Resetting the transcription feature Superman.

Up in the sky. Look. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman.

And now Superman. When we last saw him, Superman as Clark Kent had come to the town of

Diarville with lowest lane to save it from the grim designs of the yellow mask

who had threatened to destroy it unless the city paid him the huge sum of a million

dollars within 36 hours. Kent has discovered that the mask intends to wipe out the mighty

hearty dam above the city and sweep away every living thing in the resulting flood.

But how the mask plans to break the dam guarded as it is by heavily armed police

is still a mystery. Today as our story continues, sudden terror has seized a small group standing

on top of the dam. Less than 12 hours ago before the end of the time limit set by the

yellow mask, but already strange rumbling shocks far below the surface of the water sound the

warnings of disaster. Kent, lowest lane, the city commissioner of Diarville caught on the roadway

of the dam, raced wildly for the shore. Come on, come on, don't stop to look back.

No, I don't think so. Take it easy, commissioner. That noise, whatever it was, it's all over now.

Hey, what's up there?

Kent, I'd give you my word. I thought it was all over right in ten minutes.

What was it? What happened? I can't imagine.

It felt like an earthquake shock.

Yes, or an explosion, way down under the water. Explosion, can't say it might have been at that.

But why? Even if the mask is going to blow out the dam, we've still got 10 hours by his own

word. That's right. Till midnight tonight.

I'm not so sure about that. Look, here's why I followed you out here.

This letter came just after you left my office.

What is it?

No, don't ask me how it came because I don't know.

All I know is that I found it on my desk.

I'd have sworn the headman is holding the room.

You're really, Kent.

So the city commission, the secret empire is becoming impatient.

I am not pleased with the way Diarville meets my demands.

Let there be more speed or I may change my mind.

Sign the yellow mask.

More speed may change his mind.

And what's he mean by that?

Commissioner, the mask may be fooling us.

It's not like him to give such a plain warning.

Mr. Kent, I don't understand.

And I mean just this.

What if the mask doesn't mean to blow up the dam at all?

What if he's got some other scheme?

We can't. Why do you think that?

Well, he's let us know too much.

Almost looks as if he wanted us all up here while he worked out another plan somewhere else.

Is that's the case? What can we do?

I'll let us, I mean, Miss Lane.

You'll go back to town with the commissioner.

Back to the meeting.

Isn't that your car right over there?

Yes, it is.

Are you sure that's the best thing to do?

I'm not sure.

Right now nobody can be sure of anything.

I'll take your word for Kent.

Come along, Miss Lane.

Those startup peters, we're going back.

Mr. Kent, what are you going to do?

Oh, stay around.

Keep my eyes open.

And my ears.

All right, get in, Miss Lane.

That's it.

And Kent, whatever happens, try and get back to the meeting.

I'll do that, Commissioner.

That's a promise.

Don't forget.

And good luck to you.

Not only to me, good luck to all of us.

Look, we need a little luck.

Now that they're gone, I think it's time

Clark Kent get way to Superman.

Need those policemen watching?

No.

I think I'll have a look under water.

Find out where those explosions came from.

Here I go.

Here something looks like a piece of polished metal, and right

up against the dam too, where the crack is.

I can get it loose from the bottom.

Now that I've got it, I've got it.

Right it loose.

Now up, up in the air.

And over the shore to see what it is.

Up, up.

In the shelter of a group of pine trees, Superman examines the curious object.

He is taken from the bottom of Harley Lake.

Amazement shows in his eyes.

He leaps again into the sky and streaks for the eating chamber in the council hall of

Diarville, where fierce trick and citizens look at each other with pale, drawn faces.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I don't know.

There's no question.

Don't you know better than to call me out now?

Who is it?

There he is, Commissioner.

Said you knew him.

Kent.

Well, quick man.

Is anything happened?

Commissioner.

Where's Miss Lane?

She's all right.

She's waiting in my office.

And what about the mask?

Commissioner.

I've found the reason for that explosion we felt this afternoon.

Yes.

It was a torpedo.

Oh, a torpedo.

That's what I said.

And underwater torpedo fired from somewhere up the lake at the face of the Harley dam.

No wonder it shook.

Yes, but why?

The time hadn't expired.

What was the reason?

Number one.

The terrifying.

Number two.

To show us what he could do.

Commissioner, when the time comes, the yellow mask can blow that dam into a thousand bits.

Where is he?

Can't we find him?

Stop him.

We might if we had time.

Right now he could be anywhere on Harley Lake and it's getting dark.

No time for that, Commissioner.

What's the meeting doing?

Oh, nothing.

Talking it over.

Arguing back and forth.

We have a radio in there in case the mask sends another message.

Oh.

And the proceedings are being broadcast so that everyone in town will know what's going on.

Will they pay the money?

I don't know.

Do you think...

Look at Commissioner.

Yes.

I'll tell me quickly.

If the dam does go, how does the water come down on the city?

Billions of gallons can't.

Well, there wouldn't be a chance.

No, no, that's not what I mean.

What's its course?

Which way does it go?

