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.

When Clark Kent and Lois Lane...

Star reporters for the Metropolis Daily Planet were assigned to write a story on

the deepest oil well ever drilled.

They little realized what was going to happen.

In the darkness of the night, two strange furry creatures, half human,

half animal, crawled out of the abandoned well shaft.

Although they seemingly meant no harm, everything they touched, some oranges, a

flower, a child's rubber ball, glowed with an eerie light.

Despite Superman's warning that these fantastic visitors from the center of

the Earth might be radioactive and therefore deadly, a mob of men and dogs

led by Luke Benson hunted them down and trapped them on the high parapet of the

dam above the reservoir.

There they are!

You're not going to shoot those little creatures.

In the first place, they haven't done you any harm. In the second place, they

may be radioactive.

If they fall in the reservoir, they may contaminate the water supply.

Save your time in ammunition, Benson.

Weber, quick!

get you to a hospital.

The dog's acting mighty funny, Luke.

Don't see that they will hold the scent.

They'll hold it once they get it.

Come on.

this hat.

You heard me. Leash the dogs.

Look, all we got to do is pry the door loose. The dogs will finish them off.

I ain't aiming to lose my hounds.

Get some dry sagebrush.

Now go on and get moving.

I get it.

This old shed will catch like tinder.

Roast the critter alive.

Keep an eye on that window, Eddie.

I think I seen it at the window.

What do you figure that shiny stuff was back there on the ground?

Radium. I got it on him. What?

Reckon that does it.

Did you hear a scream or nothing?

No. Could be it ain't got no feelings. The one you shot sure had feelings. I

never heard nothing scream like that.

All right, let's go. Yeah, look.

Ain't you going to see what it looks like?

Well, that stuff ain't going to cool off hours.

Come on, let's get back to town.

Both wads. Them critters. Yeah, Weber shot one of them off of the dam.

The dogs run the other into a tool shed on the old D&O spur behind the arroyo.

We set the shed afire and burnt it down with him in it.

You ain't got but one, man.

I just told you.

I know what you told me. I still say you ain't got but one. The other one's up at

the hospital.

What are you talking about?

Superman caught him as he fell off the dam.

Took him to the hospital with a bullet in his chest.

Whoever. You and Eddie round up the boys.

What do you figure I'm doing, Luke?

I figure I'm getting that critter and stringing him up.

You ain't stringing nothing up in this town, Luke, unless it's a slab of bacon.

Who's going to stop me? Won't need anybody to stop you because you ain't

even commencing.

Put the bracelets on him, Jim.

Stay where you are.

Put your gun up. I don't want any trouble with you.

You won't get any trouble unless you come looking for it.

I don't think those two can stop Benson and his mob. We better get to the

hospital and warn Kent. Good idea.

That man in the costume.

Superman.

Well, he had no right to bring that.

That monstrosity in here. And you, Dr. Reed, had no right to admit it without

my authorization.

I'm sorry, sir, but... You can't blame Dr. Reed. It was an emergency.

Young man, I'm running this hospital.

Get that thing out of here immediately.

It's been shot. It might even be dying.

You wouldn't treat a dog that way.

This is not a dog hospital.

Well, I'm leaving now, but I'll be back in the morning.

Don't let me find that thing in here or there'll be trouble.

A milk of human kindness. But really...

It isn't human. But how do we know? That's just right. How do we know?

Doctor, would you remove the bullet from his chest?

How can I, Mr. Ken, if it's radioactive?

I don't dare get near it.

Oh.

Wait a minute. The lead screen we use in radiotherapy.

Miss Ronson... Oh, no.

You don't get me in that operating room. I'll need an assistant.

I'll assist.

Come on.

That creature that Weber shot up at the hospital.

Don't worry. We ain't going to leave it there. We aim to get it and string it

up. Now, them two reporters from back east and them oil people will try to

stop us like it's not.

We ain't going to be stopped. This is our town. We don't need no strangers

telling us what to do.

You're on the right, Benton.

If you know what's good for you, Luke, you'll tell him to loose me. Throw him

in a jail, keep him there till we're through.

The rest of you, come on, follow me.

Doctor, you think he'll live?

