00:13Faster than a speeding bullet.
00:17More powerful than a locomotive.
00:21Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.
00:24Look, up in the sky.
00:25It's a bird.
00:26It's a plane.
00:27It's Superman.
00:28Yes, it's Superman.
00:29A strange visitor from another planet
00:31who came to Earth with powers and abilities
00:33far beyond those of mortal men.

00:39bend steel in his bare hands,
00:42and who, disguised as Clark Kent,
00:44mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,

01:03The End
01:04Happy birthday, Mr. Olson.
01:26Huh? Oh, thanks.
01:28How did he know it was my birthday?
01:30And how did he know my name?
01:31I guess you're getting to be quite a celebrity.
01:34This is something you two cooked up.
01:36Still makes a guy feel good.
01:37The guy's birthday only comes once a year.
01:39Now, there's a sharp observation.
01:42Marco and Freddy, novelty act.
01:44Well, I wonder which one is the trained seal, Marco or Freddy.
01:47I bet it's not a trained seal act.
01:49I said they're acrobats. What do you say, Mr. Kent?
01:51You're both wrong. It's a ventriloquist act.
01:53Pretty good, I understand.
01:54Well, here we go.
02:01Thank you and good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
02:02Freddy, say good evening.
02:05What's good about him?
02:06Well, say good evening to the nice people.
02:08Oh, what's nice about him?
02:11Freddy, you're being difficult.
02:13Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
02:16Well, I'll tell you, Marco.
02:17That bed, trouble is, it's full of snow.
02:22What's snow?
02:22Nothing.
02:23What's snow with you?
02:24I understand that you missed school today.
02:30Why was that?
02:31I, uh, I had a toothache.
02:33Well, did you go to the dentist?
02:35No, why should I?
02:36The one that ate for the one he jerked out yesterday.
02:39Under the apple tree.
02:41What's that?
02:42I said under the old apple tree.
02:44Freddy, this is the third time this week you've missed school.
02:47What's the matter? Don't you like school?
02:49Oh, I can take it or leave it.
02:50I, uh, think I'll leave it.
02:52Down by the old mill stream.
02:55Down by the old mill stream.
02:57Down by...
02:58Down by the old mill stream.
02:59Missing school so often.
03:00No wonder you're still in the third grade.
03:02Why a boy 14?
03:0311 and a half.
03:05A boy 14?
03:0611 and a half.
03:08All right, all right.
03:0911 and a half.
03:10A boy 11 and a half.
03:11Shouldn't...
03:13Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.
03:17What happened?
03:19Is that all there is to the act?
03:21Something went wrong.
03:22Clark, I had a funny feeling before he rushed off
03:24that he and the dummy were talking at the same time.
03:26I know that's impossible, but...
03:28Impossible or not, they were.
03:30Come on, let's go back and see Marco.
03:35I'll give you all the best lines.
03:36All the best gags.
03:38That isn't good enough.
03:39You have to add words of your own.
03:41What are you trying to do?
03:42Take over the act?
03:44Mr. Marco, can I see you a minute?
03:45Oh, yes, come in.
03:47We're from the Daily Planet.
03:48Oh, you were out front?
03:49Then you heard?
03:50Yes, that's why we'd like to ask you.
03:51Look at him sitting there so innocently.
03:53In the shade of the old apple tree.
03:55Down by the old mill stream.
03:5611 and a half.
03:58He knows he's 14.
03:59He's been 14 for the last 10 years.
04:00It wasn't Freddy's fault, Mr. Marco.
04:03Someone else put those words in his mouth.
04:05Someone else?
04:06But who?
04:06Obviously, someone out there in the theater.
04:08But why would anyone...
04:10Oh, of course, to ruin my act.
04:12Someone's scrupulous right when you're jealous of my success.
04:14Can you think of anyone?
04:16Well, there's...
04:17No, no real performance too bad long.
04:20Has anything like this ever happened before?
04:23Yes, about a month ago.
04:24We were playing Portersville.
04:25I thought Freddy was trying to take over the act.
04:27I had a long talk with him afterwards, and he promised.
04:30Oh, but of course, it wasn't Freddy at all.
04:32But what were the words he added then?
04:34Well, he kept saying he was only 10 years old.
04:36And I don't remember the rest.
04:37And there's no explanation you can think of?
04:41None at all.
04:42It's all very, very strange.
04:43Well, thank you, Mr. Marco.
04:45If anything like this happens again, you'll let us know, won't you?
04:47We may not be able to do much, but we can help a little.
04:50I'll let you know.
04:51Awesome.
05:04You set for us, Chief?
05:05Yes, come on in.
