Up in the sky. Look, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman. Now Superman. Events on the main line of the West Coast Raroda are rapidly reaching a climax. Feeding West a silver clipper pours up the slope of the Rockies heading for Sandwark in past. Disasters, sudden and unseen lies waiting for it in Schooner Canyon Lake. While Superman wings his way through space searching desperately for the nearest mountain town.

He finds it. Drops down from the sky and enters the office of the local chief of police and his character of Park Kent reporter. Listen. Are you talk good? I'll say that for you Kent. Well, if you don't believe me, telephone my paper and ask for verification. Or call the division superintendent of the West Coast Railroad at Denver. They silver clippers of West Coast train. No, it is now, but it won't be long. I tell you if something isn't done in a hurry. It okay, but how are you going to prove it? As well as I get up there to the Sandwark team and pull in a couple of guys, well, how am I going to prove anything? Well, I'll attend to that. You know the circle Y Ranch? Sure. What about it? A couple of injured trainmen crawled in there a while ago. They were on that missing locomotive and tender. They were, huh? Wait, you don't mean it. I certainly do mean it. Hmm. If you get those two men I told you about, the one who calls himself the wolf and his henchman keynote, the mystery is solved. Rese, you begin to make sense, young fella. I got it. I'll do it. What's your plan? Get a fast car and head for the crossing at Sandwarkin.

You know the old Schooner Canyon junction? I reckon I can find it even in Madagascar. All right, get up there and hide. If we don't catch them red-handed, it's no good. That's what I'm waiting for. Okay, Kent. Say that is your name, Aiden. Hey, hey, where you going? I want to call my paper back east. Tell them to hold the presses for a big break. I'll pay for the call. Operator. Operator. I want Perry White, managing editor of the Daily Planet. Yes. A rush it, please. I'll hold the line. Hello, White speaking. Mr. White, this is Clark Kent. Kent, good luck, man. I thought you were dead. Where have you been all day? Kind up in a cellar, but I broke out. Listen, Mr. White, how long before you go to press? Oh, wait a minute. I'm going to press right now. Well, hold it, will you? Stop the press. It better be good, Kent. Don't worry, it will be. The big break on the Western Railroad story. Kent, are you kidding? You know the warnings on the silver carpet? I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Kent, are you kidding? You know the warnings on the silver clipper? It's coming off tonight.

Where are you now? In a police station, a little town on the main line. What's going to happen? I don't know, Mr. White. But I know this much. It won't be long. I've got to go now. Will you hold the press? Okay, Kent. You won't regret it. I'm calling the minute I have something. I can't wait. What's all this about a mysterious flying figure? Something called a Superman. Oh, forget this Mr. White. Somebody's pipe dream, huh? There's been a lot of talk. I'm forgetting. I'm in a position to know. Come on, Mr. White. Good luck, Kent. I'll be waiting. Hey, stop the press. Replay the coming. Top column on the western railroad. Get a rewrite back. Superman, eh? As you'd say, I am in a position to know. Huh? That much time with a wolf waiting there at the canyon. If I don't get back in time to fix that switch, 40 miles more. Faster!

Let's get out of this tunnel. I don't like it. Not too long to wait. What's the time, Kino? Five minutes more. She's on time. She was on time at Creteville. Come on, boys. Let's speed it up. A very sound idea, Kino. In five minutes or something less, let's tell her we're the most unhealthy place. What do you think will happen? Something resembling the end of the world, Kino. Screaming breaks, rendings steal. Girls of steam. Yes, decidedly we should move my friend. Come. Where to? Down in the tracks, but we can observe the switch. Close to the scene of action. But not two clubs. Listen, are you sure they can't stop in time? Down hill, 90 miles an hour, and possible, Kino. What if she leaves the rails of the switch? What if she can't take the courage? I'll chance but not likely. Come on, man. Get going. Hey, someone's coming. Hey, hey, someone's coming. Get out of that, she's going to hide me. Quick, Kino. Let's go now. There's the train.

