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.

Hi there, Mr. Allen. Hello. I guess you
haven't got the baggage off the

Washington plate yet, huh? A few minutes
yet outside, but I'll slip yours back

here for you if you'd like.

Okay, save a little time.

Oh, nothing's too good for a man that
travels as much as you do.

What's the rush?

Aren't you going to stay in Metropolis
for a while? Just a few days.

Just rushing to get a parade dinner soon
to make a phone call.

Supposed to meet an old friend of mine
here.

Where's the phone booth?

Oh, here you use mine.

Help yourself.

Oh, thank you.

Bailey Planet, I'd like to speak to
Clark Kent, please.

Yeah.

Who?

Oh, Gary, I'm sorry I got tied up and I
couldn't meet you, but... What?

Oh, no, no, no, we're still having
dinner, all right. As a matter of fact,

I sent Jimmy Olsen down to pick you up.

Well, that's better.

Oh, sure, I'll find him, don't worry.

Oh, everything's wonderful. Got tangled
up in a plane crash down in Africa, you

know. But that was a long time ago.

Right now, I feel better than I have for
years.

Oh, hold it.

That's not mine.

I know. Late register stuff from the
overseas flight.

Boy, he's got this bank loaded.

Yeah, Clark, I'm still here. I was just
saying I felt... Well, talk louder if

that's the best you've felt for years.
You sound...

Come on, Gary.

Oh, boy.

There we are.

Boy, you had me worried there for a
while.

You must have fainted.

Fainted? Uh-huh. I must have been out
for a half hour if you're here already.

Well, I, um, happen to know of a
shortcut, but there isn't much traffic.

Hi, Mr. Kent.

Hello, Jimmy. What are you doing here?

Well, this is the man you were supposed
to meet.

Oh, hello, sir. How are you? I, uh, I
guess I was watching the wrong airplane.

I'm sorry, Mr. Allen.

There you are. Got this at first aid.

Oh, thanks. I'm all right.

Good. With your friends, huh?

Yes, and thank you so much for your
courtesy.

I feel like I've been out for an hour.

Well, do you feel all right now? Think
you'll be able to travel?

Sure.

But it's funny, though.

I never fainted in my life before.

Well, you're probably still suffering
from the effects of that plane crash you

told me about on the phone.

But I'm not. That's the funny part of
it.

A few minutes ago, I felt just like I
did during the plane crash.

Woozy, sort of weak all over. It came
and went.

Just like I said, you're still suffering
from the effects of that crash.

Clark, it's the place.

I'm sorry, Gary, but you've lost me.

Well, don't you see? Outside, I feel
fine. And in here, in the plane, every

place.

But back there, standing by that phone.

Come on, it's right over here. I'll show
you.

All right. Let me give you a hint. Here
we go.

Seriously, Gary, I'd like you to see
this doctor. He's a very good friend of

mine and exceptionally good for this
sort of thing.

Oh, I feel fine now, Kent.

Let's see.

I stopped here for a second. Yeah?

And that's the phone I used to call you.

Garrett, what are you... Golly, I got
him. He's just sick, that's all. There's

nothing wrong here. I feel fine.

Jimmy, take him to that bench down the
hall.

Quickly. You better help me. Do as I
tell you.

Sheepers, Mr. Kent, is something the
matter with you, too?

No, no, Jimmy. Get him a drink of water,
will you, right away? Please, quick,

hurry.

Where is nobody?

Man! Man!

Sorry, sir, you get your luggage
outside. This is only the back way.

Tips, huh?

Tips.

Okay, okay.

From abroad, huh?

Africa.

Up there, Africa, very hot. Now I pass
your immigration, I'm going to enjoy

myself in your city.

One luggage, please.

Here we are.

Say, what have you gotten at, anyway?

Let's see your customs slip.

Does it hurt you, huh?

No. It has clearance, huh?

Not hurt you.

It not hurt me. It not hurt anybody.

