Clark, Lois, and Jimmy walk into a trap when they go to have the magic coin

analyzed. They overpower Luthor's men. And while Clark pursues one who

escaped... I wonder how this thing

opens up.

Search me.

Again, Superman makes use of his X-ray vision.

What went on? Are you hurt?

Did you see Superman?

Oh, no. I was having my own troubles.

Superman? Was he here? Who do you think dragged us out of that furnace?

Uh-oh. The professor.

Who are you and what are you doing here?

Clark Kent, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane. All of the Daily Planet.

Are you responsible for this barbarous assault on my laboratory?

Oh, no, Professor.

We came here to have a coin analyzed.

We believe it contains a rare element.

Apparently those hoodlums knew about it and they beat us here. This is a cheap

newspaper trick to manufacture a story.

I'll not be a party to it.

You're mistaken, sir. I'll thank you to get your hats and get out of here before

I turn you over to the police along with those two other thugs.

We'd better go.

Car 1 to headquarters.

Come in, Car 1.

Mission to Professor Stone is failed.

Did not recover coin.

Two men taken by police. That is all.

I can't understand how they slipped up unless... Unless Superman interfered? Is

that what you were about to say?

Well, no. There's no need to tread lightly upon my feelings.

I'm the first one to admit that Superman is my archenemy.

And that he alone stands between me and my goal. But I shall find a way to deal

with him.

Perhaps a coin like this will be his undoing.

Car 2 calling headquarters.

Car 2 calling headquarters.

Come in, Car 2.

Job completed.

Lawson ready to come in.

Stand by, Lawson.

You

were

successful, Lawson? Yes, thanks to your gadget.

Well, where is it?

Yeah, sure.

Foster.

Blow them all out and get your wish.

I didn't think you were going to make it.

Hey, let me get a picture of you cutting the cake. Come on over here, Lord. Stand

right here.

Hold this in the right hand.

Just be ready to cut it.

Hold it.

Now smile pretty.

That's perfect.

I've got to get back to work.

I'll bring a piece of cake.

Oh, you held out on me, eh?

No. No, I forgot it.

Place him under the main arc.

I once rescued you from jail.

Now I'm sentencing you to the empty doom.

The vapor atoms that form you will be sent into space, where they'll roam

forever like a lost spirit.

No, no. Give me another chance.

What was I discussing before this rude interruption?

Superman. Oh, yes.

I shall have to find a way of disposing of that meddler.

Seal the channel.

May I remind this gay, festive crowd that we have an addition to get on the

street?

Jimmy, was there a card with this gift?

I don't know.

I see you received my birthday gift.

Who are you?

The Adam man?

A better question would be, where are you?

I'll bite. What's the answer?

A sharp tongue will avail you nothing.

On the contrary, you'd be wiser to show concern for your present predicament.

Okay, I'm worried. What's next?

Superman must be told you are here.

I have no way of contacting Superman, even if I wanted to.

But I have.

My radio interceptor fades out regular programs and superimposes my broadcast

over all wavelengths.

How true.

I have prepared a message.

You will read it over this microphone.

It would be most unpleasant for you if you refused.

I tell you, she vanished into thin air and I have witnesses to prove it.

You're the chief of police. It's your business to find her.

Turn on the radio. Lois is on the air. I'll call you back.

And I urge the police and Superman not to attempt my rescue or harm will come

to me.

I am being well treated by my charming captor, the Atom Man.

On second thought, I don't care what happens to me. Go after him, Superman,

and you can print that, Perry White.

That girl's got spunk.

Press room?

Yes, Chief.

Stop the press.

Tear down the front page.

Here's your new headline.

Planet reporter held prisoner by atom man.

Get me the chief of police.

Ray White speaking.

I have a plan to locate the atom man.

When I do, Miss Lane will be returned safely.

And while the tests are not final, the curator of the museum believes that the

meteor came from the lost planet Krypton.

Now, there's a story.

Hop to your typewriter and we'll feature it in a special edition.

Okay, Chief.

This is good news.

You two go to the museum. Get me a fragment of that meteor.

What do you want with that clinker? That clinker, as you call it, is the one

thing that Superman is afraid of.

In the presence of Kryptonite, he's as helpless as a child. Now do as I say.

This kryptonite is just what I need for my plan.

Take the girl to the car.

We're leaving for Cave Mountain.

I thought you were going to bring Superman here.

I don't dare risk it.

Make it a two-page spread.

Harry White, please.

White speaking.

I just saw Lois Lane in the vicinity of Cave Mountain.

What's that you said?

I just saw Lois Lane in the vicinity of Cave Mountain. Who is this?

Naturally.

He said Lois is at Cave Mountain.

Yes, but how did you know? Don't be surprised. I have unusual hearing.

What do we do now?

Oblige the atom man by falling into his trap.

Superman's coming.

I'm all ready.

I've been expecting you.

Do not strain your vision.

You can see nothing through this red-lined helmet.

In fact, you have lost all your superhuman powers.

Kryptonite.

True, I can't see through your helmet, but I soon will.

I planted that phony meteor and a news story, so you'd show your hand.

If you take another step, you will intercept a photoelectric beam, which

will eliminate Miss Lane for all time.

You're bluffing.

I am not. There is nothing faster than the beam.

Not even Superman.

Call us bluff, Superman.

If I do what you want, will you return Miss Lane safely to Metropolis?

Yes.

Put him under the main arch.

With Superman gone into the empty doom, who will save Lois? What can Jimmy hope

to accomplish alone?

Superman, at this theater next week.
