The Superman production company donated this special 18 minute episode to the US Treasury to help promote school stamp day savings plans to children. This is the only episode of the series that has entered the public domain. It features all of the hallmarks that made the original 1950s Superman series so memorable.

TVTranscript
00:01The United States Treasury Department presents The Adventures of Superman.
00:11Faster than a speeding bullet.
00:15More powerful than a locomotive.
00:19Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.
00:23Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
00:26It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman!
00:28Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities
00:32far beyond those of mortal men.
00:35Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers,
00:38then steal in his bare hands.
00:41And who, disguised as Clark Kent,
00:43mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,
00:46fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.
01:08Clark, aren't they the cutest puppies you ever saw?
01:10They sure are, but did you ever see a puppy that wasn't cute?
01:13I wish the shop was open till I could hold one.
01:15You've done the next best thing.
01:16You've had me standing in front of that window for the last, what, 20 minutes?
01:19Yes.
01:20Clark, look!
01:21Oh, now, Lois.
01:23Do you realize this is the 18th window you stopped at?
01:26And furthermore, do you realize that according to my calculations,
01:29at this rate, it'll take me until the middle of next week to walk you home?
01:33If you're in a hurry, I'm sure I can manage alone.
01:36I'll tell you what.
01:37You look in half the windows, now look in the other half.
01:39That way, it'll just take us half as long.
01:41But you don't understand.
01:43Shopping is an art.
01:48Someone else is shopping.
01:49From the inside, too.
01:50There's an all-night judge there in the corner.
01:52I'll call the police.
02:18My partner went out the door as soon as the alarm went off.
02:22You don't have to worry about me, though.
02:23I'm not going to run away.
02:25You mean you deliberately stayed when you could have gotten away?
02:29Well, I've never done anything like this before, Superman.
02:31It was all like a dream until that alarm went off and woke me up.
02:35Well, I realized that I can run from the police, but I can't run from myself.
02:40It's easy to see that you're new at this sort of thing.
02:42Why did you do it?
02:44Well, I just want to keep asking myself.
02:49I'm sure it was the money, but it went deeper than that.
02:54I should have learned how to save and handle money a long time ago.
02:58Then this wouldn't have happened.
03:01Well, I'm sorry it did, but at least you've learned something very important.
03:05Well, pretty bad way to learn it, don't you think?
03:09Well, here they come, Superman.
03:11Gee, I feel a little better for having someone to talk to.
03:14Thanks.
03:14It's all right, son.
03:15Now, you can do me a favor.
03:16Don't tell them I was here.
03:17Sure.
03:37Never mind, Clark.
03:38I already got the story.
03:39Too bad you went running off the wrong direction again.
03:41Well, this isn't the first time you scooped me, Lois.
03:44And I haven't finished.
03:45I got more than just the story.
03:47I got a good look at the second burglar.
03:49What?
03:50You mean the one that got away?
03:51You saw him?
03:52No.
03:52He must have gone out the back way and up the other alleys I passed.
03:55We bumped right into each other.
03:56Well, I hope you don't bump into him again.
04:02Pretty nifty, isn't it, Mr. Kent?
04:03I can almost carry it in my pocket.
04:05Now, if I have any special outside assignments,
04:07I can carry my typewriter with me.
04:09That's right, Jimmy.
04:10It looks like a good friend's investment to me.
04:12There it is.
04:13I would misreport of a burglary that didn't burgled too well.
04:16Well, congratulations, Lois.
04:19Yeah, that's cute.
04:20Cute?
04:22Can't you think of some other word to call it, Miss Lane?
04:24I don't want to be known as the boy with the cute typewriter.
04:27I'm afraid it's hopeless, Jimmy.
04:28I once knew a woman who referred to the Grand Canyon as cute.
04:31Well, whatever you call it,
04:32I didn't know the chief was handing out raises.
04:34Oh, I didn't get a raise.
04:36Then I didn't know he was handing out rich uncles.
04:39In a way, I guess you could say an uncle had something to do with it.
04:42Uncle Sam.
04:43When I was in school,
04:44I used to buy treasury savings stamps every week.
04:47By the time I graduated, they turned into bonds.
04:50So you're cashing the bonds on this typewriter?
04:52Only part of them.
04:53You see, the interest I got on my investment
04:56made the bonds worth a lot more than what I put into them.
04:59That's very interesting, Jimmy.
05:00And speaking of learning to save,
05:01that ties in exactly with something I heard last night.
05:04And when did you hear anything about saving last night, Mr. Kent?
05:07I was with you all the time, remember?
05:10Oh, uh, yes.
05:12Well, this must have been some other evening when you weren't with me.
05:14Now, Jimmy, do they still have stamp day at your old alma mater?
05:17As far as I know, every Thursday.
05:19And this is Thursday, isn't it?
05:21It gives me an idea.
05:22Why not do a feature article on how the kids help themselves
05:25and Uncle Sam by buying bonds and stamps?
05:28Cheapers, I'll go along with that.
05:30Good.
05:30How about you, Lois?
05:31I'd love to, but I have a date with Inspector Henderson.
05:34Have to look through the mud books for that speedy gentleman
05:36I met in the alley last night.
