All language subtitles for Adventures of Superman - 06x13 - All That Glitters

NARRATOR:
The Adventures of Superman!

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful
than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

MAN 1: Look! Up in the sky!
MAN 2: It's a bird!

WOMAN: It's a plane!
MAN 3: It's Superman!

NARRATOR:
Yes, it's Superman,

strange visitor
from another planet,

who came to Earth
with powers and abilities

far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change
the course of mighty rivers,

bend steel in his bare hands,

and who,
disguised as Clark Kent,

mild-mannered reporter for
a great metropolitan newspaper,

fights a never-ending battle

for truth, justice
and the American way.

You, uh, sent
for us, chief?

Yes.

Uh, this is Mr. Salem,
secretary of the treasury.

How do you do?

Mr. Carter, president
of the International World Bank.

Gentlemen, Miss Lois Lane
and Mr. James Olsen,

two of my reporters.

I-I was just showing them
this-- This pound of gold

I made in my laboratory.

Gold?
You made it?

Astonishing, isn't it?

Just think, ever since
medieval times,

the alchemists and scientists

have been trying to transmute
base metal into gold.

And I'm the first one
who ever found how to do it.

I still can't bring
myself to believe it.

Oh, it's gold,
all right.

You tested it yourself
with acid a few minutes ago.

Pure 24-karat gold.

But, uh, you didn't say
how you made it.

Uh, now, now,
Mr. Carter.

Professional secrets,
you know.

But how do we know
you didn't just

go someplace
and buy that?

Oh, I can vouch
for the professor, gentlemen.

While he's invented
some strange things in the past,

they've always worked.

And I've never known him
to tell a falsehood.

Kent's right about that.

If Professor Pepperwinkle
said he made that bar of gold,

you can depend on it.
He really made it.

Then I guess there's
no doubt of it.

But tell me, professor,
how long did it take you?

Oh, not very long.

After all, I only made
this one pound.

More than $500
worth of gold

and he acts as if
it didn't amount

to a hill of beans.

Professor, could you
make more of that?

Oh, tons of it.

That is, if I had
enough raw material.

Scrap iron
and various other ingredients.

[GIGGLES]

No trouble at all.

Mr. White, this is
the most alarming invention

I've ever heard of.

If he starts making
gold by the ton,

do you realize what will happen
to this country's economy?

Why, our monetary system
would be shattered,

and Fort Knox would
become a ghost town.

Not only that,
it would destroy

the international
banking structure

and throw world trade
into a panic.

That's why I asked you gentlemen
to this conference.

When the professor told me
about making this gold,

I realized it could
ruin the nation.

And you wouldn't want that
to happen, would you, professor?

Oh, gracious goodness, no.

Imagine turning Fort Knox
into a ghost town.

Oh, dear, dear.
That would be dreadful.

It sure would.

Professor, for the good
of the United States--

For the good
of the entire world.

We must ask that you
forget this invention.

And promise never
to use it again.

They're absolutely
right, professor.

You mustn't make
any more gold.

Well, all right,
if you say so.

I won't make another bit.

Good.
Good, good.

Uh, now, gentlemen,
if you'll excuse us,

we have
an appointment.

I have to get
back to Washington.

Goodbye, gentlemen.
Thank you for your courtesy.

Thank you so much for coming.

Remember, I don't want
one word of this to leak out.

And that goes double for you,
Mr. J. "Blabbermouth" Olsen.

Oh, cross my heart, chief.

I won't spill a word.

Golly, professor,
I never thought

I'd live to see the day
that I'd be sitting

with the man that could
turn rusty old iron

into 24-karat gold.

Oh, it's really no trick at all.
[GIGGLES]

In fact, I'm surprised
I didn't think of it before.

LOIS:
Jim, you better remember
what Mr. White said.

You're not even supposed to be
talking about it.

Nobody's listenin'.

Besides, as long as
the professor's promised

not to make anymore gold,
what's the difference?

You can at least
lower your voice.

JIMMY:
All right.

When that professor-type
character leaves his friends,

we'd better make sure
he gets home safe and sound.

Why, Mr. Mitchell here's
got one of the kindest hearts

you've ever seen, professor.

If I was to shoot you right now,
he'd be terrible sore at me.

