FunTranscript
00:00I'm
00:06Faster than a speeding bullet
00:08More powerful than a locomotive
00:11Able to leap tall buildings at a single pound
00:17Look! Up in the sky!
00:23It's a bird! It's a plane!
00:26It's Superman!
00:30Superman! The man of steel!
00:32Superman!
00:34Superman! Marketed to Earth as an infant
00:36when the distant planet Krypton exploded
00:38and who, disguised as clock, can't buy a planet reporter for the Daily Planet
00:42fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and freedom
00:46with superpowers far beyond those ordinary mortals
00:50It's Superman! Super! Super! Super! Superman!
01:00The Big Top Circus is in Metropolis
01:12and a capacity crowd has turned out for the special performance
01:16sponsored by the Daily Planet to raise funds for the Metropolis Orphanage
01:20Now, spotlighted in the center ring, Superman, an extra added attraction
01:26performs feats of strength to the wild acclaim of the enthusiastic audience
01:30Seated in the stands
01:32A portable transmitter slung over her shoulder
01:34Lois Lane describes the action to a radio and television audience
01:38as she speaks into a hand microphone
01:40Isn't that amazing, ladies and gentlemen?
01:46And now, as a finale, the Man of Steel will wrestle Mr. and Mrs. Gigantic
01:52The two most fierce, untamed gorillas ever captured in the heart of Africa
01:58Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you
02:02that due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control
02:06the gorillas are not available to perform with Superman
02:10We can't imagine what could have happened
02:13Be sure to tune in to the Daily Planet news program at 5
02:17Until then, so long
02:19What happened to the gorillas?
02:22They've disappeared, Superman
02:24One minute they were in their cages
02:26The next minute they vanished
02:28That's strange
02:29What's more, last night, two giraffes disappeared
02:32And this morning, we found two camels missing
02:35I tell you, Superman
02:37I smell a rat
02:39I smell a story
02:41He doesn't look like one of the circus freaks
02:51Good grief!
02:57Are you playing hide and seek, Miss Lane?
02:59Oh, Superman
03:01I know what happened to those gorillas
03:03Look, over there
03:09Great Scott
03:10He reduced their size with a ray gun
03:12Look, now he's walking away with them
03:15You there
03:16Stay where you are
03:22He's vanished
03:23He... he made himself invisible
03:25But... but how?
03:27And why is he after the animals?
03:29Not just animals
03:31Not just animals
03:32But take earth creatures of every type
03:36Including man and woman
03:38You are perfect specimens
03:40I'm taking you with me
03:43Oh, no!
03:44Stand back, Miss Lane
03:45This is a shield of force
03:50No power in the universe can penetrate it
03:55This is impossible
03:58This is impossible
03:59Now, I take you
04:02Both of you
04:04Superman, look!
04:19The circus gorillas
04:22And in the next case, two tigers
04:25And beyond them, two camels
04:27Looks like a space traveling Noah's Ark
04:29Who are you?
04:33Where do you come from?
04:35I am Brainiac
04:37From the planet Mega
04:40Planet Mega?
04:41There's no life on Mega
04:43No living creatures are known to have survived Mega's atomic wars
04:47Only one man
04:50The brilliant Professor Hekla survived
04:53He put me together
04:55I am a computer
04:58A computer?
05:00Yes, Professor Hekla programmed me to come here and collect specimens of Earth creatures
05:07To repopulate Mega
05:09When we arrive there, you will be restored to normal size
05:15Enough talk
05:17Don't worry, Miss Lane
05:19That ray reduced my size
05:21But I still retain my superpowers
05:23Watch
05:24Watch out for him, Superman
05:27Now you must be destroyed
05:34I have been programmed to destroy any creature that causes trouble
05:39Superman, please do something
05:42Something
05:43I can't get through his force shield
05:46But wait
05:48He's a computer, eh?
05:52So, he's made of wires and transistors
05:55Operates electronically
05:58I know how to stop him
05:59How?