05:06Uh, Lois, Kent, do you remember that business a while back with an armored car?
05:12The one from Green's Incorporated?
05:14Remember it?
05:15Are you kidding, Chief?
05:16An armored car with a half a million in cold cash just doesn't disappear every day.
05:19Got any new leads, Chief?
05:21No, I haven't.
05:22All the police know is what they started out with.
05:25The car was last seen heading onto the turnpike for Watsonville.
05:28And never showed up at the other end.
05:30Vanished into thin air.
05:31That's about the size of it.
05:32Now, here's what I want.
05:33Hop out to Green's and see what's happened there since the disappearance.
05:37Maybe there's been a shake-up.
05:39Extra precautions.
05:40Security measures.
05:41Things like that.
05:42Talk to Harry Green, the president.
05:43Get pictures.
05:44I want a background yarn for the Sunday supplement.
05:47Something I can use in two parts.
05:48Right.
05:49Oh, and don't forget.
05:53Give me plenty of pictures.
05:55Okay.
05:57Head just a little higher, Mr. Green.
05:59That's it.
06:00Now, hold it.
06:03Now, for one of you and your secretary, Mr.
06:05Davis.
06:05No, no.
06:06I...
06:06Come on, Davis.
06:07It doesn't hurt.
06:08Now, if you'll just stand there at the corner of the desk and hand Mr. Green a paper.
06:13That's it.
06:13Hold it.
06:15Now, Mr. Green, those extra precautions you were telling us about.
06:20Well, since that amazing robbery, we've worked out a system which is absolutely foolproof.
06:24Neither the guard nor the driver of the car knows until the very last minute what time to take off or what route to follow.
06:31They operate under sealed orders.
06:32Sealed orders.
06:33That sounds interesting.
06:34There's a car due to take off right now.
06:36I'll show you how it works.
06:38Have the guard on car 11 report to me here.
06:41Davis, get me the envelope for car 11.
06:43Davis and I work out the routes the night before.
06:46We only make one copy.
06:48Seal it in an envelope and lock the envelope in my private files.
06:52No one has keys but Davis and myself.
06:56Guard's here, Mr. Green.
06:57Send him in.
07:03Good morning, Chuck.
07:04Morning, sir.
07:05Here are your instructions.
07:06Start it once for the state commercial bank.
07:08Finish loading at 11.30, then open the envelope.
07:11Is that clear?
07:11Yes, sir.
07:12Very well.
07:13I'll take off now.
07:19That does sound like a foolproof scheme.
07:21It is, Mr. Kent.
07:22Absolutely foolproof.
07:24Well, thank you very much for your kindness.
07:27My loss.
07:32State commercial bank.
08:10We're to go out Appletree Road and turn on to the old mill cutoff.
08:22Come on.
08:31What is it, Bob?
08:53Breakdown, huh?
08:55Looks phony to me.
09:01Let's go.

11:41must get his through the mail.
11:43The crooks take theirs when the job's through,
11:46and as for the rest of it,
11:47well, that's delivered in some roundabout way
11:50to whoever's behind all this.
11:53In other words, a chain.
11:55None of the parties know each other,
11:56so no one can squeal if anything goes wrong.
11:58That's it.
12:00Well, I'll buy that, Kent.
12:02But what makes you think there is a second ventriloquist?
12:04Why couldn't Marco be the one of...
12:05Marco, don't be ridiculous.
12:07He and the dummy were talking at the same time.
12:10We'll check on him anyway.
12:12In the meantime, I better call Harry Green,
12:14tell him we've got some new leads.
12:16Get me Harry Green.
12:19Leads? I don't care about leads.
12:21What I want is action.
12:22Look, Inspector, it's over a month since that first disappearance,
12:25and what have you accomplished?
12:27Absolutely nothing.
12:28And now the second robbery, what are you doing about that?
12:31Insurance? Of course we are insured.
12:33That's not the point.
12:35How long do you think my clients are going to stand for this?
12:37Look, Inspector, I told you before I want action,
12:41and if I don't get action soon,
12:42I'll personally call on the commissioner.
12:44What is it, Davis?
12:45This young man from the planet about those pictures.
12:47Oh, yes.
12:49Here are three I've selected I think will do.
12:52They're for the second installment of the feature store your paper's running.
12:55Tell Mr. White if those aren't enough.
12:57I'll have our public relations department send over some more.
13:00Thank you, sir.
13:02Um, Mr. Green?
13:04Yes?
13:04About those robberies,
13:07I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
13:09You see, me and my associates have just given the police an important clue.
13:13Is that right?
13:14Yes, sir.
