- It's a plane.
-lt'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.

And now, another exciting episode
in the Adventures oi Superman.

Who are you?

Crackers!

Cut it out. Rollo.

I ain't done any clown work
since we was partners 10 years ago.

That's funny.
We had an argument and split up.

Now I can't remember
what we argued about.

About the same thing
that brings me back.

Money. I need some.

Well. I haven't very much.
but you can have a few dollars.

A few rotten bucks. huh?

I'm sick of having nothing
but a few rotten bucks.

Well. I’m sorry. Crackers. but I don't
happen to have very much right now.

Come in.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello. are you Rollo?

- Yeah.
- I’m Clark Kent. This is Miss Lane.

- We're from the Planet.
- I know.

You're the tallest midget in the world.
and you're the smallest giant.

Well. not exactly.
We've come to ask you a tremendous favor.

Favor? Sure. why not?

Oh. this is a friend of mine. Crackers.

- Glad to know you.
- How do you do. Crackers?

Now. about this favor.
What can I do for you?

It's quite a big favor. We want you
to help us raise half a million dollars.

Half a million dollars?

You see. Rollo. in two hours from now.
the Daily Planet is starting a telethon.

It's a 24-hour TV show to raise money
for the Children's Fresh Air Camp fund.

Of course. of course.

Say. I'd be honored and delighted.

L've got just the bit for it too.
A new act I thought up.

- Would you like to see it?
- Love it.

You hear that? I’m gonna help
raise half a million dollars.

Yeah. I heard.

I thought of this for Metropolis.
because Superman lives here.

- Right. Mr. Kent?
- Right. You might even meet him.

Wonderful, wonderful. Here.

Now. you be the villain.
and I'll be Superclown.

Now. instead of taking the gun away
and crushing the barrel to bits...

...l take the gun away...

...and eat it.

I certainly wish Superman could see that.

He'd sure get a kick out of it.

It's awfully nice of you
to help us. though.

Not at all. That's my business, my life.

Making children happy.

We'll see you tomorrow night
on Stage 3 at Colossal Studios.

- Good. good.
- We'd better hurry...

...if we're gonna contact
the other circus people.

- You go on in a couple of hours.
- That's right.

- Thanks again, Rollo.
- Good. good.

Nice to have met you. Crackers.

Think of that. Crackers.

Half a million dollars for the children.

How does this money come in?

Oh. different people send it in.
by pledge. by check. by cash.

- Cash. huh?
- Yeah.

I got a wonderful idea. Crackers.

Why don't you get back in the act.

You know something. Rollo?

- I think I will.
- Good. good.

Hi.

I'm looking for Mr. Kent.
He said he was coming over here.

Yeah. he left here a few minutes ago.

You might find him
somewhere else on the grounds.

Jeepers. a real clown's tent.

Hey. what do you use these for?

For cutting off neckties, what else?

All right. son.
Look for Mr. Kent somewhere else.

Rollo. what's that?

Those-- Those are my extra legs.

I strap those on behind me.
Oh. do they laugh at that one.

Yeah. that must be a riot.

Yeah. come on. let's go.

I want you to meet Hercules.
the strong man.

- No. I'd rather not.
- Let's go.

Well. why not? After all. an opportunity like
this only comes once in a lifetime. I hope.

You'll like Hercules.

Wait till you meet him.

He's a real nice guy.

Maybe-- Maybe we shouldn't disturb him.

He's probably been slaving
over a hot dumbbell all day.

He loves company. Come on in.

Get him away. get him away.
get him away.

Get him away. get him away.

Boy. that was close.
I hate those mouses.

Herky. I want you to meet
a friend of mine.

Jim Olsen. How are you?

I'm fine. I’m fine.

That's all right. I don't need this hand.

Sit down in that chair. kid.
I want a couple of words with my friend.

Herky. how'd you like to make
100 bucks?

Sure. I need a new suit.

- These are getting shiny in the pants.
- Listen. Take this kid...

...tie him up. gag him.
and keep him till midnight tomorrow.

Sure. Rollo. leave it to me.
I got no conscience.

This is a free trick. kid.

- Sit down.
- I just sat down.

This is the trick where
I put the chains around my chest...

...expand it until they break.

Just one thing here.

Aren't you putting these chains...

...around the wrong chest?

The lock.

There. Try that.

Well. Now. there's only one thing
the matter with this trick.