06:00Your portable transmitter
06:01Turn on the high frequencies
06:02Full blast
06:03Hurry
06:04You jammed the circuits
06:09Now I'm gonna turn Brainiac into a pocket-sized computer
06:17Watch
06:18He's gone
06:20He's gone
06:21Made himself invisible again
06:22He just left through that door
06:25Quickly
06:26Stand in front of the ray gun, Lois
06:28It's time we grew up again
06:33Come on
06:35I'll take you back to Metropolis now
06:37And then notify our space scientists
06:39They'll want to examine this equipment, I'm sure
06:42Oh my gosh
06:43What happened?
06:44Brainiac, or Professor Heckler
06:47Must have sent a destruct signal from outer space
06:49Too bad
06:52What's up, Lois?
06:53Nothing much
06:55I just beat the great Clark Kent on another scoop
06:59Please, Lois
07:00Don't go out of your way to make me feel small
07:03Again
07:14In his secret observatory near Metropolis
07:19The world's most brilliant criminal scientist, Lex Luthor
07:22Projects a tubular beam of light toward the bright star, Luminium
07:26Then
07:30Welcome, Luminians
07:32I am Lex Luthor
07:35Do not touch us
07:36We are composed of pure laser light
07:39We vaporize whatever we touch
07:41With any part of our bodies
07:43Except the souls of our beings
07:46Perfect
07:47Now, together
07:48We shall control the planet Earth
07:51But first, we must destroy Superman
07:54Here's my plan
07:56Later, at the office of the Daily Planet
07:59Superman, in the guise of mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent
08:02Recees an urgent phone call from cub reporter Jimmy Olsen
08:06Wait, Jimmy, slow down
08:08First, where are you?
08:09At Metropolis Airport
08:11And like I said, it's panic time here
08:12Tell Mr. White
08:13Okay, Jimmy
08:14Goodbye
08:16Harry can wait
08:18This is a job for Superman
08:21Up, up, and away
08:31Destroy
08:32Ah, the man of steel
08:48Luthor
08:49Destroy
08:50What's the matter with you, I said destroy him
08:55But he does not burn
08:57We cannot vaporize him
08:59Come with me
09:01Great galaxy, this is like grasping moonbeams
09:05But you're no moonbeam, Luthor
09:07Let's go
09:08Luminians, destroy the control tower
09:10Hope you don't get tired, Superman
09:15Superman
09:17I thought you could use these steel girdings
09:19You bet I can
09:20Thanks, Jimmy
09:22That should hold it safely until the workmen fix it permanently
09:27I'm going to find those Luminians and turn them off
09:31Up, up, and away
09:33I'll show you glowing goops
09:36Something that has more power than your whole planet
09:40Kryptonite, the only thing that can destroy Superman
09:44Hmm, must be lined with lead
09:47A typical Luthor trick
09:51Kryptonite, I'll need a shield
09:53Away
09:54Now in a nearby junkyard
09:56The man of steel finds a discarded pipe made of lead
10:00The only substance that can shield him from the deadly rays of Kryptonite
10:04Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
10:06With this we can keep Superman out of
10:09Out of what, Luthor?
10:11Luminians, destroy his shield
10:16The Kryptonite
10:18Must get out
10:20Up, up, and away
10:24Our combined power is greater than...
10:31Say, what's happening to you?
10:33When your sun comes up, we lose our power to burn
10:38When it is night here again, our power returns
10:42Very well, we'll wait until nightfall
10:45Then we'll show the world that Superman is powerless against us
10:50Meanwhile, getting dark, Jimmy
10:53And there have been no further reports about those Luminians, Mr. Kent
10:57Then where do they get all their power?
10:59I just don't know
11:00That very question has been on my mind all day, Jimmy
11:03Jimmy, Lois Lane is due in on the Metropolis night train
11:07Drive now to the railroad station and pick her up, will you?
11:09Oh, sure, Chief
11:10I'll take the shortcut through the park
11:12I wish he wouldn't call me Chief
11:13Yes!
11:14That must be a...
11:16It is!
11:17Keepers
11:18After him!
11:19I've got to get away from them!
11:20The holy cow!
11:21Here they come!
11:22My Superman signal watch!
11:23Why didn't I think of that before?
11:24Jimmy's alarm!
11:25Maybe the Luminians are on the loose again
11:28Vaporize the pole!
