The Adventures of Superman.

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings at a single
bound.

Look, up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a
plane. It's Superman.

Yes, it's Superman.

Strange visitor from another planet who
came to Earth with powers and abilities

far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman.

who can change the course of mighty
rivers, bend steel in his bare hands,

and who, disguised as Clark Kent,
mild-mannered reporter for a great

metropolitan newspaper, fights a
never-ending battle for truth, justice,

and the American way.

file case, Jim.

All he usually keeps in there is his
line.

Honestly, you'd think he'd file a copy
before he went chasing off someplace.

Hello?

No, this is Lois.

I don't know where Clark is.

Okay, just a minute.

Go ahead.

Thank you. Bye.

Miss Lynn, do you feel all right? Oh,
fine.

This is the craziest thing yet.

Then let's forget about it. We get into
enough trouble under normal

circumstances. Well, this couldn't get
us into any trouble.

That's what I said a lot of times. And
then ten minutes later, Superman has to

snatch me from in front of a truck.

But this might lead to a story.

You know that flagpole sitter up on top
of the Acme building?

Sure. He's been there 103 days.

Well, it's evidently affecting his mind.
He keeps screaming that he's hanging

upside down.

This I have to see.

I hope we get there before he falls.

He can't really be upside down, can he?

Take it easy. Get a hold of yourself,
man. You're all right.

Not to you. Yes, to you. Everything is
all right to you. You're Superman.

You can hang in any direction. You won't
mind.

Would you mind telling me what you're
talking about?

Look, down there.

Everything is upside down.

I'm upside down. I'm falling.

Wait, wait. Look, I'll prove to you
you're all right. Let go.

Let go?

That's right. Let go.

I'm here to catch you if anything should
go wrong.

Oh, well, we all have to go sometime.

One, two.

Two and a half. Three.

There we go.

Oh, everything's all right.

Everything's right side up.

If I were you, I'd climb down and
abandon this whole project.

Oh, no, no. I couldn't do that. I'm
going to break the record. I'm going to

stay here.

Well, I can't force you. Good luck.

Clark, you missed it.

I did? What? The flagpole sitter on top
of the acting building thought he was

upside down. And Superman... I know, I
know, Jimmy. As a matter of fact, here's

the completed story for you right there.

But you weren't even in the office when
I got the call. That's right, Lois, I

wasn't. I wasn't even in the building.
That's why I happened to be in the

vicinity when Superman landed atop that
flagpole.

I don't know how he does it.

One of these days, Mr. Kent.

Come in.

Well, Professor Pepperwinkle, how nice
to see you, sir.

Well, I'm certainly glad you remember
me.

Why, you're everybody's favorite
professor.

Would you help me put this... Oh, sure.

Cheapers, you're not in the traveling
salesman business, are you? No, Jimmy,

it looks to me like our professor has
been inventing again. I'm afraid so, Mr.

Kent. And I need the advice of a friend.

Oh, you do?

Well, let's see. Last time it was a
swimming pool without water for people

who couldn't swim.

Now, what is it this time?

I call it the anti-magneto gravitational
register.

I've experimented on myself with great
success.

But, um, what does it do?

Actually, it produces waves which have a
strange effect on the human inner ear.

Oh, you mean the balancing mechanism
like the semicircular canals.

Exactly.

It took me three years to invent this.

And I don't have the slightest idea what
it's good for.

Well, maybe if you gave us a
demonstration, we might come up with a

suggestion. Oh, yes, that would be nice.

I'll show you how it works.

Now, you see that marble?

Cheap as a science fiction pinball
machine.

Oh, not quite, Jimmy.

That marble has secret chemical
properties.

Now, I'll show you how it works.

Watch what happens when I send the
marble on its way.

Help!

I'm upside down!

Everything's upside down!

I'm falling, but I'm not landing
anywhere!

Well, of course, there's merely a
psychological effect induced through the

nervous system. Professor, I think you'd
better turn us around again.

Well, that's one of the problems. I
haven't quite perfected the reverse

mechanism. What?

It works eventually, all right.

Now, let's see.

Professor Pepperwinkle was just
demonstrating his latest invention.

Professor Pepperwinkle.

But I was standing on my head.

I mean my feet.

Only my head was where my feet should
have been.

Yes, it did seem like that, didn't it?

Now, what did you want to see me about?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Just let me get out of this crazy place.

Did you get any ideas?

What do you think I should do with it?
There's a fire axe down the hall. I'll

go and get it. Now, wait a minute,
Jimmy. You can't just smash up three

years' work like that.

Professor, whatever possessed you to
spend all that time inventing a machine

to turn people upside down?

Oh, I wanted to be the first.

Professor, were you experimenting
anywhere in the vicinity of the Acme

building today?

Well, yes, I was. I directed the machine
straight up where no one would be

affected.

Clark, the flagpole sitter.

I don't understand.

Never mind, Professor.

I suggest you take your gadget home and
don't use it again until you let us

think about it a little bit.

All right.

Well,

I hope I haven't troubled you nice
people.

Professor, we enjoyed every
nerve-wracking moment of it.