13:15What's more, we're working on the case, too,
13:16so you see, everything will turn out all right.
13:18Well, that's very nice to know.
13:20Thank you very much, Mr., uh...
13:21Olson.
13:22James Bartholomew Olson.
13:24Well, thank you, Mr. Olson.
13:25Thank you, Mr. Olson.
13:25Thank you, Mr. Olson.
13:51Davis?
13:52Yeah?
13:52Who are you?
13:53Don't give me that.
13:53You know who I am, and I know you.
13:56You take a good picture, Davis.
13:57What does that mean?
13:59I saw that article in the Sunday Planet.
14:01I recognized you right away.
14:02He used to talk a lot about you in the big house.
14:05Only your name wasn't Davis then.
14:07It was Al Rosselli.
14:09You pulled that big jewelry job back in 41.
14:12What do you want?
14:14Guess.
14:16Go on, I'm listening.
14:18I want more money.
14:20I take a big risk each time for a measly thousand dollars,
14:22while you get a hundred times that much.
14:24All you do is sit here, make one phone call,
14:26start the whole thing rolling.
14:27What risk do you take?
14:27Why should you...
14:28Get out.
14:28You ain't scaring me none, Davis.
14:31I got enough for you to...
14:32Get out.
14:33Now, wait a minute.
14:33Hello, give me the chief.
14:50Yeah, yeah, quick.
14:52Hello, chief, this is Jim.
14:53I'm down at Green's office.
14:54I just stumbled on something.
14:57Sure, I got the pictures.
14:59But listen to me, chief.
15:00This is important.
15:01It might crack the whole case.
15:03What case?
15:04Why, the robberies, the armored cars.
15:06Look, I was just coming out of Mr. Green's office when I saw...
15:08Hello, Jim.
15:11Jim, are you there?
15:13Jim.
15:19What happened?
15:21I don't know.
15:22But I wouldn't be a bit surprised
15:23if that boy's got himself in a jam again.
15:26Lois, get Kent and hop right out there.
15:27I'll get in touch with Green.
15:33Clark, come on.
15:45Jim's in trouble at Green's.
15:49Would you sign here, please?
15:50What is it?
15:53Oh, I see.
15:54The men from the safe rental company.
15:56Yeah, we came to pick up that safe you're not using.
15:58Well, how will you get it down the street?
16:00The freight elevator isn't working
16:01and there are 15 flights of stairs.
16:02Don't worry, mister.
16:03We've got a block and tackle rigged up on the roof.
16:05All we do is lower out the window.
16:08Come on, Fred.
16:10Oh, Davis, just a minute.
16:11That young man Olsen from the planet,
16:14have you seen him around?
16:14No, I haven't.
16:25Boy, she's heavy.
16:44Take her away!
17:14Holy Toledo, I said it was too heavy.
17:32That other rope will never hold.
17:37This always happens.
17:39Jim's in trouble.
17:39Well, it's only two blocks, Clark,
17:41and I can't go through a red light.
17:42Lois, look.
17:50It's Jim.
17:51He's in that safe.
17:52In that safe?
17:54But, Clark, how did...
18:12Jimmy, are you all right?
18:20Yeah, I guess so.
18:21My legs are a little weak, that's all.
18:23That was a close one.
18:25And if it hadn't been for Superman,
18:26why...
18:27How is it you always managed
18:29to show up at the right time?
18:31That's my job, Miss Lane.
18:32Where was I?
18:34Up there?
18:36Gosh.
18:37Jim, a word of advice.
18:40After this, keep out of other people's safes.
18:42You bet.
18:42Well, Inspector, that's Jim's story,
18:54just the way it happened.
18:56So that's why you brought me here tonight.
18:59Now, why couldn't you have to...
19:00I'll be right back.
19:12What?
19:29Another job?
19:30Tonight?
19:31Davis, you've got your nerve
19:33after what happened this afternoon.
19:35What do you mean, what happened?
19:38Look, Davis, I'll do it.
19:39But from now on, my price is $5,000.
19:42That's right, you heard me.
19:43Five grand.
19:46Well, okay.
19:49All you've got to do is tell me what to say.
19:52Miss Lane, why couldn't you have let me know
19:53all this before?
19:54I could have had the whole case
19:55wrapped up by now.
19:57With Davis and the usher and the pokey,
19:58maybe Green would stop breathing down my neck.
20:01He's a friend of the commissioner, you know.
20:04The usher's going to pass on
20:05some more information tonight.
20:07Who is he now?
20:08Yes.
20:09Tomorrow, there'll be another robbery.
20:11Another armored car.
20:12There'll be no robbery.
20:13I'm pulling that guy in right away.