11:29Burn it!
11:30Luthor
11:31Luthor
11:32Release him!
11:33Not on your Super Luminians!
11:34I've got to get away from them!
11:35The holy cow!
11:36Here they come!
11:37My Superman signal watch!
11:38Why didn't I think of that before?
11:39Jimmy's alarm!
11:40Maybe the Luminians are on the loose again
11:42Vaporize the pole!
11:43Burn it!
11:44Luthor
11:45Release him!
11:46Not on your Super Life!
11:47You can't touch me while I've got this kryptonite!
11:48So be wise!
11:49Keep your distance!
11:50Guess I'll have to!
11:51For a while!
11:52So Olsen, you came looking for us, huh?
11:55Lois Lane is dead!
11:56No!
11:57No!
11:58No!
11:59No!
12:00No!
12:01No!
12:02No!
12:03No!
12:04No!
12:05No!
12:06No!
12:07No!
12:08No!
12:09No!
12:10No!
12:11No!
12:12No!
12:13No!
12:14No!
12:15No!
12:16I'll do it on the night express and...
12:18Good!
12:19Good!
12:20You are going to meet that train, my boy!
12:22Or perhaps I should say, the train's going to meet you!
12:27Ha ha ha ha ha!
12:29See if the pin on this land mine is pulled out, the mine explodes when this switch pops up
12:36like this!
12:37Unless...
12:38something...
12:39or somebody...
12:41holds it down!
12:43You had better lie still, Olsen.
12:45The moment you take your weight off that spring switch, the mine will go boom!
12:51Now, in a few seconds, the night express will pass over this trestle.
12:56Superman will undoubtedly come to rescue you!
12:59And when he lifts you off the track, the mine will detonate!
13:04The trestle and the train will be destroyed!
13:08Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
13:09Great Scott, that's Jimmy, lying in the path of the train!
13:22Down to him!
13:23Down!
13:24In a blur of red and blue, Superman streaks down to save his young friend, unaware of the
13:29booby trap set by the villainous Luthor!
13:32But suddenly, the Man of Steel super-hearing picks up Luthor's smug comment!
13:37Ha ha ha!
13:38Watch when he lifts the boy!
13:40The trestle will blow up!
13:42Blow up?
13:43Great Scott, spotting an abandoned railroad spur on the block!
13:47The Man of Steel rips up a section of track and streaks toward his young friend!
13:52Don't move, Jimmy!
14:03Hold still, Jimmy!
14:10There!
14:11Luthor will never use that again!
14:14Whew!
14:15Thanks, Superman!
14:16Up!
14:17Up!
14:18And away!
14:19Boiled again by the Man of Steel!
14:21Since Superman cannot harm us, we will waste no more time on Superman!
14:26Listen, you incandescent idiot!
14:28I'm running this show!
14:32Hey!
14:33Now wait a minute!
14:34No!
14:35Don't!
14:36No!
14:37No!
14:38No!
14:39No!
14:40No!
14:41Please!
14:42Please!
14:43Please!
14:44No!
14:45No!
14:46No!
14:47No!
14:48No!
14:49Please!
14:50Please!
14:51Fiery friends are making things hot for him.
15:01No.
15:02No, please.
15:03Please.
15:21No way out.
15:30Help.
15:32Somebody.
15:34Help.
15:35Criptonite or not, I've got to pull that poor fish out of the frying pan.
15:40I'll borrow this.
15:45Now to get rid of it.
15:51Thanks, Superman.
15:58I'll see that Luthor is placed in a maximum security cell block.
16:02No.
16:02Please, Inspector.
16:04There's no maximum security against those Luminians.
16:07I'm afraid that's true, Inspector.
16:10Let me work with Superman.
16:13I'm sure together we can come up with some way to stop them.
16:17Good idea, Inspector.
16:18Inspector, I'll be responsible for returning him to you after we've disposed of his two glowing guests.
16:24Well, if you say so, Superman.
16:26Okay.
16:28Meanwhile, in the observatory, the temporarily powerless creatures contact their star,
16:33requesting a hundred more Luminians to be delivered after nightfall.