Unless something develops, complications set in.

You know, Ken, it's amazing.

Its chest structure is exactly like that of a human being.

Same thoracic cavity, same number of ribs, same lung position.

The only external difference seems to be in the hairy covering.

In the large head.

Yes, I'd like to examine that head.

I'm doing some work in brain capacity, and I'll wager that... Clark, where have

you been? And what are you doing in that outfit?

Oh, hello, Lois. This is Dr.

Reed. Miss Lane, how do you do, Miss Lane? Do you know what happened? They

shot one of those little monsters.

Dr. Reed just removed the bullet from his chest. He's in there.

In there?

Mm-hmm. I brought... That is, Superman brought it to the hospital.

Well, then you know about Superman.

If I don't, who should? I've got to check the ward now, Mr. Kent.

I'll keep an eye on it.

Unless I get fired. You won't, I'm sure. Glad to meet you, Miss Lane.

There goes a young man with courage.

Well, I wish I could say the same for you.

You know, Lois, one of these fine days... One of these fine days what?

Never mind.

Come on, I've got to find Cory.

You always do that. Start to say something, then abruptly change your

mind. I do?

What are you afraid of? What are you hiding?

Hiding? Well, you give the impression you're leading a double life.

Really?

Yes, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Well, that's very funny because... What's the matter?

They're running up the street.

Well, who?

Craig and Corrigan.

I don't see anyone.

Just keep looking.

They're coming. Who is? Benson and the mob. The sheriff told Benson that

Superman brought one of the creatures to the hospital. Take it easy. Benson wants

to hang him. Oh, no.

So, it's turning into a real lynch mob.

They're out for blood. Nothing will stop them now.

I wonder.

Clark, where are you going?

I'll be right back.

He's scared to death.

It's pitiful.

Here they come.

I never thought I'd live to see anything like this.

Get her out of the way, Corrigan, before she gets hurt. Mr. Corrigan doesn't have

to get me out of the way.

I can get out of the way by myself if I feel like it.

But I just don't feel like it. Take your hands off me!

Why, you dirty coward!

Get her out of the way!

Yeah, Benson.

Dr. Reed's in charge tonight.

He's left orders that no one's to be admitted.

That's your answer, mister.

It may be an answer to you, it means nothing to me. Yeah, well, we're running

this town. We ought to string you up, too.

Are you all right,

Miss Lane?

You're going to step aside or we have to make trouble.

Put some leg in him, Luke.

Mr. Benson tried that once already.

It didn't work.

Now I'm going to give you one last chance to stop acting like Nazi

stormtroopers. Who are you to tell us what to do? All I'm telling you is that

that little creature in there has as much right to live as you do.

Don't forget, you invaded his world.

You sank a pipe six miles into the ground.

And when he climbed up, you set dogs on him. Shot him.

Get inside and stay away from the front of the building.

Whoever fired that shot came close to killing Miss Lane.

Obviously, none of you can be trusted with guns.

So I'm going to take them away from you.

Thank you.

Get back inside.

What do you want?

Don't be afraid.

No one's going to hurt you.

No one means you any harm.

You wait right there.

Don't be afraid.

Wait.

They want the wounded one.

Well, how do you know? They can't talk, can they? One of them made motions.

That's right.

He pointed to me and held out his arms. I took it to mean they knew I was the

one that caught their little friend when he was shot off the dam. Good heaven.

Well, what was that shiny thing they pointed at you? A weapon of some kind.

Probably a very dangerous one.

I'd better get you a patient before they decide to use it. He shouldn't be moved

this soon. I'm afraid he'll have to be.

If we turn him over to them and don't harm them or frighten them, they'll take

him and go back where they came from and that'll be the end of it.

All right.

Hey, look.

There's three of them in front of the hospital.

Keep everybody back here.

Go now.

No one will harm you.

Go back where you belong.

You saved my life.

That's more than you deserve.

You all right?

I'll live.

I got a hold of a Geiger counter and checked the woman and the little girl.

No reaction.

Kent was right. It was just harmless phosphorescence.

Quick, get back.

drawing the wall in the casing so no one can ever get to them again.

It's almost as if they were saying, you live your life and we'll live ours.