05:38Well, then come on over later.
05:39P.S. number 10.
05:40Fine.
05:40Meet you there in an hour.
05:42Uh, Jim?
05:43Yes, Miss Lane?
05:44Uh, I was wondering, could I borrow your typewriter?
05:51Thanks.
06:03Good morning, boys.
06:04Good morning, Mr. Garwin.
06:05I'd, uh, like you to meet Mr. Kent and Jimmy Olsen from the planet.
06:09Hi, fellas.
06:10Mr. Kent, you're the friend of Superman, aren't you?
06:12Well, we do keep in pretty close contact, yes.
06:15Boy, if Superman would come over, I bet we'd really have a sad day.
06:20Well, I can't promise you anything, but it might be arranged.
06:25The booth looks very nice, boys.
06:27Thank you very much.
06:38Hello?
06:40Ms. Lane, this is Blinky. Remember me?
06:43Blinky?
06:44Oh, of course.
06:45Why, we used to go to Sunday school picnics together.
06:48Now you're thinking of the wrong, Blinky.
06:50The only Sunday school picnic I ever went to was in reform school.
06:53Then they took us all out to chase butterflies.
06:56The one I chased just happened to fly into a moving boxcar.
06:59So what could I do?
07:00You know, Ms. Lane, I chased that butterfly all the way up to San Francisco.
07:04Well, let's not compare life histories, Blinky.
07:06What do you want?
07:07Well, I'm the guy that ran into you yesterday, you know, by the jewelry store.
07:12Then you're the...
07:13The guy they're looking for.
07:15They're bound to get me, Ms. Lane, so I'm going to surrender.
07:18Well, that's fine, Blinky.
07:19You're doing the right thing.
07:20But I ain't going to surrender to the police.
07:22I'm only surrendering to you personally.
07:25Me?
07:26Sure.
07:27They'll have to give me a break if I walk them with you.
07:29Look.
07:30Meet me on the corner of Chestnut and Warlow in exactly a half hour.
07:34But alone.
07:35But I'm not sure I'll recognize you.
07:38You'll recognize me, all right.
07:40In a half hour.
07:55Inspector Henderson, Lois Lane.
07:57I'll be a little late for our appointment.
07:59I have a surprise to pick up for you first.
08:06Yes, Mr. Kent, we're pretty proud of our students.
08:09Stamp day is really their idea, you know.
08:11You mean they do the whole thing themselves?
08:13Take the orders, collect the money, and keep their own books?
08:16And believe me, it isn't easy.
08:18But it sure is a good feeling at the end of the day when everything comes out all right.
08:22When it comes to buying savings stamps, Jimmy, I'm afraid everything's bound to come out all right.
08:26They'll start taking orders at lunch period.
08:29Now, that's an hour and a half from now.
08:32Mr. Kent, if you could get word to Superman.
08:36Well, Mr. Garwin, I'll do the best I can.
08:38But right now, I'm very worried about Lois.
08:40She should have been here by now.
08:42May I use your phone?
08:43Certainly.
08:53Mr. White's office, please.
09:00White speaking.
09:01Chief, this is Kent.
09:03What happened to Lois?
09:04Kent, I spent half my life attempting to keep track of you, Lois, or young Olsen.
09:10I spent the other half regretting that I spent the first half trying to keep track of you.
09:16I'm afraid you lost me on that last curve.
09:18When did she leave?
09:19About an hour ago.
09:20She stuck her head in the door and said,
09:21Chief, I have a date with a Heisman to wrap him up and put him on ice.
09:25As usual, it didn't make much sense.
09:27I'm afraid it makes too much sense, Chief.
09:28I'll be right over.
09:30He's sorry.
09:30Well, you have to go.
09:33You stay here.
09:34But, but, Mr.
09:37No much about it, Olsen.
09:39You stick around.
09:46The things I can walk into with my eyes wide open.
09:50It ain't your fault, Miss Lane.
09:52I ain't got nothing against you personally, except you can put the finger on me.
09:55So can Jess Dunlap, your partner in crime.
09:58Nah, Jess was in on the job.
09:59This testimony don't mean a thing.
10:01And what's going to happen to me?
10:03I've got to get rid of you, Miss Lane.
10:07But not until I get a call from the guy that's selling the jewelry for me.
10:10And in the meantime, if anybody catches up with you, you use me as a shield, right?
10:16That's what I like, a girl with brains.
10:18If that's what you like, find another girl.
10:20I obviously don't have any brains or I wouldn't be here.
10:23Hey, I got an idea.
10:27Look, I'm going to be out of the country a long time, right?
10:30Well, I got to keep in touch with my pals by writing letters, right?
10:33And being as hell, nobody can read my handwriting, you can teach me how to run this little gadget.
10:38How about it?
10:39Sure, why not?
10:43But who's going to teach those friends of yours how to read?
10:46What a sense of humor.
10:48Nothing but laughs right up to the end.
10:49Thanks for reminding me.
10:52Well, start with lesson one.
11:04Gee, that's beautiful, Miss Lane.
11:06Every time I think of this line, I'll think of you.