16:37At the same time, in the astronomy lab at Metropolis University,
16:42Superman and Luthor, an incredible team,
16:44race the clock in an effort to save mankind from destruction by the Luminians.
16:50If somehow you could block lumineous light before it hits our atmosphere,
16:55we could prevent them from importing more Luminians.
16:59Away!
16:59The sun is setting.
17:03Turn on the laser pipeline.
17:10Now, back to Earth.
17:17Well, Superman, did you do it?
17:19Watch, Luthor.
17:20In a few minutes, you'll see Luminia be eclipsed by an asteroid.
17:26Superman!
17:27Stall him!
17:28Our power is beginning to return.
17:31Don't be foolish.
17:32Climb into that laser gun and Luthor will send you back.
17:35No!
17:35In five seconds, our star will appear in the sky.
17:39Then hundreds of Luminians will come to join us.
17:42Not a chance.
17:43I'm going to dismantle this laser gun.
17:46Look!
17:46Luminia!
17:47Our power has returned!
17:49Superman, I thought...
17:50First, we will destroy Luthor.
17:53No!
17:54Help!
17:54I thought you were going to eclipse Luminia, Superman.
17:57Don't worry, Luthor.
17:59Watch and see.
18:00At this very moment, far out in space,
18:02the asteroid in its new orbit blocks the light of the laser star.
18:09You see, Luthor?
18:11We...
18:11We have lost our power.
18:14Forever.
18:15As long as you're on this planet, you'll remain dark and powerless.
18:20Luminia's light will never again reach Earth.
18:23Have mercy!
18:24We're sorry!
18:26Send us back to Luminia!
18:28All right.
18:29Set the controls, Luthor.
18:31I'll reassemble the laser gun.
18:32Controls are set, Superman.
18:34But that asteroid will be in the path of the beam.
18:37I'll take care of that.
18:38Okay, you two.
18:40All aboard for Luminia.
18:41Quickly.
18:43Fire away.
18:45I'll be right back.
18:47Up!
18:49Up!
18:49And away!
18:54Bon voyage!
18:58And that locks the door on the Luminians.
19:01Now is my chance to escape.
19:08Superman, you're back so soon?
19:11Yes, indeed.
19:12Okay, let's go, partner.
19:14You've got a date at the state prison.
19:17Up!
19:17And away!
19:21Luminians?
19:22But how?
19:23Relax, Mr. Cantini.
19:24And I are trying out some of the latest fashions.
19:27Clothes that glow in the dark.
19:28You like them?
19:29Not at all.
19:30Not at all.
19:48Midnight in Washington, D.C.,
19:50where, in a laboratory of the Nuclear Science Institute,
19:53a figure sneaks in the darkness.
19:56It is Icy Harris,
19:57a specialist in stealing radioactive isotopes.
20:00Empty.
20:02Bah!
20:03Galaxy 4.
20:05Never heard of that one.
20:10Oh, this one isn't empty.
20:13Suddenly, Icy Harris is transformed into a parasite of power.
20:17A man capable of drawing physical power from other human beings.
20:21Guard!
20:23Guard!
20:24Guard!
20:27Let me go.
20:28Let me go.
20:29Welcome, I'll be...
20:31He's fainted.
20:34I have, like, absorbed some of his strength.
20:41It happened again.
20:43Now I have the strength like four men.
20:46Nothing can stop me from becoming a Superman of crime.
20:51Boy, I feel as strong as a hundred men.
20:56As Superman and the guise of mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent
21:00walks past the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
21:03a police van races to the scene.
21:07You!
21:08Hold it!
21:09Get your hands up!
21:13Not so fast.
21:16Astonished, Clark senses that somehow
21:18this strange man is draining him of his fabulous super strength,
21:22and Icy suddenly realizes he has hit the jackpot.
21:26You must be...
21:28You are Superman in disguise!
21:32Don't be too sure.
21:35What luck!
21:36I'm going to absorb all your powers,
21:39even if it kills you!
21:41You must get away!
21:45I stole enough strength from him to lift the locomotive!
21:49I must get more!
21:52Much more!
21:55Up!
21:56Up!
21:57And away!
21:59He almost drained me.
