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.

I'm Lois Lane. I'm a reporter on the
Metropolis Daily Planet.

This is my own story.

To me, it's a pretty important story.

But certain men don't always agree with
me. For instance...

Well,

Miss Lane, don't you knock before
opening doors.

Please, Chief, I simply have to see you.

Well, you can see me later. I have a
very important business conference

scheduled here.

Didn't Superman promise to be here at 2
o'clock sharp?

Yes, and it's exactly two minutes of.

I must be running fast. I'll have it
looked into.

Lois, I told you you could see me later.

I'm not taking any chances on your
getting away without my seeing you.

I'll wait.

Probably if you just sit there quietly,
you can take notes on the conference.

Uh, you know Inspector Henderson, of
course.

Oh, yes, of course.

We're all friends, and good ones, I
hope.

And Mr. Faraday, the public defender.

And how do you do, Miss Lane? Mr.
Faraday.

Superman.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

I understand you wish to see me about
something very important. Most

important. We're talking about forming a
citizens' committee.

When there's a series of bank robberies
and not a single person arrested... Now,

wait a minute, Mr. White.

I've got a dozen of those thugs locked
up already.

Mr. Faraday, I believe you represent
most of these people in court. As public

defender, that's my job, Superman.

But I don't like crime any better than
you do.

Of course not.

Faraday's helping the authorities.

But Inspector Henderson here keeps
missing my point.

We all know that these robberies are
planned and synchronized by one person

or a group of persons.

And that's who I want to see locked up.

They're the men behind all this.

I know. No, sir, you don't know.

Neither do I, and neither does anybody
else.

That's just the trouble. Who is it?
Excuse me, Mr.

Faraday, but about these thugs already
locked up, don't any of them know who

they work for?

Well, ethically, I shouldn't answer
that, but since the answer is no, it

doesn't make any difference.

They haven't the slightest idea who the
big man is.

Neither have I. Neither have I.

Well, I admit I'd like to know myself.

So, gentlemen, I can assure you of my
full help and cooperation.

Good. Now we'll get somewhere. Thank you
very much, Superman.

A pleasure to be of service. Thank you.

I knew you'd help us, and I'm going to
have Clark Kent work right along with

you. Yes, I may find him useful.

You know, I tried to have Ken here at
this meeting today, but he claimed he

had an important engagement with some
men.

What he's possibly doing is wasting a
lot of time talking to a lot of

important loafers. Well, no, I wouldn't
exactly say that, Mr. White.

Well, I'll get him on the ball.

Henderson, I'm going downtown with you
to see the mayor.

Thanks again, Superman.

Again, my pleasure, sir.

Chief, Chief, I've got to see you before
you go.

Lois, I'm very busy right now. But I've
been trying to catch you all day. Chief,

I need help.

Now, now, listen to me. It's more work
than I can do. I just can't handle it

all alone. The letters are getting
deeper and deeper on my desk.

That seems to be the trouble. Perhaps I
can be of assistance.

If there's anything you need from the
police department.

Is there anything I can do, Miss Lane?
Thank you all so much. It's very

important, this work I'm doing.

We receive nearly a thousand letters a
day, and I have to answer each one.

What's this? Complaints about the crime
situation?

The love situation.

You see, the regular woman's page editor
is on vacation, and the chief made me

take over her advice to the Lovelorn
column.

Well, it's really nothing to laugh
about. It's very important work.

I'm sure it is, and I'm sure you're well
qualified in the field, Miss Lane.

Thank you, Mr. Faraday.

Although I'm afraid I haven't been very
successful so far, personally.

But, Superman, if you'd just help me for
a few minutes. Boy, that's all it would

take for you to read those thousands of
letters.

People just don't realize how many girls
are carrying torches and how many girls

want to get married, but the men don't
pay any attention.

Or just listen to this letter from a
sign sometimes made... I'm awfully

sorry, Miss Lane, but some other time,
perhaps.

But, Superman, aren't you even
interested in love?

Now, Miss Lane, really, I think I'd
better be going. I'll see you later,

gentlemen. Superman!

Just what is the idea of breaking in
here like this?

I'm sorry, Chief.

I'm all upset, I guess. You have no idea
how it makes a girl feel reading all

these letters.

