2:02Up in the sky. Look, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman. And now Superman. When we last left Superman, he had arrived in Denver as Clark Kent News reporter to investigate a strange and deadly plot against the railroad of the West. He had been able to prevent the continental limited from being swept into a catch in by a rock slide. But now the unknown forces directed against the silver clipper, crack train of the West coast railway. Mysterious messages have warned the clipper, due to leave then for its rundown, will never arrive in Salt Lake City. Morning newspapers have carried Kent's story of the rock slide, and while railroad officials and government men search desperately for clues, Kent himself walks briskly toward the great central station for a conference with a division superintendent. Meanwhile the plot moves on. In a secret hiding place overlooking the railroad yard, the man called the wolf talks with

3:04his subordinate, Kino. Listen. So, very fine. At last the unbelieving fools begin to take me seriously. You have read the stories, Kino? I read them. Well, why so sudden? Well, I don't understand it. I tell you that track was blocked for a hundred feet, and yet five minutes later the continent would right on through. Next time I've threatened, please to observe more accurately. Obviously the track was not blocked for a hundred feet. It was not blocked at all. But I tell you it was. You should join forces with a conductor of the train. He swears that a tremendous figure in blue tights in a red cape appeared from nowhere, replaced the missing rails, cleared away twenty tons of rock, and made a safe passage for the train, all in a matter of minutes. Oh yes, yes. And he is now confined in the city hospital, that conductor, for observation. Yeah. Well, I tell you I see in the same thing, my friend.

4:05That was my friend. We have no time for pipe dreams. You were deceived by shadows. And now listen, there's work to do. I'm listening. I note that this story is signed by that newspaper man, Clark Kent, the one who was on the train. Well, I told you about him. I should like to be better informed. That fellow seems to know a great deal. How he knows I have no idea. But he does. Also, I have checked up on him. He was assigned to cover the story back east, and seems to have arrived out here incredibly soon. Must have flown. Undoubtedly. But that's either here or there. Do you know where he is now? I did what you told me. I trailed him. He left his hotel to go see the visual superintendent of the railroad. Did he? How lucky. Lucky. We'll kill two birds with one stone. We've got them on the run. They're worried, you know, and frightened. I hope you're right. They don't know which way to turn up to believe. They'd like to keep the silver clipper in Denver tonight, but they don't dare.

5:07They don't dare, you know. They can't admit their terrified. And wait till they get my telegram. Telegram. Can you dress up like a messenger keynote? Uniform and so on? Oh, sure. Excellent, excellent. You will put on your fake uniform and take this wire, also fake, to the superintendent at once. If you have luck, you'll find him with Mr. Clark Kent. You will also find, I think, that he is trying to locate a missing engine, you know. Missing engine? Just so. If he finds it, I'll eat it. Huh? Never mind. It sure uniform on, you know. Deliver the telegram personally and bring back as much of a conversation as you can. Do you understand? Oh, now, there's that conductor's story. It's the funniest reading I've seen this week. A Superman, huh? Appearing out of the night. Where?

6:08Where? Hello. Here's the superintendent's week. What? Well, trace it again. Trace it from both ends of the line. Oh, nuts, don't tell me you can't find it. Do you think a locomotive in tender could manage to thin air? Check every station master and call me back. I'm sorry, Mr. Kent. Oh, that's quite all right. Stupid idiots. Look here, we sent a spare engine and tended on the line last night, and now they can't tell me where it is. What? On the main line? Certainly. Never mind. Let's get back to this business, the continental. Any more news of that conductor? No, not so far. Poor fellow's out of his mind. What do you suppose he thought he saw all that business about a Superman? As I only wish to heaven they'd never printed it. Well, I didn't report that, believe me. I know. And now look here, Kent. I've checked with your paper back east, and they tell me that it's all right. And they're sure he got to do what you can. Now, what do you want to know?

7:08Well, first of all, have you any idea of what's back of this trouble on the railroads? Not the slightest. If you ask me, there's a lunatic at life. I don't you believe it. Oh, what else can I believe? It's too senseless, utterly mad. Well, you had warning. Yes, which we ignored. And we get them all the time from cranks and nuts. But these warnings came true. So what of it? Well, do you still think they came from cranks and nuts? All right, Kent. What do you think? I think that one man or a group of men is trying to paralyze the country with fear. Yes, but why? I'm afraid we'll find that out later. Unless we can stop them. Good Lord, we've got to stop them. This can't go on, Kent. We'll do what we can. What do you suggest? I suggest that you don't let the silver clipper leave Denver tonight. Oh, Kent, she's got to leave. Can you imagine what the reaction would be if she didn't? You're taking a chance. I can't help that. She's got to go. Well, then we must work fast. If they haven't was evening, I have one more idea.