Well, ha-ha,
I'm certainly glad to hear that.

But sore or no sore,
I'm gonna plug you

unless you make us
a batch of gold.

Now, now, Elbows,
take it easy.

We don't wanna be
greedy about it.

All we want is, say,
a couple of tons.

A couple of tons?

Why, that's over, uh, uh,
$2 million worth.

We'd be satisfied
with that.

With $2 million,
me and Elbows could live

like millionaires.

Without it, you might
not live at all.

I won't do it. I refuse.

You're pretty fond
of that young reporter

on the Planet.

Um, now, let me see,
what is his name--?

Oh, uh, Jimmy Olsen?

Surely you wouldn't
harm him or Miss Lane.

Well, uh, we wouldn't want
anything to happen to 'em,

but I am afraid
their health

might take a sudden
turn for the worse

if you don't make
that gold for us.

Well, what do you say?

I say this is blackmail.

Call it
whatever you like.

Well, I can't let
anything happen

to those two young people
on my account, can I?

Of course
you can't.

And I don't suppose
a mere $2 million

would upset the economy
of the world,

even if it were--
Were in gold, would it?

No, no, it wouldn't.

Of course
it wouldn't.

Well, then I guess
I'll have to do it.

Now you're talkin',
professor.

Yeah, but I'll have
to have raw materials,

scrap iron
and various other ingredients.

It'll, uh--
It'll all cost money.

Don't worry your head
about it. Here.

Here's 10,000 bucks.
Buy whatever you need.

Ooh, 10,000 bucks?
Are you sure you can afford it?

You make me $2 million
worth of gold,

and there will be plenty more
where that came from.

When will the stuff be ready?

Well, I can't make
two tons overnight.

The machine will only turn out
about 10 pounds a day.

How much is that
in cash?

Uh, let's see, that's a...

That's--
That's a little over $5600.

Almost $6000 a day.

Wow.

That will be
quite satisfactory.

We will be back
the same time tomorrow

to pick up the first batch.

And something better
be ready, understand?

Yes, indeed.

[���]

Yes, something will be ready.

[GIGGLES]

Well, good morning,
Mr. Kent.

Why the gloomy look?

Oh, the chief's trying
to send me out of town

to cover a convention.

Golly, what's the matter
with that?

A free trip with
all expenses paid.

I wish he was
sending me.

I wish he'd send you too.

Personally,
I'd rather stick around

and keep a weather eye
on Professor Pepperwinkle.

Oh, you worry
too much.

Yes, but I've got
a curious feeling

that something's
about to happen.

How can anything
happen

when we're
keeping it a secret?

[CHUCKLING]

Well, and if it did,

Superman would
take care of it.

Well, I'm sure
he would, Jimmy,

only with me being
out of town--

What's the difference?

You're never around
when Superman's around.

It, uh, does look
that way, doesn't it?

And incidentally,
why all this interest

in the professor?

Do you have
an inside tip

or something?

No, no, just sort of
a hunch.

Oh, by the way, uh,
the professor called,

you know,
while you were both out.

What did he say?

Oh, you know him,
he's so vague.

It was something about, uh,

for the both of you
not to worry,

he'd attend to it personally.

Uh, oh, I gotta be going.
I'll see you later.

Attend to what?

Hey, I'd better
call the professor.

I've got a better idea.
Why don't we go see him?

All right, let's.

It's so peaceful around here.

It doesn't seem as there could
possibly be any trouble.

Anything the professor's
mixed up in

can be trouble, Jim.

Well, Miss Lane,
Mr. Olsen.

[CHUCKLES]

Come right in.
Come in. Ha-ha.

I don't want you
to worry about a thing.

No cause for alarm.

Everything's gonna be
quite all right.

I'm not the least bit upset,
and there's no danger apparent.

And I have no intention
of going back on my promise

to the secretary
of the treasury.

Whoa, professor.

They've been here.

Who's been here,
professor?

Two men with guns.

And they want you
to make some gold for them.

Two million dollars' worth.

Uh, how did you know?

Oh, it figures.

Somebody must have had
a big mouth.

And, uh, I guess I know
who that bigmouth is.

You?

Me. Those two guys
in the next booth.

