The skies are clear over the city as Cub

reporter Jimmy Olsen covers the

Metropolis beat in the Daily Planet

helicopter.

Olsen to Daily Planet. All's quiet

here. We'll circle back and... Yikes!

What's that?Great balls of fire!

In the farm area beyond city limits, a

flock of birds that look like men. Yeah I

mean men that look like birds. I mean,

holy smokes, I'm not sure, but whatever

they are, they're attacking the

farmlands. Sheepers, it looks

like organized looting and pillaging, and

some of them are stealing sacks of grain.

Others are raiding the refrigerated

storehouses. You should see what's going

on here. Now they're even

grabbing a farm animal.

In his office at the Daily Planet,

reporter Clark can't react swiftly to

Jimmy's radioed message. If someone

doesn't stop them soon, they'll strip the

Land Bear. This is a job for

Superman. Up, up, and away!

What a battle!

But there's not a thing they can do to

stop Superman. They're clawing at them,

tucking them with their beaks and wings,

trying to wrap themselves around them.

That's what the man of steel is trying

not to hurt them.

Great Scott. That silo is going to crush

the farmhouse.

The copter's in trouble, but I can't let

go of this silo now.

Well, how about that?Better follow

those birdmen. Up, up, and away!

Good luck, Superman! How about the way

those birdmen saved our lives?

I guess they can't be all bad, huh

And the same thought occurs to Superman

as he follows the fleeing Birdman to a

remote, uncharted valley in the

mountainous area known as the Roof of the

World. We meant no harm to humans.

We live in peace here,

where these flowers give off gases

which keep our species alive.

Then why did you raid the outside world?

Because... An outsider is

starving us. That's a lot of

nonsense.

Anyone who works is fed. Who

are you?My name is Trask.

I found gold in this valley, and

my men and I

persuaded these bird beings to

mine that gold. And

those who refused went hungry, ehThat's

about the size of it. Well, Trask,

I've got news for you. Yeah. Like

what?Like start packing

now. You don't give me

orders, Superman. Oh, really?

Well, let's hold it.

We've sprayed those life-giving

plants with chemicals. One

blast from our flamethrowers, and they'll

go up in smoke. No,

you wouldn't. No one can be so low.

I'll warn you. Don't try me.

No, don't do that.

Let 'em have it, man. The plants!

Burn the plants!

Great Scott! I'll take care of you

later, Trask. Up, up, and away!

With X-ray vision, Superman swiftly

locates underground streams that flow

through the valley. Moving with the speed

of light, Man of Steel releases geysers

of watch.

You've got to be kidding, boys.

Mustn't play. With

fire!

The fire didn't touch the plant roots.

They'll grow back to full bloom. Yes.

And thank you again, Superman.

As for this bunch, I promise neither

they nor anyone else will ever again come

to trouble you. Up, up,

and away!

And that's the Birdman story, Jimmy, as

told by Superman. Wow!

Terrific! But by the way, Mr.

Ken, do you know where that valley is

located?Well, yes, Jimmy,

but I promised to keep it strictly

secret between Superman and me.