It doesn't work.

Now. will you kindly make with the key?

Why. that's a shame.

Looks like he must have lost the key.
Let me see what I can do.

Too bad. You shouldn't have seen
those legs. I can't take any chances.

Keep him here till midnight tomorrow.

Sure. Rollo.
Then you pay me 100 bucks?

Sure. Herky. I gotta get back.

Gee. that Rollo.

He's the funniest clown in the world.

Clark. we've really got to hurry.

I know. Jimmy's probably there already--

Clark. what's the matter?

Nothing. Nothing. Lois.

You'd better go on.
I want to see someone else.

No. I’m gonna see
that you get there on time.

- Lois. will you please--?
- No. and that is final.

All right.

Please let me get the dust
off my glasses, at least.

Now see what you've done.

You're not supposed to find them
with your feet.

I know. Lois. I’m sorry.
I have another pair in my office.

It’ll get them for you.
I'll meet you at the studio.

Would you. please?
Thanks. thanks a lot.

What you need is a full-time nursemaid.

Superman!

Hercules. why don't you pick on
someone your own size.

You're my size, Superman.

Jeepers. it was worth being chained
to get to see that.

How did you find me?
Did Mr. Kent tell you?

Something like that. Jimmy.
I'll see you later.

Hey. but Superman-- Wait.

You'll never get away
with this. Crackers.

Keep your voice down
if you want to live.

L've killed men for less
than I'll make with this.

I know what you're gonna do.

You're gonna take my place at the telethon
and somehow steal that money.

Smart boy. Rollo. There ought to be
a couple hundred thousand in cash.

Not bad for one night's work. is it?

Don't forget Mr. Kent.
I understand he's pretty smart.

I understand he's Superman's friend too.
but I'll still get away with it.

You're going to ruin
the whole clown profession.

What are the children going to think?

Don't do it. Crackers. For them.

Where have you been?
I've been looking all over.

It’ll explain later. Mr. Kent.

Right now. I think there's
a body in there.

- A body?
- That's what I said.

There. see?

Rollo. Rollo. are you all right?

- What happened?
- Oh. it was Crackers.

That fellow who was here earlier?

- Yeah.
- You mean there are two of you?

I mean. one of you and one of him?

Oh. then he was made up
to look like me. eh?

It was you.

I thought so.

- What's this all about? Do you know?
- I do now.

You see. Crackers came in here
and wanted some money.

I told him I had a month's salary coming
and I'd let him have $10.

Oh. I see. Then he impersonated you
and got all the money.

Which he must have done by now.

Well. there's no use crying
over spilt milk. is there?

- Do you feel all right?
- Oh. sure. sure. Fine.

You can't keep a good clown down.

Especially when he has to be
on telethon. eh?

Folks. this is the 22nd hour
of our telethon...

...and we haven't even reached
the halfway mark yet.

Please. folks. let's not let the kids down.

And now. the next guest on our program...

...is Sung Lo Too. the magician.

Ladies and gentlemen. Sung Lo Too.

Well. everyone holding up okay?

When this is over. I’m gonna pull
a Rip Van Winkle.

Kent. we've got to go over the top.
We've just got to.

And right now. it looks like it will take
more magic than he has up his sleeve.

Well. chief. they can't say
the Planet isn't trying.

This woman wanted to talk to Superman.

I don't understand it. ls there such a big
difference between Superman and me?

I guess I do understand it.

Thank you. Sung Lo Too.
for being with us.

Well. Mr. Kent. it's the folks out there
who can be the real magicians.

You know. every contribution...

...is the magic wand to send
an underprivileged youngster to camp.

- Thank you. and good night.
- Thank you.

And he's so right, folks.

Please send your contributions in
to Stage 3. Colossal Television Studios...

...or the Metropolis Daily Planet.

We're not making any progress.
The thermometer hasn't passed 200.000.

That was the hundredth request.

Everyone will send in big chunks of money
if Superman will make an appearance.

I know.
I thought he'd be here before now.

He's got to. That's all there is to it.

I'm going to hold you responsible, Kent.

Now. wait. There are certain
difficulties involved here--

Just what's so difficult about Superman
appearing on a telethon?

Especially when you're
master of ceremonies.

Isn't there any way
you can get him here. Clark?

Well. I hope so. Lo--

I’m not gonna worry about it now.
I’m starving. I’m gonna get a sandwich.