Well, the idea of asking Superman to
waste his time with a thing like that is

ridiculous. I'm sorry, Chief.

All right, I'll have someone help you
later in the week.

Thank you. But just remember, this is a
newspaper, not a lonely hearts column.

Excuse me.

I wonder why she never got married.

Search me.

Attractive girl, too.

The latest supply of broken hearts.

Men wouldn't know what it's like.

Hey, Jimmy, where'd the flower come
from?

I don't know.

The cleaning woman left it for you, I
guess.

Oh.

Is this the hearts and flowers
department?

Yes, it is. If you were a real friend,
you'd help me answer some of this mail.

Well, I'm sorry, Lois, but I promised
the chief to help Superman with a crime

thing. I should be down at headquarters
right now.

Crime? I suppose you couldn't stand to
read a love letter.

Well, it is a little out of my line.

Clark, do you know this is springtime?

Does spring mean anything to you? Well,
baseball?

I thought so.

You think spring means anything to
Superman? I doubt if Superman has any

time for baseball right now.

Oh, you.

Boy, you'll be sick of love when you get
through reading me.

Wait till you fall in love someday.

I can wait.

Never mind. Put these letters all back
in the sack and take them down to my

car. I'm going to read every single one
if I have to sit up all night to do it.

But how could tomorrow ever be the day I
dreamed of? And how could I give advice

on how to get a man?

I worked later and later and later.

And the more letters I read, the more I
thought about it being spring.

And where was the man of my dreams?

Sorry I've been so busy with the current
crime wave, but as soon as it is solved,

I'll deliver my flowers in person.

And as soon as we have time for a date,
there's a question I want to ask you.

Please be patient.

Superman.

It's a morning mail, Miss Lane.

Wow, look at you. Thanks, Jimmy. Get all
this stuff off my desk.

Huh? You heard me. Oh, Clark.

Good morning.

Say, Clark, I want to get a rundown on
that crime situation.

I'm going to get it solved if I have to
do it myself, and I'm going to solve it

in a hurry, too.

Just beautiful.

What? Oh, I'm sorry, Lois. I didn't hear
what you said.

Can't you even pay attention to me?
That's just what I was doing, and you

looked very pretty this morning.

Lois Lane speaking.

Lois, I have a couple of passes to the
ballgame, and I thought maybe this

afternoon if you weren't...

What? I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I
said my name is sometimes Mabel.

I mean, that's how I've been signing my
letters to you.

On account of sometimes he loves me and
sometimes he doesn't. Oh, the love-lorn

letters, yes.

Sorry, I'm very busy with something else
right now.

Oh, you give me such sweet advice,
honey. I can't ever thank you enough.

I mean, it's not your fault he keeps on
being a heel, is it?

Please, can't you wait? What?

Oh, no.

No, I can't wait.

the hour of decision, and here I am at
Poole's jewelry store.

You know why?

Because if I didn't return his ring, his
thugs would rub me out.

So back it goes for the seventh time.

The big crook, I hate him.

Hate who?

What are you... What?

Why, of course I'd appreciate a tip.

Um, Clark, shut the door on your way
out. You too, Jimmy.

Oh, sure, Lois.

Now, go on, Mabel.

You wanted to tell me about this man of
yours.

Well, he's the man behind the crime
situation, that's what.

What's his name?

Who?

Oh, no.

Now, stay right there, Mabel. I want to
come down and get the story.

And when he's locked up, I'll testify
plenty.

I'll show him he can't make me give my
rings back.

You find the phone all right, miss?

Here, what are you doing?

And tell the chief to hold the front
page. I just got the answer he's been

looking for.

What? You heard me. And tell him this is
one story I'm going to phone in. Because

after that, I'm going to get dressed for
a date with Superman.

Does she make sense to you?

I think I'd better follow her, Jimmy.

Put them in the car. And tell Hank if he
loses them, he'd better lose himself,

too. All right, you two, let's go.

Hello?

Miss Lane?

Superman.

I hope the flowers are the right color,
Miss Lane.

I love them.

Did you find the carnation I left on
your desk?

Was that from you, too?

Superman, why haven't you told me these
things before?