Only one person in the whole world.

Huh? Deep, huh?

Well,

doctor, I took a preliminary blood test.

So far, it looks as if you were exposed
to some sort of metallic radiation.

What?

Doctor, would radiation cause that kind
of reaction?

That's the trouble. It just looks like
it, I said.

Maybe you came near some sort of
dangerous metal.

But then again, my tests don't indicate
any metal I've ever heard of.

Any metal on Earth.

Jeepers, what if that metal... Hold it,
Jimmy.

Gary, when was this plane crash of
yours?

You ought to remember the date, Clark.

It was the same time Superman tangled
with that big asteroid, smacked it to

pieces, remember?

Saved the world from a collision.

Well, my plane got caught in a shower of
fragments.

Mr. Kent, that's it. Hold it, will you,
Jimmy?

Gary, did you ever hear of a man by the
name of Van Wick from Africa?

Who? Van Wick. I checked with the
customs people.

He picked up a very heavy satchel.

And while he's listed as a plantation
owner, he signs himself as professor.

No, I've never heard of him.

Inside of that satchel, he must have
been tearing up... I beg your pardon,

Jimmy. Will you excuse us for just a
second?

Now, wait a minute, Jimmy.

I know what you're thinking.

Kryptonite. It must be.

Jeepers, Mr. Kent, Superman had trouble
with that asteroid, didn't he? And

there's only one metal that can harm
him.

It's from the planet Krypton.

Yes, yes, I know. But you don't know
it's Kryptonite, do you?

Well, I would if I saw it affect
Superman.

Jeepers, Kryptonite could kill him. I
know.

Wouldn't the customs give you a list of
what the professor was bringing in? No,

they said the satchel contained some
rock specimens. It seems the professor's

an amateur collector.

Well, then he probably won't try
anything bad with them.

And if he does have some kryptonite, he
probably doesn't even know what it is. I

hope you're right, Jimmy.

We'd better find that professor in a
hurry, don't you think?

I think I'd better contact Superman.
This could be very important to him.

Mr. Rufus, it's an honor to enter your
house. I am...

Oh,

Mr. Rufus, I am Professor Wenwick.

My plantation is very large, but very
poor.

Oh, Mr.

Rufus, no apologies are necessary. I
understand a man as rich and important

as you are in the underworld.

Precautions? I am Professor Van Wick.

Plantations, astrology, geology, money?

No money.

He's Rufus.

Oh, at last.

I am... I know who you are. Have a seat.

This is the snorkel, a very funny guy,
and my secretary, the Duchess.

Well, once upon a time, I have a
telescope, you see.

You wrote a letter, Professor. I
understand the whole situation.

I read it to him.

No, no, no, no, no. The background, you
must understand.

I have a telescope. I built it for
myself. It's my hobby, you see. So I'll

be watching on the telescope, and all of
a sudden, there is the Superman.

Watching.

All of a sudden, there is an asteroid.

Watching. Boom! Everything goes all over
the sky.

I saw it myself. A very disappointing
fight. Superman got lucky in the last

round. He saw it.

The whole world did.

But not the way I saw it.

I was watching the Superman and
something happened to him. A strange

reaction. A weakness.

And I know what caused it. I have the
secret right here. Because there was a

strange, peculiar color in my spectrum.

Strange color?

A new metal that makes the Superman to
react to it.

One day I was visiting the place where
the plane crashed and I saw a fragment

of the meteor there. Just a tiny little
piece which didn't get fused by the

heat. Just a little rock.

But it makes the same color in my
spectrum.

Scientific stuff.

Oh.

This is what you can get rid of
Superman.

Just a rock?

My theory is this. If I can get Superman
as close to this as you are, he

fainted. If I get it closer, he's dead.

More closer, he's deader.

More closer, more dead. Get out of here.

But you are not Superman. It won't hurt
you.

I'm taking no chances. Get it away.

Farther. Farther.