22:02But I feel better now.
22:05Uh-oh.
22:06There he goes.
22:09He's still got plenty of strength left,
22:11and I want it.
22:12All of it!
22:13I must find a way to bring him back.
22:19Ah!
22:20I've got a perfect plan.
22:24I'll create disasters, catastrophes.
22:28Then that super-noble nitwit will try to stop me!
22:35Stand back, everybody!
22:38I'm going to destroy the Washington Monument!
22:40Great Scott!
22:45He's hurled that missile at the monument.
22:48Hope I've regained enough strength to save it!
22:54With super-effort,
22:55the Man of Steel tilts the 81,000-ton structure
22:59as the missile sails by
23:01and flashes harmlessly into the tidal basin.
23:03Now,
23:05I must stop that fiend.
23:07Where is he?
23:08At the airport.
23:10Great Scott!
23:11He's going to throw that plane
23:13into an oncoming passenger jet!
23:16Got to catch that plane!
23:25It worked!
23:27Now the super-fool is coming for me!
23:30Now I'll drain you
23:36of the rest of your super-strength!
23:39Okay.
23:40Here's a down payment.
23:43Try again!
23:45Come on!
23:46Right here!
23:48Come now!
23:49You still have strength left!
23:52That's it,
23:53old man of steel!
23:55Give it to me!
23:56All of it!
23:57He's destroying me
24:02with my own strength!
24:08Imagine
24:08the great Superman
24:10from the planet Krypton
24:12beaten by I.C. Harris
24:15and ordinary Earth-man!
24:20Earth-man!
24:22Of course,
24:23now I know what to do.
24:25must give him
24:26what he wants.
24:29All my strength!
24:31Like an exhausted
24:32prizefighter,
24:33Superman goes into a clinch
24:34and hangs on,
24:36deliberately letting
24:37his last ounce of energy
24:38flow into the body
24:39of the evil parasite.
24:42Good boy!
24:43Now I've got it all!
24:46Now I...
24:48Oh no!
24:48You...
24:53You tricked me!
24:56I've absorbed
24:57too much strength!
25:00I...
25:00I'm overloaded!
25:03Let me go!
25:05Please!
25:06I can't stand it!
25:09I'll burn!
25:10Superman!
25:26What...
25:26What in the world
25:27made him explode?
25:29Greed.
25:30His greed for power.
25:33He didn't realize
25:34that an Earth-man's body
25:36was too frail
25:37to contain
25:38the superpower
25:39of a man
25:40from Krypton.
25:50We'll be right back
25:52for another
25:53exciting adventure
25:54with Superman!
25:55Superman!
25:57Superman!
25:58Superman!
25:59Superman!
26:00Superman!
26:00Superman!
26:01Superman!
26:01Superman!
26:02Superman!
26:03Superman!
26:04Superman!
26:05Superman!
26:06Superman!
26:16Unseen bypasses-by.
26:18An unattended
26:19baby carriage
26:19is suddenly pushed
26:20into the busy traffic
26:21of Hillside Avenue
26:22in Metropolis.
26:24Quickly it picks up
26:24momentum.
26:25Soon it is hurtling
26:26towards certain destruction
26:27in a busy intersection
26:29at the bottom
26:29of a steep hill.
26:31Among the horrified
26:32onlookers
26:33at the foot of the hill
26:33is Superman!
26:35Superman disguised
26:36as Clark Kent.
26:38Great Scott!
26:39This is a job
26:40for Superman!
26:42It's going to crash
26:43into that spot!
26:48What?
26:50It's...
26:50It's just a doll!
26:52Yes,
26:53I saw that.
26:55What a mean,
26:56cruel joke.
26:57I'd like to dig up
26:58the worm
26:59who thinks
26:59this is a funny prank.
27:02Oh boy,
27:05what fun!
27:06I even fooled
27:07Superman!
27:09Clark,
27:10I was afraid
27:11you forgot
27:11our lunch date.
27:12Sorry, Lois,
27:13but I...
27:14Hey!
27:14Look out above!
27:15Clark!
27:20I've always
27:22suspected it.
27:23You really
27:24are Superman.
27:26It's just paper.