Well, I've wanted to for years, Miss
Lane, but I've always been so busy.

Yes, I know.

Shouldn't you be finding out who's
responsible for the dynamite?

Well, they're only hired thugs. Why
bother about them?

I wish you'd call me Lois sometime.

Can I call you Lois now?

Oh, just the usual hired thugs and the
usual powerful black sedan, but never

mind about them. I'll get them later.
Are you all right?

I'm all right.

In your note in the flowers, you said
there was something you wanted to ask

me? Yes, there was.

What's going on here? I was cruising by
in my car and I heard all the shooting.

It's quite all right, Inspector. Miss
Leamy's unharmed.

Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that.

Inspector, could you manage to keep the
crowd of curiosity seekers out of here?

Well, I've already told my officers to
do that.

Would you mind helping him personally,
Inspector?

Well, I... You see, we like to be alone
for a little while.

Oh.

Oh, I... I see.

Now, what was it you were going to ask
me?

I'm not very good with words, Miss Lane.

Lois.

Loss.

But... Excuse me.

This will probably be a little
expensive, but it's worth it.

What are you doing?

Squeezing little diamonds into one big
one.

See?

Now, what I wanted to ask you was...
Will you marry me?

Great Caesar's ghost.

Phone the governor, declare a holiday.
What a story.

Oh, it's really not much, Chief. I guess
I always knew it would happen sooner or

later. Well, Lois, if I were 25 years
younger, well... There I am. Thank you,

Chief.

Aren't you going to wish me luck,
Inspector?

No. Why, you... Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean that. It's just that... Well, of

course, if anyone's to get you, I'm
gladdest to be Superman, but...

It's just that I hate to see you go out
of circulation.

Why, you sweet thing.

Jeepers, Miss Lane, I think you're
pretty nice, too. Not Jimmy. Besides,

this means I won't get much help from
Superman.

I bet he's off on a cloud somewhere.

And unfortunately, I still have a master
crook to catch.

Oh, blaster crooks. We've got a wedding
to think about.

Well, I have a lot of things to do, so
if you'll excuse me.

My, you're looking prettier than ever
today.

Thank you.

Um, Clark, I want to be the first to
tell you something.

Oh, did the chief give you a raise?

Superman and I are going to be married.

Yes, I know.

Well, how do you know?

Well, I just... Never mind, Lois. But I
want you to know I'm just as happy about

it as Superman is.

Thank you.

Anyway, there's something else.

I told Superman that if he didn't mind,
I'd like to pick out the best man for

the wedding. Yes, I'm sure he assumed
you'd pick the chief.

Oh, no, the chief's giving me away.

Oh, I never thought of that.

So, Clark, would you be best man?

Me?

Be best, you mean stand up, besides
Superman at the wedding?

Well, sure, that's what a best... No,
Lois, I can't do that.

What? I can't be best man.

Look, Lois, I'm terribly sorry. You'll
have to get somebody else. I just can't

manage it.

I'll see you later.

That dame he's gonna marry knows who you
are, Mr. Faraday.

You know what's gonna happen?

The minute that wedding's over and she
gets down out of them clouds, she'll

remember.

She'll say, Superman, darling, I know
who the big boss behind this crime

situation is.

Arrest Mr.

Faraday.

Don't be stupid.

Miss Lena's not going to marry Superman.

Huh? She's going to marry me. And a wife
can't be forced to testify against her

husband. Oh, pretty smart, boss. Pretty
smart.

That's lovely.

Superman will be by for me, and I'm sure
he'll like it.

Oh, you lucky, lucky girl.

I'll be back in a minute.

Yes?

Excuse me.

I'm the color consultant here.

This is so important, I just must
interfere.

What's wrong?

Spray of color you need.

Sprig of blossom.

Here.

Edelweiss. What?

Only Edelweiss can complement the exact
shade of your hair.

You tell Superman to bring you Edelweiss
and you'll be radiant.

You lucky, lucky girl.

Okay, I did it.

Hey, boss, what's this Edelweiss
business?

Don't you understand?

I need Superman out of the way for a few
moments.

Edelweiss is a flower that grows only in
the Swiss Alps.

Well, then he'll have to fly all the way
to Switzerland to get it for her.

