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.

Yes, it's Superman.

Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities

far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers.

Bend steel in his bare hands.

And who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great

metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice,

and the American way.

And now, another exciting episode in The Adventures of Superman.

That woman's been hurt. She's bleeding. So what?

He got tough and had a clipper.

Booth paper reporter.

Police card.

It ain't too much. Where's the fault?

There's none in here. The boot nicks to the first cabin. Put that rod away.

Lock him up in one of the cabins. I'm going to call the boss.

Yeah, she's a newspaper reporter.

Metropolis Daily Planet.

Lane. Lois Lane.

We couldn't help it. She drove in before... Yeah, I know.

Yeah, sure.

What do you want to do that for, boss? Sully and me can... Okay, if that's the

way you want it.

Right?

What'd he say?

You locked the dames up? Yeah, second cabin. What'd the boss say? He's sending

a torpedo out to knock them off. What's the idea? What's the matter with us? We

ain't good enough, I guess.

Who's he sending?

Some rod. He just blew in from Chicago.

A baby-faced something.

A baby-faced Stevens?

Yeah, you know him? I heard about him. Great kid. Always making with the jokes.

And you know what? What? When he does a job, he takes all the slugs out of the

gun except one.

Never misses.

All I say is he better get here fast. This place is hot and wide open.

Anybody's liable to pull in like a newspaper dame.

Wait a minute.

You get her car out of sight. I'll fix it so nobody pulls it.

They were talking down to the last captain.

The two of them and Frank, my husband.

I heard a shot and ran out.

I saw Solly. That's the big one dragging Frank down into the gully behind the

cabin.

Then the other one, the one they call Mitch, grabbed me and took me back into

the office.

And he hit me in the face.

Everything went black.

Mrs. King, what's behind all this?

I can't help you unless you tell me everything.

How can you help me?

Frank's dead.

killed him.

I don't care what happens to him.

Shh.

You mustn't talk like that.

What's the difference?

The difference is we've got to get out of this.

Now, please try to pull yourself together.

That's better.

Now, how did all this start? Tell me what happened.

They were using this place as a hideout for criminals.

We're only 20 miles from the Canadian border.

They'd keep him here during the daytime, and at night they'd sneak him over the

line into Canada.

We didn't know what they were doing until tonight.

Take it slowly.

When my husband found out, he tried to call the police, and they killed him.

One of them standing outside the office. If I could only get to a phone.

Well, there's a booth for the first cabin, but they'll see you.

Not if I go out the back window.

There's a deep gully there.

Be careful.

I will.

Hello, operator. I want the police. Hurry, please.

Operator, this is an emergency. Please hurry.

I'm sorry, but the sheriff's office doesn't answer.

I'll keep trying.

Thank you.

Hello, operator.

Operator? Never mind that call.

Get me the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Metropolis 60500 and reverse the charges.

Hurry, please.

Hello, Oscar.

Yeah, come on in.

Hello, Jim. Come on in.

How'd you know it was me?

Don't you know that I have X-ray vision?

Oh, sure. Just like Superman.

That's right.

What's on your mind besides the Chicago White Sox?

You guessed it.

You playing tonight? Yeah.

Okay, you got a date. Hot dog.

Too bad Miss Lane's on vacation. She wanted to see the Sox play, too.

Uh-huh. She get away in time?

In this business? She didn't get going till after three.

No, thanks. She should have waited till morning.

That's what I told her. She said nothing doing. The chief might get an idea

overnight.

Kent speaking.

Who? Oh, yes, Inspector.

What?

Oh, they did.

All right, I'll be right over.

Where are you going?

Police headquarters.

They've got a lead on that Ellsworth jewel robbery.

I'll see you later.

Hey, but what about the ball game? Don't worry. What time is it now? It's ten

minutes after six. I'll meet you back here at 8.30.

Okay.

Croy Kent's office. Jim Olsen speaking.

Jim, this is Lois. I thought I'd never get through to you.

Oh, hi, Miss Lane.

Jim, put Clark on.

We'll see if you can catch him, Jim. Hurry, please. I'm in trouble. Hold on.

Hello? Hello?

Clark?

No, I couldn't catch him, Miss Lane. Jim, listen to me.

Find Clark or the chief. Tell him I'm at the Restwell tourist cabins.

No, no, Restwell.

R-E-S-T.

It's on Highway 15.

It's in the Blue Hills. I'm in trouble, Jim. And if...

Miss Lane?

Hello?

Hello?

Operator, I was just talking to someone and I was disconnected.

No, I don't know the number.

Wait a minute. The call came from the... the Restwell tourist cabins.

No, I don't want information.

There isn't time for that. Look, give me police headquarters.

Hello? Inspector Henderson's office.

He's what?

He can't be out.

Look, this is Jim Olsen from the Daily Planet.

Mr. Kent left here just a few minutes ago to see Inspector Henderson.

I've got to talk to him right away.

No, no.

Clark Kent.

Yes, that's right.

Would you look and see if he's there?

Yeah, I'll hold on.

Are you sure?

No, that won't do any good. I've got to talk to him right away.

Okay, well, thanks.

Miss Bacharach, Louis Lane's in trouble, and I can't get a hold of Mr. Kent, and

she's in Boston, so I'm going up there myself.

Calm down.

I can't calm down. It's an emergency.

Look. Is the chief's car in the parking lot?

Why, yes, I believe so. Okay, I'm going to take it.

Give this note to Mr. Kent.

You'll have a nervous breakdown one of these days.

