To save Lois, Superman allows himself to be captured by Atom Man and placed under

the main arc. He vanishes, and now Atom Man treacherously plans to dispose of

Lois.

Superman.

I thought they had a man that sent you into the empty doom.

His machine didn't affect me.

My atomic structure is different from that of human beings.

But you disappeared under the rays of the main arc.

Well, not really.

I just moved so rapidly I became invisible to the naked eye.

I understand.

At least I think I do.

What about Jimmy?

I saw the police arriving as I flew here.

Let's drive back that way.

You're both safe. I can't understand it. I'll tell you about it later. Did the

police capture the atom man? No.

Well, did the police search the cave?

Yes, but all we found was bare rock walls.

He's too clever to be caught by ordinary methods.

We'll have to use a special plan to lure him into the open.

When you get back to the office, have Perry White call a conference with the

chief of police this afternoon.

Will you be there?

Yes.

Gee. I wish I could fly like that. You better learn to drive first.

See if you can get us back to the planet without nicking a fender.

And you think the main arc failed to affect you because it lacked plutonium?

Yes.

That's why the atom man would go to any length to get it.

Then it's up to us to see that he doesn't.

But suppose we made him believe that he could obtain it.

He'd send one of his key men after it.

You talk like you had a scheme for baiting a trap.

You're right, Chief, I have.

It'll be necessary to plant a story in your newspaper.

The Daily Planet will give you full cooperation.

Just tell me what you want.

Have you seen this news?

Yes. Foster brought a paper here.

That should make it easy for you to get the plutonium. Too easy.

Sounds like a trap.

Then you won't pay any attention to it. On the contrary, I'll spring it for my

own purposes.

Foster, you're going to be on that train.

You mean I'll walk into it and get caught?

Don't worry. I'll get you out of any trouble, just as I always have.

Wait outside for me.

they catch him and make him talk.

He'll only know what I want him to tell. It's part of my plan.

Those Daily Planet people aren't as smart as they think they are. This

should be a big story, and we're going to scoop the timeline.

Clark, you and Lois ride in the train.

Jimmy, you keep close to the railroad in a Planet radio car.

Where will the fake plutonium be? In a valise handcuffed to the wrist of a

detective. Chief, I can handle this yarn alone. I don't need Clark.

I'll probably get the story while you're looking out the window. Listen, you two.

I want teamwork on this assignment.

And don't take your eyes off that detective.

Now, come on. Get going.

Why don't you take a nap?

Because I'm keeping one eye on the detective and the other one on you.

Yes,

sir.

What'll it be? What have you got?

Well, sir, I've got...

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

If anything should happen, we could certainly use Superman's help.

You've seen something?

Uh, no.

I think I'll get a drink of water.

So will I. Can't lose me that easily.

One of these?

Ladies first.

I asked for

a drink, not a shower.

Give me the key to the fan cup.

Where's Superman?

Right.

This man tried to steal a plutonium on the train. Then our trap worked.

Yes, call the chief of police. We'll question the prisoner.

Are you going to be in on this?

You bet.

I'll be back.

I tell you, I was operating on my own. I've got no boss.

How did you know that plutonium was in the police?

I didn't. I thought it was money.

The man is obviously lying.

I'll send a headquarters for a lie detector.

We don't need a lie detector, chief.

Let me try something.

Go ahead.

Let's have some fresh air.

If you won't play ball with me, I'll play ball with you.

All right, let's have it.

My boss suspected the plutonium shipment was a trap.

What then?

Well, what he's really after is a package in the check room at Central

Station. What package?

I don't know.

Who's your boss?

Speak up. Who's your boss?

Or do you want to play ball again? I don't dare tell you that.

Time to bring Foster here.

You want some more Superman treatment?

He's gone.

Disappeared. That's the work of the atom man.

I told you I'd save you.

Now we'll see if Superman nibbles at our bait at the Central Station.

We've lost our prisoner and our newspaper scoop.

But we found out about that package at Central Station.

There may be millions of those packages there. I doubt whether we can legally

open and search them.

I'll find a way.

Where's Clark Kent?

He said he'd be here later.

You two get down to Central Station.

Now, how are we going to guess which box is which?

My X-ray vision will do that.

Nothing here but clothes and personal belongings.

How about that box over there? That's the only one that I can look through.

Nothing there but ordinary nails.

A nail like this is just another false lead. Let's get out of here.

It's heavy. What's in it? Gold? Something more valuable.

Nails. Nails?

Yeah, I'll show you.

Luthor figured that Superman would turn his X-ray vision on these nails.

Let me shine.

Superman's X-rays were powerful enough to turn the alloy in these nails into

plutonium.

There are two of the Adam Man's outfits.

What do we do?

You telephone the chief and get instructions.

I'll go ahead and try to stall them. Okay.

Hey, Vermitha. Are you kidding?

How do you do, gentlemen? I'm the inquiring reporter.

The question for today is, what is the kindest thing you ever did?

The kindest thing I ever did?

Not bumping you off, Miss Lois Lane.

Come on, get in the car.

Hello, Chief?

Listen, we're at Central Station.

Okay, Jimmy.

Adam Mann's outfit outside the station.

Very well. Now listen.

More disappearing reporters at...

We

got to ditch her.

Yeah.

There's a good spot. They're all born back there.

Thank you.

What is in this safe that Superman is so anxious to open?

Has Superman finally caught up with the Atom Gang?

See what happens in Atom Man's Challenge, Chapter 6 of Atom Man vs.

Superman, at this theater next week.