- Would you take over for me?
- Of course. Clark.

Thank you very much.

It's just not like Superman
to let us down.

Ladies and gentlemen. I know you've all
been expecting Superman to be here. but--

Superman! Now I know we'll make it.

I'm sorry to be late. Miss Lane.

Where did you come from?

Never mind. lt's all yours.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...as you know. I have made Metropolis
my headquarters.

And I've done my best
to give you a clean. healthy city.

Now I’m asking you to do your best.

Your best for many thousands
of children.

Children who will grow up to be
the citizens of this city.

And that's just about all there is to say.

So now I’m going to ask you to give.

As much as you can.
and as soon as you can.

Thank you very much.

You saved the day. Superman.

Now. with some help from Rollo.
we're sure to make it.

I hope so. Miss Lane.
Sincerely. I hope so.

- Yes? Yes. it really was Superman.
- Hello?

- Two dollars? Thank you.
- Yes.

- Yes. ma'am. Ten dollars? Thank you.
- Hello?

Listen to this. A thousand dollars
in the name of Superman.

Thank you very much.

Hello? Yes.

Thank you.

- Here you go.
- Sure nice of you to take over. Mr. Kent...

...while I grabbed a bite to eat.

Glad to do it.

Still don't know why
you insisted on wearing my cap.

I don't feel comfortable without it.

Well. I couldn't watch properly
without it, now. could I?

I hadn't thought of that.

- Well. thanks again.
- You bet.

Rollo. I was scared to death
you weren't gonna show.

Me. not show? Couldn't keep me away
with a team of horses.

- Good. Let's go.
- Five hundred dollars?

- Thank you.
- Five dollars?

- Clark. he was here. Superman was here.
- I know. Lois.

Why didn't you come out from behind
that sandwich and say hello?

You seemed to be doing all right.

I didn't feel very necessary.

Superman helped. but we still couldn't
have done it without you, Mr. Kent.

- Thanks. Jimmy.
- Most of the cash has come in envelopes.

I thought you'd like to see
how this contribution came.

From the employees of the aquarium.

Give these to the tabulator. Tim.

And keep counting money
as fast as it comes in.

People are bringing money
from every organization in town.

- Thank you very much.
- Yes. sir.

Thank you very much.

We made it.
The counters say we did it.

Clark. how wonderful.

This is a proud day.
I mean. night. for the Planet.

We'll announce it
as soon as Rollo finishes his act.

Are you through?
We have an announcement to make.

- Not yet. Kent. I’m just starting.
- What do you mean?

- Just this.
- Rollo. that isn't very funny.

But if you know what's good for you.
keep on laughing.

Make like it's part of the act.

Better do as he says. Lois.

Everybody will think it's a comic exit.
and that's the way I want it.

- Get that money in the bag.
- Come on. Lois.

- Hey. what is this?
- This is a heist. buddy. Keep quiet.

Behave yourself and nobody gets hurt.

Rollo. I'd never have believed this.

Got a surprise for you.

This isn't Rollo.

- Hey!
- Don't be a hero, you're not the type.

Call the police.

Great Caesar's ghost!
What's happening around here?

Hello.

Get me Inspector Henderson.

This is Clark Kent. At the telethon.

Oh. sure. I've been watching
the program here at the station.

Say. that clown was sure funny.

Well. that clown just stole
all of our cash.

He's armed and dangerous.
Send out an alarm.

What?

Alert all cars.

You better give up. Crackers.
They'll kill you. or kill me by mistake.

You used my name and my reputation
to steal money from the children.

It’ll get you for that.

Then come and get me.

Don't shoot. I’m Rollo.

He is not. I’m Rollo.

Hold your fire till we make sure
which is which.

You take care of the money.

- You are Rollo. aren't you?
- Yes. I’m Rollo.

Good boy. Come on.

You could only catch
one of us. Superman.

How did you know which one?

The kind of a man that you are
is what gave you away. Crackers.

I couldn't imagine Rollo
pushing anyone off a roof.

Not even you.

I guess I had it coming to me.

Anyway. I never was
half the clown you were, Rollo.

And now. ladies and gentlemen.
before we go off the air...

...l'd like to bring back once more.
Rollo the Clown.

From what the police said. Superman
saved more than the telethon tonight.

But let's give Clark and Rollo
a little credit too. Lois.