27:30Ha ha!
27:32Clark,
27:32is this someone's
27:33idea of a joke?
27:34What an experience.
27:43Really shook me up.
27:44Mind if I take
27:45a rain check
27:46on that lunch?
27:46Of course, Clark.
27:48See you later.
27:53A joker, eh?
27:55Well,
27:55maybe Superman
27:56can give him
27:57the punchline.
28:02All right,
28:03Mr. Prankster,
28:04let's go.
28:05Superman,
28:06have I been
28:07having fun?
28:08We'll see how
28:08funny you think
28:09it is when
28:10you're in jail.
28:10In jail?
28:11Me?
28:13For what?
28:14For disorderly
28:15conduct,
28:16which is a
28:16misdemeanor,
28:17that's what.
28:18Oh, yeah?
28:19Can you prove
28:20it was me?
28:21Have you got
28:21witnesses,
28:22legal evidence
28:23of any kind?
28:25Well, no.
28:27I haven't.
28:29Then bye-bye,
28:31super poop.
28:32I'm on my way
28:33to the trick shop
28:34because, man,
28:35I'm really hot today.
28:38Hmm.
28:40He's hot, eh?
28:42Guess I'll just
28:43have to cool him off.
28:51Trick shop,
28:52two miles.
28:52Almost there.
29:01Ah, perfect.
29:08I hate to block
29:09this lovely view
29:10with paper.
29:13One good view
29:15deserves another.
29:15there.
29:18Well, that would
29:19fool even me.
29:22And now we
29:22switch the road
29:23side.
29:29Trick shop,
29:30left.
29:31Ha-ha!
29:31Giddy up,
29:32scooter!
29:32Are you still hot,
29:42prankster?
29:43Superman,
29:44you did this.
29:45You, you.
29:46Temper, temper.
29:48Like most practical
29:49jokers,
29:50you can dish it out,
29:51but you can't take it.
29:52Ha-ha-ha!
29:54I'll get even.
29:56You'll see.
29:57Hmm?
29:57Hmm?
29:58Hmm?
29:58Hmm?
29:58Hmm?
29:59Hmm?
29:59Hmm?
30:00Hmm?
30:00Hmm?
30:00Hmm?
30:00Hmm?
30:01Hmm?
30:01Now to see
30:06what he's up to
30:07next.
30:09There's a great
30:10gag, buddy.
30:11A fake fire hydrant
30:12looks just like
30:12the real thing.
30:13Hey,
30:13I got a great idea.
30:15Can you mount
30:15sky rockets
30:16inside this
30:17fire hydrant?
30:18Sure I can.
30:23Uh,
30:24now remember,
30:25you gotta keep
30:26the powder dry.
30:28Dry, eh?
30:29I'll see
30:30that powder
30:30won't stay dry
30:31very long.
30:44All set,
30:45skyrockets you there.
30:46Now, what are you
30:46gonna do with this?
30:47Gonna put it
30:48on a downtown street
30:49and turn in
30:50a fire alarm,
30:51see?
30:52Then when the firemen
30:53try to unscrew
30:54this cap,
30:56whoosh,
30:56bam,
30:57pow!
30:58Ha-ha,
30:58get it!
30:59Wow,
31:00I can't wait
31:01to get to
31:01Metropolis
31:02so long!
31:06Yikes!
31:15Still can't take a joke, eh?
31:18What's funny?
31:19You call that a sense of humor?
31:21I admit it's not dry humor,
31:24but it's a great deal
31:25funnier than your jokes.
31:26Is that so?
31:28Funnier than pushing
31:29the baby carriage
31:30down the hill
31:30and dropping
31:31that bony safe?
31:32You did those things?
31:33You know it.
31:35Well,
31:36you just did
31:36another funny thing.
31:38Like what?
31:39You just confessed.
31:41This is a microphone
31:42and this
31:43is a tape recorder.
31:46Oh,
31:47that's a dirty trick!
31:49You ought to know.
31:52You're the expert
31:52in dirty tricks.
31:54Let's go.
31:58What cruel tricks.
32:00I think this prankster
32:01must be a mean,
32:02dried up old man.
