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.

Yeah, yes, I understand.

Of course, you realize I can't make any
promises, but I'll do the best I can.

Yes, I'll call you. Goodbye.

Chief, you're using your serious voice.
What was that all about?

That was General Thompson of the
Department of Defense.

What do you want?

They spotted an unidentifiable aircraft
over the desert.

Oh, no, not those tired flying saucers
again.

No, this was more like a rocket ship.

What do they expect you to do about it?

Find it.

Find it? A rocket ship? They're kind of
hard to lose, aren't they? They're not

exactly small.

Now, this is serious, Kent.

All their efforts to locate it have
failed.

The general has one last hope, Superman.

And they're hoping you can contact him
and tell him to get busy.

Now, just a minute, Chief. You know I'm
working on the story already. And

besides, what makes you think I can turn
Superman on and off like a water faucet?

Well, try it, and that's an order.

Isn't that kind of a silly way for a
grown man to spend his time?

Well, Chief, if you think it's so silly,
why don't you try to make one yourself?

Paper helicopter.

Man, I've been working too hard.

Please take me to your leader.

What did you say?

Take me to your leader.

That's what I thought you said.

I want to see someone in command.

Well, Mr. White's the boss.

Is that the same as a leader?

Well, it's almost the same. A little
more so.

Will you take me to him?

Well... He only sees people by
appointment, and anyway, he's out to

lunch.

All right, you stop pulling my leg.

But I wasn't pulling your leg.

Honest, I wasn't.

What good would that do either of us?

Hi, Jimmy.

Who's your friend?

Did you see him, too? Of course I see
him.

That's a relief.

Are you the boss?

No, I just work around here. Perhaps I
can help you?

Green hair?

Back home, we all have green hair.

Uh-huh. And where is back home?

Mars. It's just about the finest place
anywhere.

And I'll never get to see it again.

Not ever.

Oh, come now, things can't be as bad as
all that.

They're even worse.

Well, now, why don't you begin at the
beginning and tell me all about it? Then

Mr. Kent will write all about you in the
newspaper.

That'd make you feel better, wouldn't
it? No, no, because then everyone would

know. You mean there's something to be
ashamed of?

Yes, I'm ashamed of being, ashamed of
being measly.

They said I'd never die.

I'm just measly away.

That's why they banished me.

They banished you from Mars?

They said... They said I was a disgrace
to all of them.

Because I can't do anything.

They said it's because I'm so measly.

Sometimes I think I'm just stupid.

Oh, that's ridiculous. I don't believe
anybody thinks you're stupid.

Besides all this, I'm too little.

Everyone on Mars is four feet, two
inches tall.

And I'm only... Four feet, one and three
quarter inches tall.

And they only make one size.

Did you ever see a Lucy uniform?

And my whole life, all I ever wanted was
a pair of shoes that fit.

Well, now, let's not worry about that.
That's no problem. I'm sure we can get

clothes to fit you. Mr., by the way,
what is your name, sir? We don't have

names. We have numbers.

I'm zero, zero, zero, minus one. A real
nothing.

Well, I don't think you're a nothing.

How do you do, Mr. 000-1? I'm Clark
Kent.

That's Jimmy Olsen.

Oh, uh, is it all right with you if we
call you Mr. Zero?

Sure.

Hi, Jimmy.

Wow.

What's that?

That is what is commonly referred to as
a girl.

Around here, we refer to her as Miss
Lane.

I'm very happy to make your
acquaintance, Miss Lane.

I've never seen anyone like you before.

Well, haven't you got some word for your
young admirer?

Women. You never know how they're going
to act.

One time they yak, yak, yak, and the
next time they won't even say hello.

Just standing there like that, she's
about the prettiest thing I ever saw.

Even if she doesn't have green hair.

Yes. Uh, Jimmy, would you take Mr. Zero
downtown and... Buy him some

clothes, please.

Sure, Mr. Kent.

Would you like that, Mr. Zero?

Golly, it certainly would be a relief
not to be tripping over my trousers.

Try the boys' department.

Come on, Mr. Zero.

Goodbye, Mr. Kent. Goodbye, Mr. Zero.

So long, stone face.

Hello, is he all right?

I'm all right now, I think.

What was that all about?

Gosh, I don't know, Clark. I came in
here and that funny little man pointed

at me. It was the strangest sensation.

I couldn't move or talk.

Who was he?

Well, you better sit down for this one.

He says his name is 000-1 and he just
dropped down from Mars.

Oh, Clark, how gullible can you get?

That's what the little man said.

Don't tell me you believe him.

I don't know, Lois.

I can't think of any better explanation.

And also, the Department of Defense
cited an unidentifiable aircraft that

even Superman couldn't find.