A minute, boss.

You may have something there.

If he can make Superman powerless with
that, get rid of him for the long time.

For good, huh?

Of course I can.

Just get me near to Superman with this
rock and I can prove you what I say.

Suppose for a minute what you say is
true.

What's your proposition?

Mr. Rufus, plantations I have.

Science, telescope, hobbies I have.

Money?

No money.

You deliver me Superman stretched out
like a fish and I'll give you everything

I got. Ten million.

You only got eight.

Eight million dollars.

Eight million.

Eight million.

Take him down to the Daily Planet
building. Superman always shows up there

sooner or later.

Great Caesar's ghost.

Of all the front page, where is
everybody?

Kent, where are you?

Lois? Olsen?

Here, you look at this. Would you write
a story like that?

I'm just waiting here. Of course not. Do
I have to write every word in this

newspaper? Who are you waiting for?

I don't know. I'm just here.

Let me tell you one thing. I have no
time for shoeshines. The kind of help I

get around this place, I'd be lucky to
have time for a bath this week.

Did you want something, Chief? Yes, I'd
like a couple of reporters around here

who can write sensible stories.

What's the matter with Kent today,
anyway?

Well, he's got a pretty important
problem. He's out trying to find

something, but he ought to be back in a
little while. What's he looking for?

Well, it's a secret. Nobody knows but
me. All right, never mind. Just tell

Kent I want to see him when he gets
back.

And don't call me Chief, either.

Yes, Chief.

Sir?

Say, that's a good idea. A man should
look his best for a free lunch, huh?

Oh,

hi, Jim.

Why the long face?

Chief been chewing you out again?

I'll say he has.

Only not on my account this time.

It seems that it's my fault.

That he can't find Mr. Kent.

Where is Clark? I haven't seen him all
day.

I don't know where he is, but I gotta
find him. Well, what's so important?

Well, you know this Professor Van Wick
he's been looking for?

He thinks that this Professor had
something to do with those fainting

spells that Gary Allen had.

And also that this Van Wick may have
Superman in terrible danger.

You mean?

That's right.

Kryptonite.

What are we supposed to do about it?

I don't know.

But I think I do know where this
Professor Van Wick is.

You do?

How'd you find out?

Well, you know Herbie the cabbie? I was
just talking to him down in the

lunchroom. And he told me that he drove
some goofy character from the airport to

a house in the country.

And when they got there, he got out of
the cab to pay his fare. He not only

paid it, he bowed from the waist and
gave him a calling card.

Professor Van Wick.

And where is this house?

I think I know where it is.

And I also know who it belongs to.

A very important racketeer named Big Tom
Rufus.

Okay, let's go.

What do you mean, let's go?

It's Mr.

Kent's story. But he isn't here. And in
the meantime, the professor and this

Rufus may have Superman in some terrible
trouble.

Can't you see, Jim? We've got to get out
there.

Well... I guess so. Only we better take
the police along.

Oh, we can't. They'll be raiding the
place with sirens, screaming and spoil

everything. Come on.

Okay. You go get the car out of the
garage, and I'll leave a note for Mr.

Kent in case he can get in contact with
Superman.

I'll get my coat and meet you downstairs
in five minutes. Okay.

Well, believe it. It just ain't true.

Hey, please, Dutchess, you'll wake him
up.

Oh, no, no.

Even without this, he would be
unconscious for a while, but if I do

so... I told you to keep that rock away
from me.

I went

through his wallet, boss.

Name's Gary Allen.

Lives here in Metropolis, but he travels
a lot.

Does jobs for the government, sort of an
investigator.

So?

So that's what Superman figures to be.

It's a perfect identity for him.

Could it be?

No, no, he's just an ordinary guy. Well
set up, athletic, but certainly no

Superman. Look at it this way.

None of the rest of us here are affected
by that little ruck.

And nobody down at the planet office was
affected when the professor shoved it at

them. Except this Alan character.