Don't worry about it, Mr. Olsen.

[GIGGLES]

They're never gonna
get the gold.

But you said
they have guns,

so obviously they're
dangerous men, professor.

I'm sometimes a dangerous man
myself, Miss Lane.

[GIGGLES]

Although you might not think it
to look at me.

Let's not be
silly about this.

The first thing
we've got to do

is get Superman
right on the job.

No, no, no.
Don't bother about him.

Don't bother about that.
Now, I-- Oh, here.

I want to-- I want
to show you something.

Uh, just here. Now, here.
Just, uh, look up there.

Do you see those two,
uh, sandbags?

Well, that's another one
of my inventions.

I call it the automatic
crook-stopper.

You see, when my two guests
arrive tomorrow

for their first batch
of gold, I simply--

Oh, I just maneuver them
into this position.

Right under
the sandbags, huh?

Exactly.
And then:

Isn't this, uh, sort of
Rube Goldbergish?

Exactly.
Hee, hee, hee.

But effective.

And while they're completely
unaware of their peril,

I simply...press the button--

[MACHINE BUZZES]

Oh!
Jimmy!

Oh, goodness
gracious me.

[���]

Oh, the poor boy.
Oh, Jimmy.

Here, here, here, here.
Help him, professor.

Jimmy, are you
all right?

Oh, I guess so.

Oh, dear, how can I
ever forgive myself?

Oh, it's okay,
professor.

Does it hurt, Jim?

Only when I breathe.

Now, professor,
what about those crooks

that are forcing you
to make the gold?

Well, it's, uh,
not important, really.

Not important?

But we've gotta
get in touch with Superman.

Well, we won't
need him.

We don't need him?
No.

You see, I've made
an amazing discovery.

Oh, no, not
another one.

Yes, Miss Lane.

I've discovered
what gives Superman

his super-powers.

You what?
You have?

Yes, indeedy.

Now, we know that Superman
originally came here

from the planet Krypton
before it exploded, right?

Yes.

We also know that the explosion
scattered billions of particles

of the element kryptonite
in outer space.

Sure. Kryptonite's
the only thing

that can take away
Superman's super-powers.

It's just a good thing
that practically none of it

landed on the earth,
or he'd be in a bad way.

Yeah, he certainly would.

[GIGGLES]

Well, it just so happens,

I accidentally discovered
a supply of it

right in my backyard.

You did?

Yes. And when I put it through
some scientific tests,

what do you suppose
I discovered?

It's actually made up
of two different kinds:

kryptonite-positive
and kryptonite-negative.

What do you know
about that?

And I also found out
that it's Negative Kryptonite

that's capable
of harming Superman.

And do you know why?

Because he's charged
with Positive Kryptonite.

Then it's
the Positive Kryptonite

that gives him
his super-powers.

Yes, and the Negative
Kryptonite

destroys those powers

because it neutralizes
his positive charge.

Well, that figures.

But what good is it
to know all this?

I mean, of what
use is it?

Oh, there's a great deal
of use, Miss Lane.

Here, let me
show you something.

Now, you see this, uh--
This machine right here?

Well, this, uh--

This separates, uh,
Positive Kryptonite

from Negative Kryptonite.

It destroys
the negative kind,

which is harmful
to Superman,

and it purifies
the positive kind.

Now, let me show you.

[BUZZING]

Now.

Now, here.

You, uh...

Now, these tablets
are positive-type kryptonite

in pure form.

If a person swallows
one of these,

he'll be just like Superman
and can do anything he can do.

Have you taken
any of them?

[GIGGLES]

Oh, dear, no, no.

It wouldn't be scientific

for a scientist
to experiment on himself.

Well, then, how do you
know it works?

I'll show you.

[GIGGLES]

Come on, little one.
Come out of here, now.

Come on.
Yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah.

Now, I fed this little mou--

Stop that.

I fed this little mouse

a 100th of a milligram
of kryptonite.

Now watch.

[SQUEAKING]

[GIGGLING]

Be quiet now, be quiet.

Now, see, kryptonite
changed a regular mouse

into a super-mouse.

Golly, Miss Lane, if we took
those kryptonite pills,

we could capture
those two crooks

as easily as Superman.