I don't get the connection.

I think I'm beginning to.

If what the little man told us was true,
if he was banished from Mars just for

being measly... How mean.

Yes. Then they might have brought him
down in a rocket ship, dumped him, and

turned right around and gone off again.

Well, I'd hate to try to sell that idea
to the Defense Department.

Yes, so would I.

But right now, the thing that concerns
me is what happened to an opponent who's

finger at you?

Do you suppose he has some weird kind of
power?

Well, I'll tell you one thing. I felt
pretty weird.

Hmm.

I wonder if he does have it.

What's more important, I wonder if he
knows he has it.

If you're not careful, Mr. Zero, you're
going to get yourself elected one of the

ten best-dressed Martians in the
country.

I just can't believe it.

I can't believe it. Well, seeing is
believing. Take a look.

Another Martian? No, that's not another
Martian, Mr. Zero. It's you.

It is? Sure.

Then what am I doing out here?

Well, it's not really you. It's your
reflection. It's what we call a mirror.

You mean that's how I look? That's
right.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

Would you like to have me wrap these up
for you, sir?

Those old things, as far as I'm
concerned, you can throw them out.

Yes, sir.

And I do thank you for all your trouble.

And I thank you.

It's been a pleasure to save you.
Goodbye. Goodbye, sir.

May I help you, sir?

Are you feeling all right?

That was real crazy.

I beg your pardon?

Well, I come in here for a pair of socks
and the character with the hair points

at me. All of a sudden, I freeze.

Who is he? Mr. Zero. He's a friend of
Jimmy Olsen's and Clark Kent's.

Clark Kent, the crusading reporter?

Mm-hmm. He must be up to something.

Mr. Zero told me he just dropped in from
Mars.

Oh, Mars.

Oh, well... Of course, I don't believe
him.

Well, Mars, schmars, that power of his
could come in mighty handy.

I don't quite get you. Never mind. I
just had an idea.

How about your socks?

Some other time. This is bigger than
socks.

Well, you're working too hard.

I seem to thrive on it. How about you?
How do you feel? Fine.

Good. No will effects from the pointing
figure of Armistice Zero?

No, nothing so far.

Well, guess I'd better get back to work.

Okay.

Well.

Hi, sport.

Do you like it? Sure do.

Well, Jimmy, you did a great job.

Thanks, Mr. Kev.

Mr. Zero, I have a question to ask you,
sir.

How did you get to Earth?

They flew me down by rocket ship.

And they let you out in the desert?

Yes. And then turned right around and
flew back to Mars?

That's right.

Uh-huh.

That's what I thought.

I have to tell the chief this. I know
he's not going to believe it, but I have

to give him the old school try.

Chief.

Mr. White.

What?

I have a report for you on that missing
rocket ship. Of course, I don't expect

you to believe it.

Mr. Zero.

Do you know what happens when you point
your finger at someone?

Well, sometimes you get your hand
slapped because it's not polite.

My mother always used to tell me so.

No, I mean when you point at someone.

No.

Point at Jimmy.

See? That's what happened when you
pointed at me before. I just froze.

Oh, Miss Lane, I didn't hurt you, did I?

I wouldn't hurt you for anything in the
universe.

Of course not. It went away in a few
minutes, just like it will with Jimmy.

Watch.

I think I just broke the record for long
yawning.

I didn't know I could do that. I think
it must have something to do with you

coming from a different planet.

The difference in the atmosphere or
something.

Thank you, Professor Einstein.

Come in.

I'm looking for Clark Kent.

That is, I'm looking for you.

Who are you?

Georgie Gleep.

What do you want with Mr. Zero?

Just want to show him a little
hospitality.

Introduce him to a few of the boys,
maybe.

That's awfully nice, Mr. Gleep.

Oh, you just call me Georgie.

All right, Georgie.

You can call me Zero.

You know, Zero, word's gotten around
about you. It isn't every day we get a

visitor from Mars.

Now, being new here, you're going to
need a lot of friends.

How about coming out to the house?

Well, I'd like that very much, Georgie.
Good.

Don't you think you'd better wait, Mr.
Zero? What's to wait for?

Just being neighborly?

And after all, Miss Lane, I can't hang
around you, Jimmy, and Mr. Kent all the

time. That would be an imposition.

Well, you're a big boy. Do whatever you
think is right.

There's nothing wrong in making friends,
is there?

Of course there ain't.

Come on, John.

So long, Jimmy.

Miss Lane.

Bye, Mr. Zero. So long, Mr. Zero.

Somehow or other, I don't trust that
Georgie Gleek.

Me neither.

Where's Mr. Zero?

I told the chief about him. He wants to
see him right away.