8:09Yes, what is it? Well, if you read my story carefully, you'll see that I am by. I know more than I print. Here's I didn't notice that. How do you? Not yet, but I expect to. How? The people back of this, particularly the man called the wolf, would want to know just what I do know and where I got it. Well, I propose to show myself around until he catches up with me. Really? I think so. I will shadow this morning on my way here. Good Lord. You were? So I think he and his friends are just waiting their chance. And I'm going to give it to them. Oh, Kent, don't do it. Well, if they'd record train, they wouldn't think twice about putting me out of the way. Yes. I'm sorry. But why? What's the idea? Well, they're finding out how much I know. I may be finding out one or two little items about them. I only hope. Here. How long have you been standing there, messenger? Oh, I just come, boys. You, the division of superintendent, the telegram. Yes, sir. For you, Poisony. They told me to bring it right in.

9:10I've seen the door was open, so I hope they found that engine. Well, that's all, messenger. Get out. Yes, sir. Hey, where'd you get this wire? Huh? Well, the office gave it to me, said to bring it right over. All right, all right, go on, close it over, Hunter. Hey, Kent, listen to this. Yes. Where an engine is now, a train will be tomorrow. The silver clipper will vanish like smoke. Never to be seen by the eyes of living men. Well, sounds like black magic. I don't believe it. Why they never dare. Oh, they dare, all right? Is that telegram, sir? Yes, it's signed the wolf. The wolf? Look, Mr. Superintendent, that settles it. How that wire checked. Find out who sent it and went in from there if you can. I guess is you'll discover it's faked. I wish we'd held that messenger. Kent, what are you going to do? Just what I said I do. Put myself in the hands of the wolf and see who wins. Superintendent speaking.

10:12What? What? Why, look here, that's not possible. It can't be. Mac, alive, think what you're saying. Now look here, you tell that true report here in my office. That's right at once. My God, there's a bit I find out something. Anything new? Why, it's the silliest thing I ever heard. Wait, that telegram. Where an engine is now? I don't believe it. I don't believe it for a minute. What is it? Kent, that look more to the intended. It passed through Kingston 1150. Yes. And it passed through Richville 1150. Well, it should have reached Louisburg at 12, probably just 30 minutes later. And it didn't? It wasn't on time? On time. I had never got there at all. Well, that's easy. It left the rail somewhere in between. Yes, you'd think so. But listen to this. A crew left Richville and a crew left Louisburg. They met somewhere in between just now and broad day life. And neither crew had seen a sign of that engine anywhere. That's not possible. No, no, it isn't, is it? Black magic. Isn't that what you called it, Kent? I think I'm going mad like that conductor.

11:13Well, what are you going to do? I'm going out to hunt wolves. Anybody looking? No, quick. Out of these clothes. Now that window. Goodbye to Clark Kent's temporarily. Superman's turn now. If I know where those devils are hiding, until listen, by late tell me what they know. Over the yards. Circle around a bit. There goes that messenger. Watch him, watch him. I land on that roof, look down into the street. There he goes, the messenger. Into that house with a broken railing. Now then, I think I'll become Clark Kent again. Respectable representative of the daily planet. I'll just walk casually down that street and see what happens. Down we go.

12:16So, he thinks he'll find out one or two little items about us, you know? Yeah, that's what he said before they saw me stand in there. I think I should like to question that young man. On various angles of the so interesting story he wrote to this morning's paper. What are you doing by the window? Hey, hey, down there, down there in the street. Look, what is it? It's him walking right into the house. What? That is that Clark Kent? How do you know where to find me? Who told him? I don't know. I don't look at me like that. I already know which way to take to get here. He searched me, boy. He knows too much. How does he know? Quick, you know. Dan says. Hey, boy, what are you going to do with him? There's a false below us, you know. Steel lined and sound poof. With very tasty spices to bring out information. You're going to come near. For a time. For a little conversation, my friend. Stop, stop. What's the people? Is he coming? Yeah, right this way. Hey, wait a minute. Is anyone else in the alley? No, it's empty. Here he comes. We'll jump out and grab. Huh? Hey, where are you going? Quick, you know what I'm having here? What did we got here?

13:16What the hell? Jump, boss. Inside, inside with him quick. Come on, you. No hangin' back. Uh-huh. Good work, you know. Good work down the iron stairway. Quick, quick. Someone may have heard of something. Trying to hang back out. Fix it. There we are. Shove inside. Now close it off. Now then, Mr. Clark Kent. The time has come for a little talk. You know my friend. You may prepare the aids to conversation. Clark Kent in the power of the wolf. Or is the wolf all unknowing in the power of Superman? And meanwhile, where is the missing engine? Excitement, thrills, suspense. Fune in and follow the story. And remember, be with us again for the next thrilling installment of Superman. Up to the sky. Oh, it's burned. It's a plane. It's Superman. Superman is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics magazine.
