Why have I been brought back here? You'll soon find out, Doctor. Dr.

Graham, your attempt to escape was a complete failure.

Obviously, then, I must try again.

I doubt whether you'll get another chance.

From now on, you'll be confined in this cave.

Do you realize that the authorities aided by Superman are searching for me?

Not even Superman can find you here.

His X-ray vision can't penetrate the lead walls of this mountain.

So? You have no other choice but to obey me.

And develop the reducer ray to suit my purposes.

Who built this duplicate of my invention?

I did, Doctor.

But it needs the finishing touch.

Mechanical secrets that only you know.

You'll never learn them from me.

You might change your mind.

Driller, take him below and see if you can persuade him.

All right.

Come along.

Fine staff I have. You get yourselves in all kinds of trouble. But I can't print

that. You mean the public isn't interested in what happens to reporters?

Nobody is except me.

I want to keep you all alive so I can find out where Dr. Graham is.

Well, that's easy. He's a prisoner of the Spider Lady. Now, if you'll just

tell me where, I'll know everything.

Well, wherever it is, you can be sure Graham won't get another chance to

communicate with us.

Oh, sooner or later, the Spider Lady will make a move that'll give her away,

and we've just got to be alert for it.

Clark, you've solved the whole thing for us.

Driller tells me you've decided to cooperate with us, Doctor.

Anything I do is under protest. Never mind the speeches. Are you ready to

start work?

Very well.

Before I do, I need a supply of a certain chemical called monochromide.

Monochromide? So, that's one of the secret materials.

I've heard of it. It's quite rare.

Where can it be obtained?

Any chemical engineer can process it for you.

I'll write it down and give you the formula if you wish.

Driller, send some of the men to get it for us.

Hackett copied this so it won't be in his handwriting.

All right, Mr. Cameron.

I'll have that shipment over at nine in the morning.

Come in.

Mr. Larkin? Yes?

Can you supply us with this material?

Monochromite.

That's a new metallurgical compound.

I'll have to check my supply index.

It will take at least two hours to produce the minimum amount.

Where do you want it delivered?

We'll come back and get it.

Perry White, please.

It's important.

Hello.

Who?

Fred Larkin.

How are you, Fred?

What? That's the special material that Graham is using.

Just which of the authorities should I notify?

I'll send a man down. I'll tell you what to do. Hold everything till he gets

there.

to 220 Lexington Road. There's a man there who has a tip that may lead to

Graham. Get the story, phone it in, follow any leads.

Then we'll contact the authorities.

All right.

Hello? Oh, hello, Sergeant.

Say, can I call you back?

Don't I work here anymore?

Sure, sure. What's the trouble?

Why should Clark have that Graham story exclusively?

Maybe I could uncover a different angle. Stop telling me. You can go along if you

want. Thanks, Chief.

Yes, yes, but I... No, I... No, I...

No, I believe you have that wrong, Sergeant. No, that isn't... But listen.

I know.

I know.

Yes. No.

No.

But I tell you, Sergeant, I didn't write that story.

Jimmy, will you wait for me downstairs?

Gloria, will you report that my car has been stolen? You know the license

number. But I... Well, I tell you, I didn't write the article.

No. That's right.

Hey, where's your car?

Oh, we're taking the Planet Coupe. Meet you at the corner. Okay.

That cop is stopping Clark.

I had an idea that would happen.

You pulled some trick on him, didn't you?

Who, me?

Why, Jimmy.

This is a stolen car. That's all I know.

But I tell you, I'm a reporter on the Daily Planet.

You'll have to tell it to the Justice of the Peace. Let's go.

Come in.

We're from the Daily Planet.

Mr. Lois Lane?

Yes, and this is Jimmy Olsen. Mr. Olsen, would you be seated, Miss Lane? Thank

you.

Mr. White sent us to get the story from you.

Just as I told him over the phone, two suspicious characters came here asking

for monochromite.

That is the restricted material Dr. Graham is using in his reducer ray

machine. Where are these men now?

They should be back here at 3 o'clock.

3 o'clock?

I'm supposed to notify the proper authorities.

White said he was sending you here to advise me.

That's right.

The first thing we want to do is get a line on these men and find out where

they're from.

Why? Because whoever employs these men is holding Graham a prisoner.

If we handle this right, we can learn where they're holding him.

Oh. What do you want me to do?

We've got an idea.

If you'll check with Perry White at the Daily Planet, he'll verify my story.

The judge will take care of that.

He's out to lunch right now.

When will he be back?

Oh pretty cool.

He doesn't take more than a couple hours he

Is

it

mister

This is swell.

When they come, I'll be in this case.

Get them to sign a receipt if you can.

Right.

Jimmy, you're taking an awful chance. Why can't you and I follow them in the

car? Because we'd have to keep too far back to prevent them from noticing us.

And they might give us a slip.

But once I'm in this case on their truck, I can watch just what route they

take.

Here they come now.

Where can I hide?

In that closet.

Come in.

Does this one stop for us?

That's it. Good.

Now, if you'll just sign this, please.

Well, I'm not starting anything.

But it's necessary. I can't let this go.

Wait a minute.

It's that newspaper gal.

What are you doing here, sister?

Well, nothing.

As a matter of fact, I just got here. Yeah?

Well, as a matter of fact, you can just stay here. Yes.

All right, take it away.

Oh, say, I'd better get out of here.

Your date with the judge comes up first.

Now, just relax.

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

You can't afford to miss Blast in the Depths, Chapter 12 of Superman, at this

theater next week.