Hey, Carney, what's the matter? You look
like you've been through a spook house,

and the spooks was real.

I feel worse than I look.

It was upside down.

All of us.

Hanging there by our toes.

What are you talking about? Are you
crazy or something?

Yeah, I'm crazy.

I've been to a nut house.

The Daily Planet.

What, the newspaper?

Yeah. You know the articles they've been
writing about crooked cannibals?

Well, I went there to warn them to lay
off.

What do they expect us to do, run
legitimate?

We got to leave that to the honest
carnival operators.

Anyway, the minute I walked in the door,
there I was walking on the ceiling.

Maybe you've been out in the sun too
long, huh, Connie?

All right, wise guy. It should happen to
you once.

But, boss, it ain't possible.

It ain't, huh?

This guy's got a machine, see?

It works with a marble.

Marbles, huh? Are you sure you got all
of yours?

I tell you, it's the truth.

Just think, if there really was a
gimmick like that, well, we could do

with it.

Like what?

Like what?

Like, for instance, we've been trying to
plan a bank job for a long time, right?

Hmm. So we walk into a bank.

Police, people, everything.

And bingo, we flip the joint upside
down.

In a panic, we steal everything and beat
it.

You, you, you got it.

I'm surprised my own brain didn't think
of that.

Yeah, I think your brain is suffering
from acute attunations because there

just ain't no such machine.

There ain't, huh?

What was it now?

Professor... Pepperwinkle, that's it.
You wait here. I gotta make a phone

call.

Professor Pepperwinkle?

This is Cornelius J. Oliver.

Never mind that.

I know about that machine of yours.

Oh, sure, but I know a way to use it.

Oh, not on the telephone.

I tell you what.

You bring all your junk to the carnival
at 6th and L.

Ask for me, and I'll lay it all out for
you then.

Swell. But, Professor, kind of keep it
quiet till we make a deal, okay?

Oh, Clark, I just talked to the
professor on the phone. He's got some

wonderful news.

Not another invention, I hope.

Same invention, but somebody wants to
buy it from him. What in the world for?

Well, he doesn't know yet, but he will
by tomorrow morning. I said Jimmy and

I'd stop by to see what it's all about.

Why can't the professor invent something
practical, like the better mousetrap or

something? Not him. He'd try to invent
the better mouse first.

What could it possibly be used for?

these little gizmos for, Pop?

Well, you said to bring everything.

Those are remote control units.

Remote control?

You mean you can put these little ones
somewhere far away and make them work

from this big one? Yes. A stroke of
genius.

If I do say so myself. Remote control,
yeah.

I think you're both nuts.

My partner here is one of them skeptical
characters.

You got the proof to him it works.

Listen, if this thing can turn me upside
down, I'll eat my hat.

Naturally.

Are you ready? Go ahead.

You were right, Yo-Yo.

It don't work. What do you mean it don't
work? I'm avoided.

Hey, how about this?

Okay, Pop.

Let us down now.

There you are.

You see?

Don't bother you at all once you get
used to it.

Yeah, but if you're not used to it...
That's the whole idea.

Pardon me, but what exactly is the whole
idea?

Well, the idea, Pop, is to make people
happy.

That's why me and Yo-Yo run this
carnival. Not to make money.

Just to make people happy. Sure, money
is the last thing we ever think about,

just before we go to sleep.

Always making with the jokes.

You see, Pop, we got six or seven
carnivals running right around this

town. Of course, I see.

You think people would actually enjoy
being turned upside down, like those

loop-de-loops.

You got it, Pop.

We could put one of these gizmos here in
each Connie, and you could run the whole

setup from right in here.

Nothing I like better than making people
happy.

Well, Pop, you made Connie and me very
happy already.

You better run along, Pop. But be sure
and be back at nine tomorrow morning.

We ought to have everything set up then
for a test run.

It's been a great pleasure meeting both
of you, and I'm sure our association

will be rewarding. No doubt about it,
Pop.

No doubt about it.

Well, see you in the morning, huh? Yeah,
breakin' early, breakin' early. Good

night. Good night, Pop.

I've seen a lot of squares, but this one
takes the cake.

Hey, Connie, what was all that chatter
about them remote control boxes?

My brain is making up for lost time.

Now, the whole thing depends on timing.

There's the bank, see?

Inside, there's no trouble.

But making the getaway, that's another
problem.

Yeah, well, getting away is always a
problem.

This time it's a sitch.

We figure the escape route, time it to
the second, then plant these little

boxes along the way.

Ah, I get it. And anybody following you
gets flipped upside down, right?

Not using the old head, huh?

Hey, boss, you're a dyed-in-the-wool
genius.

Well, I gotta admit it.

I'm a genius.

Five blocks from the bank.

And this ought to be a good spot to
plant the first one. You know, Connie,

this is going to be like stealing candy
from the First National Bank.

Yeah, right there.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, we got six more to plant.

Then we gotta time the route.

Well, figure he entered the bank at
exactly 10.30.

Yeah, 10.30.

Just make sure the box goes off exactly
two minutes later, 10.32.

It'll go off, don't worry.