11:09The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
11:16That's all I know, Cass.
11:18She phoned Henderson and said she'd be late.
11:20She hasn't shown up.
11:21Well, it's a safe guess that whoever she saw last night has lured into some kind of a trap.
11:25Well, unfortunately, that doesn't help us locate the trap.
11:29And there's only one lead I can think of.
11:30I'm going down to jail and talk to Jeff Dunlop.
11:34Oh, Cass.
11:35Yes, sir.
11:36I didn't really mean all those things I said.
11:38I know you didn't, Chief.
11:43Say, I'm doing pretty good on this one, Miss Lane.
11:46Out of 100 letters, I only made 95 mistakes.
11:49You're doing fine, Blinky.
11:50You'll make some woman a wonderful secretary.
11:54Hey, what's that you're doing?
11:57I was just going to show you how to draw pictures with a typewriter.
12:01Now, ain't that something?
12:02Well, if you look too close, it doesn't look like a picture anymore.
12:05You have to hold it far away, and then the letters sort of blur together.
12:09Why won't you try one?
12:10Sure.
12:28Don't go no further.
12:30I like your real clothes.
12:32I was just going to test flight my airplane.
12:34You can test flight it from right over there.
12:37Anything you say, Blinky.
12:40Now, look what I did.
12:42Well, you can make another one.
12:44Well, thanks, Blinky.
12:46I don't feel much like playing games.
12:48Especially when you should be getting a phone call soon.
13:10Ken.
13:11Ken.
13:12Nothing to get excited about, Chief.
13:13I talked to Jess all right, and he identified the other fellow, but he doesn't know where he lives.
13:18Well, now, don't worry about me.
13:19I haven't suddenly gone childish.
13:21Take a look at this.
13:23Hmm.
13:24Daily Planet Urgent.
13:26Someone found it on the street and brought it in.
13:27Take a look inside.
13:30Well, if that somebody thinks this is any time for practical jokes.
13:35Wait a minute, Chief.
13:36Just a second.
13:37Look here, among the exes.
13:41Prisoner, top floor.
13:4318 Cedar Street.
13:44Ken, that's it.
13:45Well, if it is, I hope on time.
13:48Get me to police.
13:49I'd better get over there, Chief.
13:50I might be able to be of some help.
14:11Yeah.
14:12Yeah?
14:14Good.
14:16That's a call I've been waiting for, Miss Lane.
14:18Everything's been taken care of, except you.
14:27Blanky, don't.
14:28You just got a few years for the jewel robbery, but for this.
14:32That's the chance I got to take.
14:40No, I don't believe it.
14:42You will, Blanky.
14:43You will.
14:47Just wait for your ammunition, Blanky.
14:52Sit down.
14:59Hey, let me out.
15:00Let me out.
15:01That was three seconds, and it would have been too late, Superman.
15:03Well, it wasn't, Miss Lane, and that's what counts.
15:05What time is it?
15:06Just about 12.30.
15:07Well, I can't wait for the police.
15:08I have an appointment date.
15:09Excuse me.
15:12You won't have to worry about riding your pals now, Blanky.
15:21Hiya, boys and gals.
15:24There can only be one Superman.
15:26Of course.
15:27Did you ever think about some of the super things that you can do for yourself?
15:31Well, like saving up the money for your own vacation.
15:35Or for that new bike that you wanted so much.
15:38Well, all you have to do is just put away part of your allowance or your odd job money
15:42and put it in United States savings stamps at school.
15:45Those dimes, quarters, and dollars add up mighty fast,
15:48especially when you buy them every week on stamp day.
15:50Well, the first thing you know, you'll have enough for a savings bond,
15:54just like Dad buys for the payroll savings at work.
15:57And from then on, the sky's the limit.
15:59Take it from Superman.
16:00Your mom and dad will be plenty proud of you if you're learning to save regularly.
16:04And the teachers are on your team, too.
16:06They make sure of having savings stamps at school for you to buy
16:10and remind you when it is stamp day.
16:12And so, boys and girls, be super citizens and have a super future
16:16by saving regularly with United States savings stamps at school.
16:21And keep on making me and everyone else as proud of you as we are today.
16:26Bye now.
16:28Bye now.
16:30Bye now.
16:31Bye now.
16:32Bye now.
16:34Bye now.
16:35Bye now.
16:37Bye now.
16:37Bye now.
16:45Laws, it's good to see you again.
16:47All in the day's work, Clark.
16:48While you were out covering stamp day, Superman and I were cleaning up a case.
16:52It looks like Blinky's going to get jailed.
16:53Jess is going to get probation.
16:55And I'm going to get my typewriter back.
16:58Golly, Jim, it's a lucky thing for me you saved your money for that typewriter.
17:01Otherwise, I'd never gotten that note out.
17:03It turned into a happy ending for everybody.
17:06And just to make the ending a little more happy,
17:08I have a present for each of us.
17:10Cheaper stamp albums.
17:11Thank you, Mr. Kearns.
17:13You have an extra one.
17:14Who's that for?
17:18Oh, just for a friend of mine?
17:21Oh.
17:21Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
17:31oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
17:31oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
17:31oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
17:31oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
