Clark and Lois fly the planet plane in an effort to locate Luthor's secret

hideout. Luthor discovers them as they come dangerously close and...

Send out the saucer.

What's that coming towards us?

I don't know.

It's one of those flying saucers.

How'd we get here?

Why, Superman flew us out of the plane before it crashed.

He saved us again.

Isn't he wonderful?

I don't know what I'd do without him.

Sometimes I think you're jealous of him.

I saw your plane crash.

That plane smashed into you deliberately.

That wasn't a plane. That was a flying saucer.

Then that must have been sent out by the Atom Man.

Yeah.

From his hideout nearby in a hill here somewhere.

Our cars are closed in on all sides. They'll locate them pretty soon. I hope

so. Can you take us back to the airport?

Sure. Hop in.

Car 57 calling Control One.

All cars are closing in through Culver Hills in a circle.

Every road is blocked.

We're getting close.

Go speed up the work on the spaceship.

I'll stand by to broadcast over the police wavelength.

Harry, it's only a matter of hours until my men locate Luthor and capture him.

What a story we're going to roll off the presses.

Hello?

Oh, it's for you, Chief.

Chief of Police talking.

What's that?

All right.

My office says that Luthor is about to send a message over the police

wavelength. Jimmy, turn on the radio.

Attention, chief of police.

This is Luthor speaking.

Unless you give up trying to find me, I will bring disaster to the city of

Metropolis. You have 15 minutes in which to do as I say.

After that, you must take the consequences.

I won't call off the search.

Well, we have 15 minutes to see if Luthor means what he says.

The search is still going on. The police cars are getting closer.

Very well. If they ask for trouble, they're going to get it.

Turn on the sonic vibrator.

We'll see how they like an earthquake in Metropolis.

We'll give them a chance to think that over.

Yes?

I see.

All right, Lois.

Come back to the office and write your story.

She says not much damage was done, but the population's in a panic.

They're demanding that you make a deal with Luthor.

I won't do it.

This is Luthor speaking.

You have had a taste of what I can do.

I could have destroyed Metropolis completely.

But for the time being, I have spared it.

My next attack will be on the planet building, which will crumble to the

ground.

You have only a few minutes to call off the search.

What can he do to this building? I'd better take a look around outside.

Superman, what's going on?

Luthor is trying to destroy the building by directing vibrations at this

entrance.

I can block those vibrations at this point, but not if he starts shifting the

beam rapidly.

What can we do?

Tell White to urge the police to call off the search for Luthor until we can

plan a strategy.

And the men work faster on the spaceship?

I've been working them hard. It's almost completed.

You win, Luthor. The police radio says the search has been called off.

I knew I could dominate them.

Keep the men at work until the spaceship is ready to take off.

Then, from the ionosphere, we shall beat our enemies into submission.

His plans are getting wilder and wilder.

He's the greatest scientist in the world.

And we're in this with him to the end.

Yeah Now that the search is off what do we do wait for Luthor to hurl more

destruction at us He's probably making plans to move to a new hiding place.

That's possible I'll make one more attempt to penetrate his present

headquarters. Good luck Superman

go up in the Culver Hills. Why go up there?

We'll be on hand in case Superman locates Luthor. Sure, and if he doesn't,

Luthor will locate us. We can't get a big story sitting at our desks. Come on.

Anything interesting on the viewer screen?

Yes. Superman.

around here again.

He can't see through these lead walls, even with these X-ray eyes.

Still, I don't like the idea of having him so close.

Calling headquarters.

Guard station one calling headquarters.

Number one calling headquarters.

This is headquarters.

What is it? The Daily Planet car's approaching.

Two reporters in it.

Want me to take care of them?

No. Let them through to where Carl and Foster are stationed.

All right.

Okay. The car's passing my station now.

Excel to Station 3.

Excel to Station 3.

I'm in Number 3.

This is Station 3. Two Daily Planet reporters are approaching in a car.

We'll stop them. Do you want them brought to headquarters?

No. Superman is flying overhead. He'll see you capture them. Then what'll we

do? Follow these orders.

Have the atomic projectile weapon ready. If Superman interferes, blast him and

the reporters out of existence.

We'll get set.

Get out of the car.

You better let us go. Here comes Superman.

Station 3 to XL.

Station 3 to XL.

This is XL.

I'm in Station 3.

Superman threw the atomic projector back at us, and we sealed in a cave.

Don't worry. I'll get you out.

I'm going to deliver my ultimatum to Metropolis.

Attention, Metropolis police.

Attention, Metropolis police.

This is Luthor.

Your search for me has not been abandoned.

Therefore, I'm going to destroy Metropolis by means of a giant rocket

which will rise from its hiding place and travel to your city.

Get me the chief police.

My chief, you heard Luthor's broadcast?

Well, what are we going to do?

We can't just sit here and be wiped out.

Turn on the car radio. We'll report to the office.

Did you find the secret headquarters?

No. My vision won't penetrate these lead-lined hills. Attention, all

citizens.

Luthor has threatened to blast the city with a giant rocket.

Police are superintending evacuation of the business district.

People are warned to stay in their homes and not create traffic jams and panic.

Bulletins will be issued from time to time.

Do you think Luther really means it? I'm sure he does.

I must find that rocket.

Didn't you see it when you were flying overhead?

No.

It's not in this vicinity.

But I'm going to search every foot of ground in this countryside.

I hope he finds it in time to save Metropolis.

Let's get back to the office.

What for? To be hit by that rocket?

We'll write the story, even if it's our last one.

I'd rather read about it.

I'm standing by to guide the rocket into Metropolis.

How soon will it be ready?

In ten seconds.

Here it comes.

Get a picture of it.

Here, you take it.

Here, come back here, you fool.

Is Luthor to make an escape after all? Will Lois be taken on his mad flight

into space?

Atom Man vs.
