earl when I see him.

No, don't.

Just keep your eye on this compartment the next time the truck is working.

Someone is coming down the road.

Yes, it's Superman.

He just pulled the truck out of the flood with me in it.

We saw him do it.

I wouldn't have believed it possible.

It was easy for Superman.

Well, I'm certainly obliged to you for saving this lane and the truck it was a

pleasure Now I must get back to the flooded area

Any

reason why we should move out of here

We feel your organization has rendered the community a great public service in

televising the dramatic story of the flood.

Please accept this plaque, our special award for the best news story of the

year. Signed, Ronald Porter Affiliated Press Association.

This would not have been possible without your efforts.

We wouldn't be here to accept it if it weren't for Superman.

Well, words alone cannot express my gratitude.

You'll find my appreciation reflected in your next paycheck.

Thank you, Mr. Luthor. Thanks, boss.

You've earned a rest.

Take the day off and be ready for a full schedule tomorrow.

Thank you.

Bye. Goodbye.

Excel to headquarters.

Excel to headquarters.

Excel to headquarters.

Come in, Excel.

Superman is busy upstate at the flood.

We'll take advantage of his absence and make a cleanup.

Install the equipment in truck two.

Tomorrow we'll survey the locations on list three.

Whose bright idea was this getting up before the crack of dawn?

I take my orders from the program department.

They want a man on the street telecast, the early morning riser. We got up even

before he did.

Pick on someone now.

Ready the mic, Eddie.

We're on the air.

How do you do, and how are you this bright, fine morning? Sleepy.

Well, that's one man's opinion.

Save it. We're off the air.

The other truck has it now.

We'll move to a more favorable location.

Okay, Eddie, you can wrap it up.

Give me a good drill and go on up front.

I was just going.

I can understand that easily enough. Thank you, Mr. Romano.

Oh, and you, sir. What is your name?

Joe Evans.

And what brings you out so early this morning?

Well, I'm a night watchman, and I'm on my way home.

Does that answer your question?

It sure does.

Thank you, sir.

And now, early birds, we'll switch you back to the main studio for the time

signal.

Give us a hand.

Coming.

Ready on the shoe store? Go ahead.

Four turns right to 54.

Three left to 31.

Two right to 26.

Left to three.

That's it.

What's next on the list?

Russell for a shot.

This is going to be a big haul.

Drive over to the fur shop.

Daily Planet works for you.

Beverly?

Clark Kent, please.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Lois.

No, Clark's still upstate covering the flood. What's buzzing?

Those robberies last night.

Yeah, what about?

We made telecasts in front of every store that was robbed.

What's the connection?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

There's some gadget working from a secret compartment in the truck.

Hey, maybe you've got something.

I'll tell Clark as soon as he gets back.

Be sure you do.

Bye.

A despaired fire will reach explosives stored in the plant.

All units will clear people from country adjoining.

Where's the place that's on fire?

About ten miles east of here. Get in. I'll give you a lift.

No, thanks. I have a car.

I still wish I'd have been there. You get all the breaks.

Oh, forget it. You heard from Lois? Yeah, she left a message for you. She

was excited because every store or TV outfit worked in front of was robbed the

following night.

That's more than a coincidence.

It looks more and more like the Atom Man's work.

It looked okay on the street. Had to look at the transmitter.

The chief engineer reports high-frequency interference for about 90

seconds. You can read the report for yourself.

I can't imagine what it was. Don't worry about it.

What's the lineup for tomorrow?

Here you are.

Well, if there's nothing else, I'll run along.

That lame girl lifted a pad from your desk and saw it from the elevator. There

was nothing on the pad.

Well, I guess it's all right, then.

No. No, we must recover it. I was listing the combinations of tonight's

jobs. If I know that lame girl, she'll try to read the pencil impressions.

Go after her.

Where's the lame girl? The one down the street.

You go that way.

Where's the girl? She ducked into the planet building and got away.

Excel to headquarters.

Excel to headquarters.

Come in, Excel.

Send the thermal truck to the Daily Planet.

Destroy the building.

Right.

The fire escape was a

lifesaver. I left him dangling like the man on a flying trapeze.

What do you suppose is on that pad?

I don't know what it is, but they sure didn't want me to have it. Let me see

it.

Maybe the photographic department can do something to bring out those faint

impressions.

Tell your story to the chief. Maybe that'll convince him that Luthor isn't

so law-abiding.

I knew about the secret compartment, so I kept watch.

Earl.

How?

It's red hot.

Aim the thermal gun at him.

He's full in. Let him have it.

Who is trapped in this truck?

Is this some new and frightful weapon of Luthor's? See the thrilling answers in

Atom Man's Flying Saucer. Chapter 13 of Atom Man vs.

Superman.