Go ahead.

How come?

Yeah, how indeed.

Hey, come here a minute, Duchess.

A few minutes ago, you were wanting to
test that knitting needle. Here, give it

to me.

Boy, it broke.

Oh, if you're really Superman, I've been
wanting to do this for years.

Oh, wait a minute. I'm going to let him
have it. You fool, no shooting.

Nobody hits the boss when I'm around.

He didn't hit me. I hit him. Well, I'm
still gonna let him have it.

You're a fool, but you proved one thing
beyond the shadow of a doubt.

He's not hurt.

His heart's beating as good as ever.

So there's only one thing can really
hurt him. That little rock.

I told you all along. One little whiff
of this and he's unconscious.

A little stronger exposure, a little
longer exposure, and he's dead. Boom.

May I have my eight million dollars,
please?

I'm a man of my word, Professor. You'll
get your million dollars.

That's right.

One million?

You said eight million.

Let's look at it this way, Professor.

Who needs that kind of money?

One million.

I found them prowling around the
premises. I seen the kid before at the

Daily Planet building.

Reporters? Yeah, yeah, they're
reporters.

Well, isn't that just too bad for them?

What are you doing to Mr. Allen?

And where's Superman?

My dear young people, Mr. Allen is
Superman.

He can't be.

You're making a terrible mistake.

There's no mistake.

He proved it himself.

I'm afraid Gary Allen, alias Superman,
has come to the end of the road.

And since you chose to be so snoopy, I'm
afraid you're going to travel with him.

Come on, get the rope out of the other
room. We'll tie him up.

Come on, get over there.

Come on, now.

Sit down here.

Right there.

That boy. Yeah.

Take the Dutchess down to the carriage
house. Warm up the car and wait for me

at Schnorkel.

Come on, we're going.

Where do you think that Mr. Allen's
Superman?

If the boss says he's Superman, he's
Superman.

Oh, it's too bad.

He's a nice-looking fella.

Nicer-looking than the boss.

Nicer-looking than Snorkel.

Nicer-looking than you.

Women, come on.

There.

That's a lovely piece of furniture,
don't you think?

I anticipated that someday we might have
to leave here under forced circumstances

with no trace.

So this isn't actually what it appears
to be.

Actually, it's a tank of napalm, jellied
gasoline.

Five minutes after I start the electric
clock, there'll be an explosion, and

this whole house will be a blazing
inferno.

All right, come on.

Put the rock beside Superman there,
Professor, so we can be sure he won't

come to.

This terrible thing you are going to do.

It makes me feel sick.

For a million dollars, you can get well.

Not too like the boss says, huh?

No, no.

I wish I've never seen this deadly rock,
this terrible rock.

Well, never mind. Come on, let's get out
of here.

Jimmy, Miss Lane, I know you can't
answer, so just listen.

I can't come into this room because of
the kryptonite. You know that.

So somehow, Jimmy, I want you to try and
kick it into the fireplace.

Now, I've got a weed burner here I found
in the tool shed.

I'm going to try and burn the kryptonite
up.

So go ahead.

Good boy, Jimmy now watch out

All right, kids?

Oh, you aren't, Mr. Allen?

Yeah, I guess I'll be all right.

That'll be Inspector Henderson and his
boys.

I took the precaution of phoning him and
telling him to give us an hour ahead

start, then to set up a roadblock and
close in.

For once, I'm glad you double-crossed
me.

It still seems incredible, but
Superman's explanation must be the right

one.

Although the kryptonite knocked me out
and eventually would have killed me,

while I was under its influence, I was
impervious to bullets or anything else.

Jeepers, for a while there, you really
were Superman.

Did I hear someone mention Superman?

You certainly did.

Where have you been?

Yes, old friend, where have you been all
afternoon?

Well, you might say I've been looking
for you. After all, we were supposed to

have lunch, weren't we?

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

Superman is based on the original
character appearing in Superman

magazine.