Doesn't believe in him.

Thinks I've been overworking or
something.

Well, he just left with a new friend,
Georgie Gleep.

Georgie Gleep. Gleep. Georgie Gleep.

Yeah, name sounds familiar. I can't
remember from where.

You don't seem very happy about it.

Well, I'm not.

I'm not lost. The vibrations I get
aren't good.

Not a bit good.

Well, here we are, Zero. Home sweet
home.

You just make yourself comfortable.

Slouchy will be along any minute.

Who's Slouchy? Slouchy Magoon. One of
the best friends a guy ever had.

Real prince of a man.

Oh, hiya, Slouchy.

Hiya.

Slouchy, I want you to meet a real
smooth operator.

Mr. Zero.

Slouchy Magoon.

How do you do, Mr. Magoon?

Hiya, Zero.

Green hair?

Sure.

Zero's gonna be a real big help to us.

I am? You sure are.

How? Well, I was just getting to that.

Slouchy, you're in on this, too.

You see, Zero, in this world of ours,
there are the good people, and then

again, there are the bad people.

I guess I've been lucky.

So far, I've just met the good ones.

Yeah, that's right. Like Clark Kent and
Jimmy Olsen and Miss Lane. Yeah, they're

all real fine.

And you and Mr. Magoon taking me in as a
friend right off the bat?

That's pretty nice, too.

Yeah, yeah. Well, but there are a lot of
rough characters in this town that you

don't know about yet.

Where are they?

Well, every day from 10 o'clock in the
morning till 3 in the afternoon, they

hang out in that big stone building just
around the corner from the Daily Planet.

And do you know what they're doing?

No.

Counting money.

Money? What's that?

Take it easy with you, slouchy.

Why did you hit yourself?

Were you bad?

He was killing a mosquito.

Seemed to be a lot of them around here
today.

But to get back to the money.

Money is something that's real handy to
have around if you want to keep on

living. You see, it pays the rent so you
have a place to flop and you can

exchange it for food.

Oh, I see.

And do you know whose money those bad
guys have got in that big stone

building?

No. Miss Lane's.

How did they get it?

Well, being a lady, not knowing any
better, she gave it to him.

Then she must have wanted them to have
it.

She's very kind, you know. No, no, no,
no, you don't understand, Zero. You see,

she trusted him with it for safekeeping.
Now, they're supposed to give it back to

her whenever she needs it.

But they don't want to give it back to
her because they want to keep it for

themselves. Yeah, the dirty rats.

I see you're beginning to get the
message.

Yeah, I'm reading you real good,
Georgie. Good.

That's awful.

then Miss Lane won't be able to get any
food.

And she'll be hungry.

Yeah.

She won't be able to pay the rent.

She'll be cold.

And won't have any place to sleep.

Well, we just can't let that happen to
Miss Lane, can we, Zero?

We certainly can't.

But what are we going to do?

I'm glad you asked me that.

Because that's where you come in.

Now, here's the idea.

Just before three o'clock... We go down
to that stone building I was telling you

about, see?

We parked the car out in front.

He's been gone over three hours, Lois.
He should never have been allowed to go

off with that cheap, petty crook, Gleep.

I'm sorry, Clark.

Golly, if anything happens to him, I'll
never forgive myself.

Mr. Zero!

Golly, is it good to see you.

Why? What's happened? That's just what I
was about to ask you.

Where have you been?

I can't tell you.

I gave my word.

Mr. Zero, Georgie Gleep is not a nice
man.

Oh, you must have another Georgie Gleep
in mind, Mr. Kent, because this one's so

kind and good as can be.

So is his friend Slouchy.

Slouchy Magoon?

That's right.

Oh, no.

What's the matter?

Well, Magoon and Gleep have been known
to pull off quite a few robberies in

their day.

Robberies? What's that?

Well, that's when you take something
that doesn't belong to you.

But it was the others who did that. They
took... Ah, and what did they take?

I'm very sorry. I can't tell you.

Hi, Mrs. Zero.

Hello, Jimmy.

Mr. Kent, I forgot to cash a check
today. Could you possibly loan me five

bucks till tomorrow?

Well, I'm afraid not, Jimmy. You see,
I'm running a little short myself.

I can, Jimmy. I got some money from the
bank today. Come on, it's in my office.

Oh, good, Miss Lane. Wait a minute, Miss
Lane.

What did you say?

Oh, I'm going to lend Jimmy $5.

No, I mean about getting the money from
the bank.

Oh, well, that's very simple. I wrote
out a check, and they gave me what I

wanted. They did?

Well, of course.

But Georgie said... Uh, what did Georgie
say? I think you better tell us the

whole story.

