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.

1:02Kent 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 in the city commissioner of Diarville caught on the roadway of the dam, raised wildly for the shore. What's the other slave? Come on, come on, don't stop to look back. It's all right now? No, I don't think so. It's all over now. What the hell? 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. As an explosion, way down under the water. Explosion, can't.

2:03Say it might have been at that. But why? Even if the mask is going to blow out the dam, we've still got to house 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? Son, don't ask me how it came because I don't know. All I know is that I've hollered on my desk. I'd have sworn the head and mitties hole in the room. You're really, Kent. What? To the city commission. The secret empire is becoming impatient. I am not pleased with the way Diavell 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. Well, 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.

3:04Is that the case? What can we do? I love us. I mean, Miss Lane, you 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. I'd now know but he can be sure of anything. I'll take your word for Kent. Come along, Miss Lane. Those startup peters were going back. Mr. Kent, what are you going to do? Oh, stay around. Keep my eyes open. I had my ears. All right, get in, Miss Lane. That's it. 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. Luck, eh? Well, we'll 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.

4:07Here, here's 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. Got it. Fried it loose. Now 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 doing. I don't know. Oh, there's no fish. Don't you know better than to call me out now? Who is it? There he is, Commissioner. Said you knew him. Oh, Kent. Well, quick man, there's anything happen. 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. It was a torpedo. A torpedo?

5:07That's what I said. And underwater torpedo fired from somewhere up the lake at the face of the Harley Dam. No wonder it shook. Here's what, but why? The time hadn't expired. What was the reason? Number one, the terrifiers. Number two, to show us what he could do. Hmm. Commissioner, when the time comes, the yellow mask can blow that dammit with a thousand bits. Where is he? Can 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. Uh, 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. And the proceedings are being broadcast so that everyone in Diaville will know what's going on. Oh, will I 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 the city? Billions of gallons can't. Well, there wouldn't be a chance. No, no, 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 Diaville's right in the way. Who's a Gorge? Commissioner, if you could block that Gorge,

6:07what would happen? Well, I don't know. Yeah, yes, I do too. The flood would go down the old riverbed. And miss the city? Missed entirely. Enjoying the river again two miles below Diaville. Commissioner, could you dynamite that Gorge? Block it up? Well, I don't know. Oh, no, no, we couldn't. Not 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. It can 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 there. Make a final decision. Come along. All right. Well, gentlemen, are you ready for the question, gentlemen? Yes. What a two-a-half vote. Leave me to my mind. Get it on the line. 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 Diaville. My other figure known as the Yellow Mask. All those in favor? Aye. Contrary, my bid.

7:08It is so bold. Gentlemen, you have made your decision. And I think your 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... What's the matter? Where is the commissioner? They're covering 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 must be doing the right way. I must be doing another threat. Yes, ma'am. I have released my torpedoes. The flood is already on its way. What is on the way? What is on the way? Order! Order, gentlemen. He can't meet it. That was just a threat. He can do it. Now keep your seats. Come in and keep your voice with that broadcast. Are you heard it on the radio yesterday? You know who it was. But I don't believe him. Where's that news reporter? Where's Clark Kent? Where's the news reporter?

8:09Where's the news reporter? Where's the news reporter? Where's the news reporter? What's the matter? Quiet. All of you. Listen. A phone call just came in Commissioner. The day has come. It's been blown to pieces. Paulie Dan is destroyed. The flood is coming down on Dio. Please. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I can't think of the right family. I can't. And meanwhile, where is Clark Kent? Vanished from the scene, changed into the twinkling to the flying form of Superman. Faster than an airplane. Red cloak streaming 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've a work test. 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. Lord, won't hurt me. I can't drown. But I can kill every living soul in Dioville. Faster, faster!

9:11Ah, 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 clips rise a hundred-fifth-one 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, blood water'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. Ah, one last chance. If I can rip that loose, crash it down there in the middle.

10:14Not much time. What's more, it's cracking, starting to go. Ow! It's down! It's done it! It's like the gorge! But the flood's going down the old channel. It'll miss Fire Bill by half a mile. In the last second of time, Superman tears down the hierarchy walls of Jefferson Borge, turns aside the mainstream of the flood, sends it down its old harmless channel, saves the city of Dyerville. And two hours later, in a telegraph office on the city's main street. All right, here comes another sheet, same address, perit white, daily planet. Well, Mr. Ken Fancy meeting you here. Hello, Lewis. Well, tell me it's all over. The flood missed Dyerville. And once again, do you mind telling me where you've been all the time? Oh, I don't know, out and around. Well, one thing, certainly. This time, it's my story, and not yours.

11:15Your story, you bet it is. Your cowardly running away, cut you right out of it. I've said, Mr. White, a complete account of how Dyerville will save from the flood. This is one time, Mr. Clark, hence when you were in on it. Heading a smile can't turn away. Then the smile abruptly fades. Dyerville is saved as Lewis says. But what of the yellow mask suddenly can't realize is 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. Superman is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics magazine.
