I'll go and see if White is all right.

Thanks,

Kent, for the lift.

Are you all right, Chief? I think I'll live.

Let's not forget we're still getting on a newspaper.

This is White speaking.

Get set for a special.

I'll have Kent at the city desk with copy as soon as we get it out of a prize

pack.

I've checked on Anton. They're holding him at the city jail in Comunicado.

They'll make him sing.

And it won't be sweet music for the spider lady. So far, he's refused to

break. The next move is the spider lady's. She's bound to make an attempt

to release him. She'll find that impossible.

Anton's too well guarded.

You would have the ray machine ready to operate.

It will be soon.

Very soon.

You know we have to wait for the activator tube.

Here it is.

Yes, this is it.

Now I know the machine will soon be ready.

Now go to work on it. There's been too much delay.

I will. Of course I will. I'm sorry for the delay.

Stop apologizing and go to work.

This is all very fine, but Anton is still in the hands of the law.

That's right, and if he talks and tells them where this cave is, we're finished.

I have a way to handle Anton and the police.

Uh, Driller, why don't you keep an eye on the good doctor?

Julie.

And now I have a plan for you.

This should be good.

Oh, it's better than that. It's superb.

Hackett, the police want to find you very badly.

Oh, that's not a new idea.

No, but this is.

The police are going to find you.

I hate to disappoint you, but I... And when they take you to jail, you'll find

a way to communicate with them.

Oh. I understand now.

Your schemes are not always easy to follow.

But the light has suddenly broken through.

Yes. Once I'm in jail, I'll find a way to get in touch with Anton.

In the mess hall or recreation yard.

And you'll see that he doesn't talk.

You'll assure him he'll escape.

And you'll remind him that he's still our partner and will soon be wealthy

beyond his wildest dreams.

Yes, of course.

But one little detail.

How do I know I won't be left in jail?

Do you think I'd leave you there?

My safety is in your hands, so are all my plans.

I'm happy that you recognize that.

If you even thought I'd try a double cross, you'd nearly have to go to the

police and tell them they could find me here.

And you know, my dear lady, I wouldn't hesitate.

I'm sure of it.

Well, now that we understand each other, I'll go and let the police find me.

Jimmy, look.

What's the meaning of this? Stop acting. You're wanted.

What goes on here?

Hello, McLean. It's Dr. Hackett. He's on the hot list.

Can you identify him? Yes.

Good enough for me.

All right, folks, break it up. Show's over.

it is, home sweet home.

Get in there.

Well, doctor.

Where'd they pick you up? On the street.

What's the matter? You getting careless?

Looks like it.

Did they get anybody else? No.

Be careful what you say.

They didn't put us together for nothing.

If they think I'm going to take their rapper, then they're crazy.

What's the matter? The yellow's starting to show? What do you mean, yellow? I'm

just starting to get smart.

Don't get too smart.

They can't afford to leave us here.

You got any ideas? Maybe.

Such as what?

That's all I can say now.

But if we get out of here and get separated, meet me at the dog's eye.

The dog's eye?

Yeah. You know where it is, don't you?

Sure, I know where it is.

Great idea of yours.

Persuading the cops to put Hackett in with N.

And then what? We've been here for hours.

We may be here a lot of... hours.

What did you just pick up? Nothing. He put it in his pocket. Come on, let me

see it.

It's nothing. You got me wrong.

Get it, Lois.

It's just a cigarette butt.

Yeah, but a new brand.

Look at this.

A message in code.

That ought to be worth at least ten years for you.

Oh, no, no, no.

I don't know anything about it. A man stops me and he says if I want to make

five bucks. Sure I do. He says to come here, pick up the cigarette, and take it

to a certain address.

What address?

What address?

1600 North Bulbert. I'm to give a fellow that's there a special brand.

He says, okay.

I give that cigarette to him and scram.

That's all I know.

I think he's telling the truth, Jimmy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Beat it.

But if you ever go near North Boulevard, I'll see that you do land in jail.

I'll finish, mister. You can take it from me.

Well, we can't decipher this thing in a hurry. How about turning it in?

We'd lose time.

We've got to figure out what it says.

I think I have a fast way of doing it.

I'll deliver this and then stick with it. I'll go with you.

No, you stay here.

White wants one of us to cover the jail.

You better get back here in a hurry or you'll hear from me.

I'll be back.

I'm looking for a job. No jobs here.

I thought I'd try.

Have a cigarette?

No, thanks.

This is a special brand.

be that you've been paid off.

Come on.

You don't have to shove.

Come on.

Now scram.

Here's the message.

Third tier, cell on the southeast corner.

Good. I'll contact the spider lady.

Come in, 2XE.

Come in, 2XE.

This is 2XE.

Message received.

Our two friends are together.

Do you have the location?

Third tier, cell in the southeast corner.

Very good.

We can settle with both of them at once. They've outlived their usefulness.

Report back here at once.

Over. Right.

Oh, so it's you again, huh?

You've been in my hair long enough.

You and your newspaper pals.

Yeah, they're right on my trail. They won't like what they find.

I'm going to pay this kid back what I owe him.

Tie him up.

Watch out, the pilot isn't bled.

Yeah, I know.

If anyone opens this door, it'll throw a spark in a room filled with gas.

They'll both go out with a bang.

Let's get out of here before we get blown up.

Yeah, we'll use the window.

Is it ready to operate?

The machine is not at full power yet.

Will it work?

Oh, yes.

It can be destructive even at this level.

I want it turned on a certain spot at the city jail.

I can beam at any designated spot and calibrate it so that it will work.

Then hurry. There are two useless people to be wiped out.

Are you sure that you want to lose such devastating power?

Get it ready.

It is generating strength now.

Is Jimmy at his desk?

Well, how about Clark?

Let me speak to him.

Clark? I'm in jail.

No, not really. Just visiting.

Have you had any word from Jimmy?

No, he hasn't called.

When did he do that?

What's the address?

Go ahead.

1600 North Boulevard.

I'll check in. Just a minute.

I'll stay here and see if I can get anything out of Hackett or Anton.

That's a good idea.

Is the machine focused on the city jail?

On the southeast corner, as you ordered.

The man of steel uses his super-sensitive hearing.

When will it be able to send the beam?

It's gaining strength now.

Comfortable? Well, look, we've got a guest.

Now, ain't we lucky.

You, uh, didn't happen to bring a cake with that? Cake with a file?

No.

Uh, maybe if you boys would play ball with the press, I could help you out a

bit. Where have I heard that before?

You've got to get to the jail, Superman.

Lois is there.

I heard Driller say the spider lady's going to turn the ray machine on it. It

may be too late now. Can you get along by yourself?

Yeah, but you've got to save Lois.

Up, up, and away!

For the amazing climax, see The Payoff, the final chapter of Superman,

at this theater next week.