32:05Don't you agree, Clark?
32:06Oh,
32:06he's mean all right,
32:08but I don't think
32:09he's dried up
32:10yet.
32:19Streaking through
32:24the vast reaches
32:25of space
32:26toward re-entry
32:26in Earth's atmosphere,
32:28a Venus space probe
32:29capsule narrowly
32:30misses collision
32:31with a small asteroid
32:32scant seconds
32:33before a maverick meteor
32:35crashes into the asteroid
32:36with blinding
32:37explosive force.
32:39Caught in the backlash
32:40of powerful waves
32:41of radioactivity
32:42unleashed by the fusion
32:44of the two bodies,
32:45the capsule
32:46turns phosphorescent,
32:47falters,
32:48and begins to roll
32:49end over end,
32:51hurtling towards
32:52certain destruction.
32:54Inside the capsule,
32:56a frightened chimpanzee
32:57in the flight suit
32:58of an astronaut
32:59lies strapped
33:00to a reclining chain.
33:04Meanwhile,
33:05in the office
33:06of Daily Planet
33:06editor Perry White,
33:08Superman,
33:09in his guise
33:09of Clark Kent,
33:10has been following
33:11the reports
33:12from Venus Probe
33:13headquarters
33:13with Lois Lane.
33:16Great, Scott!
33:16Without controls,
33:18it'll burn up
33:19on re-entry
33:19into the atmosphere.
33:20That's for sure.
33:21Wow, I hate to think
33:22of the poor chimp
33:23who's trapped
33:23in that flying coffin.
33:25Poor Toto.
33:27Poor, poor little chimp.
33:29He was so sweet.
33:32Where are you going, Kent?
33:33Be right back, Chief.
33:36This is a job
33:37for Superman.
33:40Up, up,
33:41and away!
33:42Hey!
33:42Hey!
33:42Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:43Hey!
33:44Hey!
33:44Hey!
33:45Hey!
33:45Hey!
33:45Hey!
33:46Hey!
34:04Phew!
34:05Hope the capsule
34:06wasn't in the path
34:07of that space junk.
34:09Ah, there it is.
34:10Now to catch it
34:11without jarring Toto.
34:13Hey!
34:13Hey!
34:13Hey!
34:14Hey!
34:14Hey!
34:14Hey!
34:15It's not a moment too soon.
34:36This is Lois Lane at the NASA Man Space Station.
34:41As you can see, the ground crew is preparing to open the hatch of the crippled Venus strobe capsule,
34:47which Superman has just brought safely back to Earth.
34:51Now I'm sure you all join me in the fervent hope that everything is A-OK with Toto,
34:57the darling little chimp I've told you so much about in the Daily Planet.
35:01Good grief! Something seems to have gone wrong.
35:04Better have a look at what's going on in there with my X-ray vision.
35:08Great Krypton.
35:09Can that be Toto, the little chimp?
35:17It's incredible. Impossible.
35:21Sweet little Toto, the probable chimp, is turning into a gargantua.
35:27Is it possible that whatever happened to damage the capsule in space
35:38has done this awful thing to little Toto?
35:45No, Toto!
35:46The weakness, the pain, can only be Kryptonite.
36:00Must have been Kryptonite Meteor, fusing with Uranium Asteroid.
36:08Knocked out capsule.
36:09Catalysis affected Toto.
36:14Nothing else can do this to me.
36:19Now hear this.
36:21All personnel, clear the area at once.
36:24Run for the nearest shelter.
36:26We open fire on the monster in ten seconds.
36:30Please, Toto, put me down.
36:34Please!
36:34Fire!
36:35Fire!
36:44Hold your fire!
36:58No dice, Superman.
37:00Our orders are to destroy that beast before he wrecks this space.
37:03I know how to stop him.
37:05Just give me a little time.
37:06All right, two minutes.
37:08That's all.
37:08Agreed.
37:09Kryptonite rays can't penetrate lead.
37:19So this lead-foil roof insulation is just what I need to shield me from the ape's eyes.
37:27Prepare to fire a rocket!
37:29Hold it!
37:30Hold your fire!
37:39Now, big fella, here's a ticket to the land of knowledge.