You're smart, boss.

I've got to find a justice of the peace.

While Superman is gone, I'm going to
marry her.

And what if Superman doesn't like it?

Superman's a gentleman, isn't he?

Once we're married, he wouldn't dare
claim he still loved a married woman.

Isn't he here yet?

He still has ten seconds.

Hello, darling. Hello, dear.

Oh, this is Lorraine who does my hair.
Lorraine, my fiancé Superman.

How do you do, Lorraine?

I hate to be a demanding woman, darling,
but could you get me some Edelweiss? You

know what it is? Of course. It's a
little flower that grows in Switzerland.

I shan't be gone long. Forgive me?

There he goes.

Let's get to the justice of the peace.

Oh, my dear Lois, I'm so happy you've
consented to be my bride.

Me? Your bride?

Yes, my dear. And this nice gentleman
will perform the ceremony.

You must be crazy. I have no... Now,
shall we get on with the ceremony?

Mr. Faraday, you're supposed to be the
public defender. Now, my dear, time

enough for conversation later.

Is that boss?

That's Superman.

So soon? Quick, out of here.

Well, this is most peculiar, Miss Lane.

And I must say, I don't like the looks
of your fiancé.

I don't like his looks either, but he
isn't my fiancé.

This is.

Here you are, darling.

My word.

Am I to have the pleasure of performing
the ceremony?

Yes, you are, sir. Do you know where the
Daily Planet building is?

Yes. Well, can you be in Mr. White's
office just a little before seven? I'll

be there. Thank you, sir.

And at seven o'clock, you and I will be
man and wife.

I don't know.

What's the matter, darling?

Oh, it's Clark.

I keep thinking about him.

As a matter of fact, so do I.

No, I mean, what if after we're married,
I discover it's Clark I really love?

Well, now, that could happen.

What am I going to do?

Lois, you're never going to worry about
that again.

I'm going to tell you a secret, and it's
going to have to remain our secret

forever. But Clark Kent and I are one
and the same person.

You?

Clark. Superman.

I mean, darling.

Now there's nothing that can stand in
our way.

Hmm.

Isn't it a lovely wedding cake?

Yeah, but I don't want no part of it.

Neither Miss Lane nor any of her friends
will live to eat it. Which means that

Miss Lane will never testify against me.

What if Superman looks at it with those
x-ray eyes of his?

He'll see that time bomb inside of it.

I've taken the precaution of covering
the bomb with lead foil.

Everybody knows that X-rays cannot
pierce lead.

Smart. Smart.

Tell you what.

It's set for 7 o'clock. Get it over
there and say it's from a friend.

I'm only sorry that our sore head Kent
didn't have the decency to show up.

Oh, we don't really mind, Chief.

Shall we begin?

Yes, let's.

Dearly beloved.

We are gathered together in the presence
of this company to join this man and

this woman in matrimony, which is
instituted and regulated by community.

these letters during my bed.

Well, Lois, I'm sorry to come by so
early, but we want you to go with us and

cover this story from a woman's angle.

What? Who?

The arrest, the bank robber ring.

Yes, I remember. Mr.

Faraday, you're a criminal. You're going
to prison. Mabel told me. Oh, now, don't

be silly. But you haven't heard.

Last night, Superman rounded up the real
men behind all the crime in Metropolis.

A bunch you never heard of.

But he was with me.

I don't understand.

Now, you've been working too hard. Now,
you hurry.

We'll wait for you. Oh, Chief, I'm
sorry. I'm late. Oh, Superman, darling.

Lois, be careful. My glasses.

Lois, what's the matter with you? Wake
up.

Wake up.

Clark, you and I... I mean, isn't any of
it true?

Hmm?

Aren't you even Superman?

Lois, do you feel all right?

No.

Of course not.

I'll be ready in a moment.

Hey, Miss Lane.

A messenger boy just brought these
flowers to the office for you, so I

thought I'd bring them by to you.

Give them to someone else. Take them to
a hospital, anything.

Don't give them to me.

You mean you don't want them?

Why on earth not?

I just couldn't stand to know who sent
them.

Don't miss the next real packed episode
in the amazing adventures of Superman.

Superman is based on the original
character appearing in Superman

magazine.