Okay, let's go.

Oh, I can hardly wait to start the
machine.

Oh, I do hope the people enjoy it.

Don't worry, Pop. They won't know what
hit them. But what I don't understand is

why the first one has to go at exactly
10.32.

Look, Pop, I've been in the carny
business all my life. I know what I'm

doing, okay?

Oh, of course, Mr. Yo-Yo. Anything you
say.

Oh, I just hope it's a success.

Don't worry. It's going to be a success.

Don't worry about it.

And?

Yes, Chief, what is it?

Where's Lois and that boy wonder of
journalism? I want them immediately.

Oh, they stopped by to see the
professor, Chief.

I'll call them up and try and get them
to hustle.

Do that.

And ask them if they'd mind squeezing in
a little work between visiting hours.

I don't get it, Chief. I called the
professor.

No one's there.

No one answered the phone.

We'll call him right back and ask him
why he's not at home.

Yeah.

Get on your mark, Pop.

Three minutes to go.

Whenever you give the signal, Mr. Yo-Yo.

Professor! Professor Braywicko!

Whatever you're selling, we don't want
any.

Oh, we're not selling anything, sir.
We're looking for the professor. Just in

time. Okay, you might as well sit down
and watch. I guess there's no harm.

You, get back to the gizmo. Yes, yes, of
course, of course.

We got your note. You were coming here,
professor.

Okay, Pop, 90 seconds to go. Get ready.

What's all this about, sir?

Oh, a delightful idea.

Mr. Yo-Yo and his friends have planted
my remote control boxes in six different

carnivals in town.

They have upside-down rooms and that
sort of thing.

Okay, Pop, now cut the gab, will you?
You got 60 seconds.

Wait a minute, Professor.

Mr. Kenda's writing some carnival
articles, and this is the only one in

town.

But Mr. Yo-Yo said that they own...
Don't interfere, lady, will you?

We'll interfere if we feel like it.

Of course, we don't feel like it. You
don't waste much time, do you? Got no

time to waste.

All right, you two, sit down where I can
keep an eye on you.

This is outrageous.

I refuse to cooperate until you tell me
the meaning of this.

You cooperate, Professor, unless you
want your little friends here to get

hurt.

Jeepers. Why do we have to live in the
age of invention?

I'm afraid there's an evil purpose for
even the best of inventions.

Okay, Pop.

10-32.

Hit it.

Okay, Pop, get set to hit number two.

At least you could tell us what's
happening.

Lady, if nothing went wrong, we just
stole a million bucks.

Okay, Pop.

10-40. Hit number two.

That was the last one. You can shut the
machine off now, Pop.

Connie ought to be here in a couple of
minutes.

We're sorry, but we couldn't wait. Let's
face it, kid.

You're the only ones who can identify
us. Means you can't afford to let us go,

right?

That's it, lady.

It's my fault. I got you into this.

We're not blaming you, Professor.

Jeepers, if someone only knew we were
here.

I'm afraid even Superman couldn't find
us.

Not a chance, lady. Not a chance.

It's okay. Go back and sit down now.

Go on.

If it hadn't actually happened to me,
I'd say you were all crazy.

All right. Thank you very much.

I've got your statements. Go on home.

Can't my head still spin him?

Have you ever driven a car down the
street and suddenly found yourself

upside down?

No, Bill, I can't say as I have, but I
had much the same experience in my own

office.

Obviously, it's the professor's machine
that's at the bottom of all this.

It doesn't seem possible that goofy
little man could be crooked.

I don't believe he is either. I think
somebody's just using him.

And that somebody's making an absolute
fool of the entire police department.

I know, but the important thing is that
these people are dangerous. Now, we know

they have the professor.

The odds are two to one they've got
Jimmy and Lois, too.

And there's nothing we can do about it.
Oh, there must be some connection.

Wait a minute. Do you remember I told
you about that fellow that burst in the

office? So all we have to do is locate a
man who could be anybody, anyplace.

Isn't there something you can remember
about him?

No, things were a little confused at
that point. We were upside down,

remember? Well, wait a minute. There was
one thing.

The first thing he yelled was, Hey,
Rube.

Hey, Kent, that could be the answer.

Whenever there's trouble around a
carnival or circus, that's the signal

for help.

That's right, and there's a carnival
playing in the town.

Well, come on. It's worth a try. You go
ahead, Bill. I'd like to go to the paper

if I may. All right.

I'll see you later. Right.

South America, here we come.

Yeah, after we get rid of them.

What'd you say?

Oh, let them talk.

They ain't got much time left.

Good. Well, it's nice to have things
back to normal.

If there ever was a nick of time,
Superman, that was it.

That gives me an idea.

A machine to make time stand absolutely
still. Now, just a moment, Professor.

No more machines, please.

You know, this calls for a celebration.

I want to invite all of you and Mr. Kent
to my house for dinner.

Mom's cooking something special for
dessert.

Sounds good, Jim. What is it?

Pineapple upside-down cake.

Miss the next real packed episode in the
amazing adventures of Superman.

Superman is based on the original
character appearing in Superman

magazine.