He said there were bad people in that
building.

And they weren't going to give Miss Lane
any of her money, so she'd be cold,

hungry, and... Oh, what have I done?

Now, look.

Nobody ever gained anything from crying.

What happened?

While I... While I pointed my finger at
the men, Georgie and Slouchy took all of

Miss Lane's money.

A lot of other people's, too, I'll bet.

Do you know what they did with it? They
said they were going to mail it to Miss

Lane because she wouldn't ever know who
did the good deed.

Oh, Miss Lane.

I'm sorry. I don't know what to do.

Oh, that's all right. We'll think of
something.

They were right to banish me from Mars.

I'm no good.

Just no good.

Now, now, don't say that. You're very
nice. You just made a mistake, but it's

not your fault.

But it is.

It is, if it hadn't been for me.

Have you any idea where they took the
money?

No, but I know where Georgie lives.

Oh, you do? Where?

It's a little place out on the road, all
by itself.

just past the place where they stopped
to put something in their car so they

could go some more.

You must mean a filling station.

Yes, I think I know the place.

Sort of an old, run-down house. Is that
right?

Yes. And, Mr. Kent, you've got to let me
help you get Miss Lane's money back

again. I'll do anything.

Well, I'm afraid this sounds more like a
job for Superman.

Superman?

We've heard about him even on Mars, from
the time he took care of those meteors.

He's a good friend of Mr. Kent's.

If I can arrange it, would you like to
help Superman get Miss Lane's money back

for her?

Oh, yes.

Can you arrange it? Well, I'll try.

Jimmy, here's the key to my car.

You drive Mr. Zero over to Georgie's
hideout and get there as fast as you

can, but don't break any speed laws.

Sure, Mr. Kent. Come on, Mr. Zero.

And what are you going to do, Clark?

I'm going to try and contact Superman.
What do you mean, try and find him? You

always do. Why is that, Clark? Lewis,
this is no time for idle feminine

curiosity. Your fortune's at stake,
remember?

Perhaps you'd like me to sit down and
gossip with you for a while? Never mind,

never mind. I'm sorry I brought up the
subject. I'm very glad to hear it. Now,

will you please call Inspector Henderson
and tell him to go over there right away

with a couple of his best men? Right.

Give me Inspector Henderson, please.

that Mr.

Zero is. You don't find him like that
every day in the week. You can say that

again. Boy, I can hardly wait to start
counting this loot.

And to think, we didn't even have to
find a gun.

Unarmed robbery.

A million dollars worth, you gorgeous
woman.

I know. Just a couple of nice boys out
for a lark. What are you going to do to

us, Superman?

I'm not going to do a thing.

However, I'd like you to meet an
associate of mine.

Come in, 000-1.

This job is much too big for Superman.
Take over.

Gladly, Superman.

That should hold them until Inspector
Henderson gets here.

Mr. Zero, you really saved the day.

I did, didn't I? Sure you did.

Look what 0-0-0-1 is doing down there on
Earth.

He's helping Superman.

And he's only four feet, one and
three-quarters tall.

Imagine!

And then Superman asked me to meet Mr.
Kent, Miss Lane, and Jimmy back here.

He said that you'd want to meet me. Yes,
of course. I wouldn't have believed it

otherwise. Have a cigar.

Thank you.

Aren't you afraid it'll stun his growth?

This is very superior.

Good, I'm glad you like it. I'll give
you a box of them later.

Back home, we smoke corn silk.

Corn silk?

What is it, Mr. Zero?

This is the antenna for my helmet.

They're sending me a message.

What kind of a message?

From Mars.

From the Supreme Council.

They say if I'm good enough for
Superman...

I'm good enough for them.

They're sending a rocket ship for me.
You're going home?

Golly, that's great. What a story. We
can drive you to where they're going to

pick you up, and I'll get some pictures,
and Miss Lane, you can... Jimmy,

obviously Mr. Zero doesn't want to say
this, but he's afraid if there are

people around when the rocket ship
approaches, his friends may be

frightened away.

That's right, Mr. Kent.

Oh, of course.

We'll take you to the meeting place and
leave you there.

Sure. Thank you.

Goodbye, Mr. Kent.

Mr. White.

Goodbye.

You realize, of course, that the people
in Washington are never going to believe

this. I suppose not, Chief. You
obviously didn't.

Kent, I want to ask you a question.

Yes, sir.

I have here a scissor, paper, and paper
clip.

Yes?

Just how do you go about making those
paper helicopters?

Chief, I thought you'd never ask me.
It's very simple.

Don't miss the next thrill-packed
episode in the amazing adventures of

Superman.

Superman is based on the original
character appearing in Superman

magazine.