37:52And yet, yet, yet, yet, astro-chimp returns to normal size as Kryptonite effects wear off.
38:01Great scoop, Lois.
38:02Thanks, Chief.
38:03But I couldn't have done it without Superman.
38:05Couldn't have done what, Lois?
38:07Kent, where in the blazes have you been?
38:09If I, uh...
38:10Good thing you didn't cover that Toto story with me.
38:13You'd have been terrified.
38:15You're probably right, Lois.
38:17You're probably right.
38:19In a mountain hideout near Metropolis, the Toy Man, one of Superman's arch enemies, prepares to test an awesome weapon.
38:39The moment has come.
38:41Soon, all Metropolis will quake before my latest and greatest toy.
38:48I sure hope it works, Toy Man.
38:50Let's find out.
38:52Right now.
38:53From the remote control transmitter, radio waves span out to another section of the cavern, activating a huge robot insect.
39:07Minutes later, at Metropolis Zoo, an object plummets down out of the sky.
39:13In the offices of the Daily Planet, the distant commotion reaches the super ears of reporter Clark Kent.
39:32This is a job for Superman.
39:39Up, up, and away!
39:43It works, Toy Man.
39:44It works great!
39:46Yes.
39:47Let's hang it.
39:48Look who's coming to spoil the party.
39:50That's where the trouble is.
40:05Drop that, Superman.
40:07I'd better test my gadget elsewhere.
40:10Watch what happens now at Metropolis Stadium.
40:13Great shot.
40:26Don't panic.
40:28Stay calm.
40:32That will hold it safely.
40:35Now to catch up to that robot insect.
40:37Away!
40:39Rocketing through the sky, Superman narrows the gap between himself and the retreating,
40:43robot insect.
40:46Hey, Toy Man!
40:47You better do something before he catches it!
40:51Let's see.
40:53It'll do him no good.
40:58Great galaxy.
41:00Holy smokes!
41:02Why'd you blow it up, Toy Man?
41:05It was only a test model, and Superman would have destroyed it anyhow.
41:10But the next one will contain a surprise for him.
41:15Kryptonite?
41:16Boy, you know what that does to him.
41:19I do indeed.
41:22Now, on to my big project.
41:26Next day, at the Metropolis nuclear fission plant, the Toy Man strikes again.
41:32You're wasting your time.
41:35Bullets cannot pierce my toy bug.
41:47Time to put this toy away.
41:50We'll see who puts whom away, Superman.
41:53Oh, no!
41:58Oh!
41:59Kryptonite!
42:03Surprise!
42:04Eh, Superman?
42:06Oh!
42:07Infernal weakness!
42:11Dizziness!
42:12Oh!
42:12Now, we can do what we came here for.
42:18Watch my lovely toy make us rich.
42:22There it goes.
42:27Tearing into the radium vault.
42:33And here it comes, laden with loot.
42:37Look at that.
42:39Each lead box contains a fortune in radium.
42:42Lead.
42:47The only substance that Kryptonite cannot penetrate.
42:53Maybe I can plug that bug with this lead.
42:59Hey!
43:00What's Superman doing?
43:03Hmm.
43:04He needs another dose of Kryptonite.
43:08Go get him, bug!
43:10Here go!
43:13Bullseye!
43:14You pay for that, Superman!
43:17Still feeling the weakening effects from exposure to Kryptonite,
43:21the Man of Steel fights defensively against the vicious attack of the toy man's deadly robot insect.
43:28Got to stall for time.
43:31Get my strength back.
43:33Again and again, Superman supports the killer robot's heart slots with evasive action.
43:44Now, my friend, I think you've had it.
43:48Your time is up!
43:49Okay, toy man, now it's your turn.
44:01No, Superman!
44:02Don't!
44:03Stop that!
44:04You'll have lots of time to build more toys, toy man, in the prison workshop.
44:12Up, up, and away!
44:13Great job, Kent.
44:19If I didn't know better, I think you were right there when it happened.
44:23How do you know I wasn't?
44:25Eh, Chief?
44:26On assignment to interview movies...
44:41...
44:42...
44:42...
44:43...
44:44...