20:15I wouldn't do that if I were you, Inspector.
20:16Let him go ahead.
20:18And put his words in the dummy's mouth.
20:20True, he'll be telling the crooks
20:21the time and the place of the robbery.
20:22But at the same time,
20:23he'll be telling us.
20:24And you and your men can set a trap.
20:25No go.
20:26I'm napping that guy right away.
20:28This is your chance to see
20:29how the robbery's done.
20:30To find out what they do
20:31with these armored cars.
20:32And the missing guards and drivers.
20:34And maybe even the stolen money.
20:35Hmm.
20:45And good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
20:47Freddie, say good evening.
20:48What's good about it?
20:49All right, catch.
20:50Let's drink along.
20:52Freddie, this is the third time
20:54you've missed school
20:55and played hooky this week.
20:56What's the matter?
20:57Don't you like school?
20:58Oh, I can take it or leave it.
21:00I think I'll leave it.
21:01With Uncle Irving.
21:03And Aunt Magnolia.
21:03What's that?
21:04I said with Uncle Irving
21:05and Aunt Magnolia.
21:08Missing school so often.
21:09No wonder you're still in the third grade.
21:10Why a boy 14 should...
21:1113 and a half.
21:13A boy 14?
21:1513 and a half.
21:20Ladies and gentlemen,
21:21I'm sorry.
21:23Excuse me.
21:25Did you get it, Lois?
21:27Irving Boulevard and Magnolia Street.
21:2913 and a half.
21:30That'll be 1.30.
21:31Good.
21:31Irving and Magnolia
21:32at 1.30 tomorrow afternoon.
21:34We'll be there with bells on.
21:35And now our friend the usher.
21:36You'll need more on the usher.
21:37I'll get Davis later.
21:39But Davis isn't the only one.
21:40You want Green, too.
21:41What are you talking about, Clark?
21:43What's Green got to do with it?
21:44Think he'd rob his own company.
21:46It was Green's voice
21:46I heard on the phone.
21:47Oh, you're crazy.
21:48Okay, I'll prove it to you.
21:50See you later.
21:55Well, there he goes again.
21:57Inspector, where does he disappear to all the time?
22:00I don't know.
22:01Maybe he runs into an alley,
22:02takes off his glasses,
22:03and turns into Superman.
22:16Let's go.
22:18David.
22:47But is something wrong?
22:51Okay, Green, your plan worked.
22:53Now we can quit playing cat and mouse.
22:55Cat and mouse?
22:55I don't know what on earth you're talking about.
22:57You set me up as a fall guy.
22:59You knew that if anything went wrong with your plans,
23:01the first one the police would come looking for is me,
23:03a three-time loser.
23:04Your record?
23:04Of course I knew about that,
23:06but what the...
23:06They came to my apartment.
23:07The police.
23:09But I got away.
23:10They're not getting me yet, Green.
23:12I've got a score to settle first.
23:14Davis, put that gun away.
23:15Have you lost your senses?
23:19I'll take that gun, Davis.
23:22Whoever you are, stay away from here.
23:23I'll shoot.
23:24Don't be a fool, Davis.
23:25You're in the clear now.
23:27Better keep it that way.
23:28In the clear, but I thought...
23:29I know what you thought, Green,
23:30but you're all through.
23:31You've given yourself away.
23:33Shoot him, Davis, shoot!
23:43That won't do you any good, Green.
23:45Nothing will.
23:46You have a date with Inspector Henderson
23:48at the police headquarters.
23:53He'll be interested to know
23:54what half a million dollars
23:55in stolen currency
23:56is doing in your safe.
23:58Still in the original bank wrappers.
24:00Well, Kent, the track worked.
24:06We tailed the crooks to their hideout,
24:07recovered the armored cars,
24:08the missing men, and the money.
24:10All of it, Inspector?
24:11Well, not all.
24:12About 200,000.
24:13But that plus the half a million
24:15that Superman brought in last night
24:16when he delivered Green.
24:18Uh, Kent, I guess I owe you an apology.
24:22You were right after all.
24:23But how you knew that...
24:24Yes, how did you know it was Green
24:25on the other end of that phone?
24:27Well, Lois, like I was telling you last night.
24:36Yes, Henderson speaking.
24:40Oh, you'll have to speak a little louder.
24:41All right, Clark.
24:42If you're so smart,
24:43who's on the other end of the phone now?
24:45The chief.
24:45And if we're not back at the planet
24:46in 15 seconds flat,
24:48we're both going to get fired.
24:49Now, come on.
24:50Oh, uh, for you, Kent, your boss...
24:53Hey!
24:55Uh.
24:56Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