Make sure he gets this when he comes in.

I'm going out to supper. Okay. I'll leave it on his desk.

Nail up the back window? Yeah. I don't get this, Mitch.

We was good enough to knock off her husband. We tried to spill to the cops.

But we ain't good enough to cash in a couple of dames.

How's that figure?

I don't know.

But I don't like waiting around.

If that baby face don't show up soon, we'll do the job and scram.

That big gorilla hurt me.

I thought he was killing you the way you screamed.

I don't know why they don't kill both of us.

Please, don't say things like that.

You'd think with all those cars going by, one of them would stop.

I can't understand it. We always fill up on Friday nights.

Get the rope out of the car and tie those dames up.

What for?

If he ain't here in five minutes, I'm gonna let him have it. The boss will

blow his top.

Let him blow.

How do I know that reporter dame didn't tip off the cops over the phone?

Ah, she didn't have no chance. I grabbed her too soon. I know, but I'm playing it

safe. In five minutes, we're knocking him off and leaving. Tie him up.

Well, it isn't there now.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kent. Did you read it? Well, I glanced at it. Do you remember

what was in it?

Well, frankly, I didn't pay much attention.

That silly Olsen boy. Never mind about Jim. What was in that note?

You don't have to shout at me, Mr. Kent.

There's something important missing from my office. Well, don't steal nothing. Of

course you didn't. This was an important note. It must have fallen in my

wastebasket. Where's the waste paper from my office?

28th floor? No. That's right.

There.

Where is 28th? It's not there. No.

No, here it is.

You spurned the paper from that one.

Uh-oh.

I tied him up.

Okay. Go let him have it.

There's a well in the name, Mr. Quinn.

Well. W-E-L-L. Is that right?

Sleep well.

Or deep well. Or something like that. Sleep well or deep well or something

like that.

I'll check through our files, Mr. Kent, and call you back.

You're very fortunate I happen to be working late tonight.

Thank you, Mr. Quinn.

I'll wait here in my office. Very well.

You got the key?

Yeah.

Come on, come on.

Here. How you got them tied?

Back to back.

Okay.

Babyface Stevens.

Come on.

Hiya, Babyface.

Could you fellas tell me where I could find Miss Lane? I think she's in

trouble. You see what I mean, Mitch? Always gagging.

Do you know what cabin she's in?

They're number two, both of them.

Here's the key.

Oh, gee, thanks.

Wait a minute.

You packing a rod?

Huh?

No rod, huh?

How you figure to handle this?

I don't know what you mean. Let's kill the gags.

The boss likes his jobs done clean.

No mess and no fingerprints.

I don't know what he's paying you to knock off these two dames, but let's get

it done fast and clean, huh?

Sully, give me a ride.

Sure.

Hey!

You don't need more than one slug piece knockoff, right?

Here, baby face. All set. Two slugs.

We'll be watching you.

Go ahead.

I'm wondering whether you'd heard from that man yet. Not yet.

Kemp speaking.

Who? Mr. Quinn.

I've located three tourist camps that have the word well in them.

Got a pencil?

Right. Here they are.

The Sleep Well tourist camp on Route 33, Willow Falls.

That's right.

Then there's the Wishing Well cabins on Route 12, near Three Rivers.

Wishing Well cabins, Route 12, Three Rivers.

What? You have another one? All right.

Restwell Tourist Cabins, Route 15, Blue Hills.

Thank you, Mr. Quinn.

Do you want me to call the police?

No. I'll handle it, Miss Blackrock.

Thank you.

He practically pushed me out.

Jim, how did you get in here?

Shh, not so loud.

They think I'm somebody else, a guy named Babyface. They gave me this gun

and sent me in here to kill you. Good heavens.

Here, let me cut you loose.

Did you come alone?

Couldn't locate Mr. Kent and the chiefs in Boston.

Jim, this is Mrs. King.

Hello.

Come on, Stevens, get it over with.

Golly, what are we going to do?

Make a run for my car. If they try to stop us, shoot them. What's taking you

so long?

Babyface! Answer him!

Okay, okay, wait a minute.

There's only two bullets in this thing. I never shot one of these guns before in

my life.

What am I going to do?

I don't know, but we've got to do something.

Think, Miss Lane, think hard.

I'm looking for a young lady named Lois Lane. Is she here?

Going in there.

Who's that?

I don't know. Cops?

It's only one guy.

Get rid of him.

If it's Clark in that car, I just hope he had enough sense to bring someone

with him.

Jim, get ready to shoot that gunner.

He's coming this way with that gorilla.

It isn't Clark.

Should I shoot? No, wait.

Hey, Mitch.

This guy says he's Babyface Stevens.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Are they in there?

Wait a minute, bud.

There's another guy in there says he's Babyface Stevens.

How do I know you're the right guy?

Here's how.

Well, you want my calling card now? No, no.

You're a baby face, all right.

Now that we got that settled, you can get up.

That guy in there, he's got Sully's gun. It's got two slugs in it. Leave it to

me.

We're coming in after you.

You better not or I'll blow your head off.

Here we come.

I guess I'll shoot him.

Now he's got one bullet left.

Do you run this place?

I said, do you run this place?

Yeah. I'm looking for a young lady named Lois Lane. Is she here?

No. Has she been here?

No. Thanks.

Shoot, Jim, shoot!

It's empty!

Superman, you're wonderful. How did you know we were in trouble?

A little bird told me.

Bet you the little bird's name was Clark Kent.

Could be.