Pluggling fast, all right? Ah, there's the junction. Got a minute, maybe less. Now then. One of those devils is under the tracks. I'm broken the seals and thrown the switch, eh? Well, it won't take long to fix that. And I'll just rip up a huge old, flat-line rails. Just to be sure. Yeah, not out of settle things. Well, well, look who's coming. Hey, boss. Who's that guy top of the switch? Look, he's channeling the track. Well, well, what are you doing? Where's your gun? Shoot, shoot. Don't worry, boss. I'll get him. I never missed yet. Bottom, boss. No, no, you didn't. There he is. You missed him, you fool. Never mind, boss. I won't miss him this time. Hey, you. Kino, what's the matter with you? All right, then, rush him. The train. Here comes the train. Get that man away from there, Kino. Boss, speed it, speed it. It's him, I see him now. It's a man with the wrecked. The train, the train. Run, Kino. Run, make the car. Made it.

Through the switch, just in time. Gone, silver clipper. I've balled for Salt Lake City in the west. Now then, after those lads in the car. What did you do? Here I come. I tell you it was him. The guy in the red cape, the Superman. Shut up, you know. Whoever was outside with him, he threw the switch back and saved the train. Boss, fast it. Get away from here. If your head, Kino, there's something about this. I don't understand. Boss, look out. He's right behind us. He saw our heads. Look, look. What is that thing? He's down in the road ahead. He's standing there. Look out. We're gonna crash. Sorry to disturb you, gentlemen. Don't try to get away.

Why, you. What the hell? Let me go. Let me go. Let me go. One moment. Just now while I hold both of you with one hand, I've got something else to do. That car, for instance, you won't need it again. Where you're going? To make this accident look convincing. The car. Look what he's doing to the car, Boss. He's right behind it. There. No one will ever ride in that again. Hello. Here comes the car. The crash must be the police. Well, so long, gentlemen. I'm leaving you now. And if you ever wreck another train or try to, think what you've missed this time. Goodbye. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Hey, hey. Here's where that crash was. There's a couple of guys lying in the road. Hey, grab them, boys. I got them there. Well, I wouldn't wonder if they were here. I'm going to get out of there. I'm going to get out of there. Hey, hey. Here's where that crash was. There's a couple of guys lying in the road. Hey, grab them, boys.

I got them there. Well, I wouldn't wonder if they were the fellas that newspaperman was talking about. They tried to make it get away and cracked up. Well, look where that car got to. There's a lot of lights like a sidephone. Hey, hey. Yes, doesn't it? Or that superman they keep talking about? What? Good evening, Chief. Hey, there. Oh, why? It's the report. Well, howdy, Mr. Ken. Well, I see you got them all right. Yes, but there was no train wreck. I guess we scared them all, right? Keep them off. Keep them off. We done it. Put me in jail. Put me anywhere. But that guy touched me again. He just came flying through the air. Hey, he's nuts of his head. But that was a confession if I ever heard one. Yes. And if you'll drag the bottom of Schooner Canyon Lake, you will find that missing engine and tender. Huh? And don't forget those two trainmen at the Circle Y Ranch. They'll be your star witnesses. Well, congratulations, Chief. You've caught the train wreckers, all right?

Er, thanks to you, Mr. Ken. Well, hey, hey, where you going? I've got to get back to town. My paper's waiting for the story. See you later, Chief. Well, well, Ken. Come on in. Well, let's find a see you back. You've certainly made good in a big way. Thanks, Mr. White. And to show you what I think of you, I'm going to start your ride out on another assignment. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. That's the best news I could possibly hear. No, wait till you do hear it, my boy. There are one or two things I want to ask you about first. Yes, sir. I know it sounds foolish, but all these rumors about the mysterious flying figure, Claude and the red cape and all that. Do you know anything about this Superman? Do I know anything about this Superman? What Chief? But a silly question. All right, all right, let it go. I want to talk to you about your next assignment. Just pull up your chair. Yes, sir. Oh, come on, I told him not to disturb me. Sit here, old White.

You've caught the wolf, my friend, for all the good of the theory. The wolf has a master, and the master speaks to you now. Say, who is this? It can't get over here. My compliments, Mr. Kent, on your first and last performance. What's he mean? You and your newspaper have interfered with my plans. Very well, my friend.