Down through the Jefferson Gorge and then into the valley.

And Direville's right in the way.

Who's a Gorge?

Commissioner, if you could block that Gorge, what would happen?

Well, I don't know.

Yes, I do, too.

The flood would go down the old riverbed.

And miss the city?

Miss it entirely.

Enjoying the river again two miles below Direville.

Commissioner, could you dynamite that Gorge?

Block it up.

Well, I don't know.

No, no, no.

We couldn't nut in the time we had.

Well, try it.

Call in the army.

Have their engineers get right out there and set charges.

It's your own chance.

And can't be if you think.

Well, if that's the only way.

Now, listen.

They're calling for a vote.

I'm going to go back in there.

You'd better come to them.

Make a final decision.

Come along.

All right.

Well, gentlemen.

Are you ready for the question, gentlemen?

Yes.

What are you up for?

We made up our minds.

They can't let me lose.

Gentlemen, it has been moved and seconded.

That no further action be taken in the matter of the demands made on Direville.

By the figure known as the Yellow Mask.

All those in favor?

Aye.

Country minded?

It is so bold.

Gentlemen, you have made your decision.

And I think a wise one.

The people of this city cannot yield to the threat of fear.

Very well, gentlemen.

You have made your decision.

And I have made my name.

Where is the commission?

It's coming over the radio.

I shall not wait until midnight.

I shall destroy your city now at once.

And others may know what it means to defy the will of the Yellow Mask.

Run for your lives, you fools.

Save them if you can.

I have released my torpedoes.

The flood is already on its way.

Order!

Order, gentlemen.

He can't meet it.

That was just a threat.

He can't do it.

Now keep your seats.

Who's voice was that broadcasting?

You heard it on the radio yesterday.

You know who it was.

But I don't believe him.

Where's that reporter?

Where's Clark Kent?

Where's the reporter?

Where's the commissioner?

Where's the commissioner?

Here's Miss Lane.

What's the matter?

Quiet.

All of you.

A phone call just came in commissioner.

The day.

It's been blown to pieces.

Holy damn is destroyed.

The flood is coming down on diabetes.

Quiet.

Quiet.

Quiet.

Quiet.

Quiet.

Quiet.

Quiet.

And meanwhile, where is Clark Kent?

Vanished from the scene, changed into twinkling to the flying form of Superman.

Faster than the narrow plane.

Red folks dreaming in the wind.

He rushes back up the valley to meet the boiling, roaring flood of Harley Lake,

pouring down toward the narrow gorge of the Jefferson River.

I have a work fest.

This has got to be the time.

First to see if that depth was telling the truth.

Then to block up the gorge.

It's one chance in a thousand.

Even Superman can't hold back a flood.

Oh, it won't hurt me.

I can't drown.

But it can kill every living soul in Stuyerville.

Faster.

Faster.

Ah, there it is.

Going like a millies.

So you did it after all, Mask.

Well, let's see if it's still time to stop you.

Back to the Jefferson Gorge.

Racing ahead of the flood.

Superman swoops down to the only place where it can be turned from the doom city.

The narrow bend of the man-made gorge.

Rocky cliffs rise a hundred feet on either side.

Down thunder's a towering wall of angry water.

There it is.

Can't get there ahead of the water.

But maybe I can block it off.

Down.

Down.

Taring at the granite walls.

Bloodwater's raging on every hand.

Superman rips into the living rock.

Sends great masses plunging to the foot of the gorge.

But war is needed and yet more.

The water is thundering through.

A great point of stone hangs high overhead.

One last chance.

If I can rip that loose.

Crash it down there in the middle.

There it goes.

Not much time.

What's more?

It's cracking.

It's starting to go.

How?

It's down.

It's done it.

It's not the gorge.

The flood.

The flood's going down the old channel.

It'll miss Fireville by half a mile.

In the last second of time, Superman tears down the hierarchy walls of Jefferson Gorge.

Turns aside the mainstream of the flood.

Sends it down its old harmless channel.

Saves the city of Fireville.

And two hours later, in a telegraph office on the city's main street.

All right.

Here comes another sheet.

Same address.

Paracwhite daily planet.

Well, Mr. Ken Fancy meeting you here.

Hello, Lewis.

Tell me it's all over.

The flood missed Fireville.

And once again, do you mind telling me where you've been all the time?

Oh, I don't know, talking around.

Well, one thing, certainly.

This time, it's my story and not yours.

Your story, you bet it is.

You're cowardly running away, cut you right out of it.

I've said, Mr. White, a complete account of how Diaville would save from the flood.

This is one time, Mr. Clark Kent, when you weren't in on it.

Hiding a smile Kent turns away.

Then the smile abruptly fades.

Diaville is saved as Loa says.

But what of the yellow mask?

Suddenly Kent realizes that the mad menace is still large.

And who can tell where his next blow will strike?

So be with us again next time and follow the exciting story of Superman.

And remember, be sure to tune in the next thrilling installment of the amazing transcription feature, Superman.

Up in the sky.

Look, it's a bird.

It's a plane.

It's Superman.