And just think,
what a way to get stories.

If a tip came in, bingo,
we'd fly there to cover it.

And Clark Kent could
never scoop us again.

Then--
Then you'll, uh...

You'll try them?

Well, it didn't
hurt the mouse,

how can it hurt us?

I don't feel anything,
do you?

Frankly, no.

Well, here, here.

Uh, see-- See if
you can bend this.

[CREAKS]

Oh, golly.

Here, you try it.

[CREAKS]

Ooh.

Well, for goodness' sake.

Well, tell me,
professor,

do you know where
the two crooks

have their hideout?

I don't know
anything about them,

except they gave me
$10,000 expense money.

Ten thousand dollars.
Golly.

Let's see that a minute.

They're all
new bills, Jimmy,

and with the bank wrapper
still on them.

Well, that's nice,

but what difference
does it make how old they are?

It might make
a lot of difference.

It says "First National Bank."

We better
pay them a visit.

Why don't we fly there?

How else?

Uh, the door's
over there, Mr. Olsen.

This way's better.

[LAUGHS]

How do you like that?
Just like Superman.

Come on, Miss Lane.

Here I go.
Whee!

[AIR WHOOSHES]

[���]

Mr. Goldby, this is
Miss Lane and Mr. Olsen

from the Daily Planet.

We've met before I think.
How do you do, Miss Lane?

How do you do?
Mr. Olsen.

Hello, sir.

Well, now, just what can the
First National Bank do for you?

Miss Lane and Mr. Olsen
flew in for some information.

Flew in?

Well, yes.

We were wondering if one
of your regular depositors

recently withdrew $10,000

in new $100 bills
with consecutive serial numbers.

Why, yes, such a withdrawal
was made only yesterday

by Mr. Buggs Morgan,
the eminent gangster.

I suppose you have
his address.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Morgan uses
the Acme Warehouse Company

as a front.

Well, thank you.
That's all we need to know.

Uh, care to have
any money?

No, thank you.

But may we use
your window?

Why, of course.

We only put up
the bars at night.

[���]

I thought only Superman
did that.

Superman and Lois Lane
and Jimmy Olsen.

[���]

It's locked.

Hey, wait a minute,
if we're just like Superman,

maybe we have x-ray vision.

And super-hearing.
Let's try it.

Okay.
Concentrate.

[���]

Two tons of gold
is 2,240,000 bucks.

That's the 2,240,000th time
you figured it out.

Just like to be sure.

I still think
we should have

brought the professor
and his goofy machine

here with us,

instead of leaving him
at his place.

What time was it yesterday
when we dropped in on him?

Around half past 2.

It's 2:00 now.

That first batch of gold
ought to be about done.

Yeah. Let's go.

Shall we take them,
Miss Lane?

Allow me.

Look, they knocked
the door down

just like Superman.

Don't just stand there,
do something.

[FIRING]

The bullets bounce off them,
just like Superman.

That's because
we are like Superman.

And you two crooks
are washed up.

Allow me, Miss Lane.

Be my guest.

[GROANING]

That will teach them
to fool with Super-Olsen.

You find some ropes
and tie them up,

I'll call the police.
Right, Miss Lane.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[GIGGLES]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[���]

JIMMY:
Professor?

Ohh!

Oh, this is terrible.

Terrible.
Are you all right?

What?

What's that?

Is your head all right?
Does it hurt, Jimmy?

My head?

Oh, it's okay, I guess.
But what happened?

Help me get him up.

I remember.

I got conked on the head
by these sandbags.

What did you rig up
the sandbags again for

when we already captured
those two crooks?

What are you
talking about, Jimmy?

We didn't capture
any crooks.

Well, sure we did.
Don't you remember?

W-we took those
kryptonite pills

that made us
just like Superman.

Kryptonite?
What kryptonite?

The ones you invented.

I didn't invent
any kryptonite.

Sure you did,
and then we crashed

through this wall
over here...

Well, it's all fixed up,

but how did you repair it
so quickly?

I didn't need to.
It didn't need it.

You never crashed
through the wall.

I did too.

Just like this.
I'll show you.

Well...

Maybe the pill is wearing off.

Jim, we didn't
take any pills.

You mean that we didn't
bend that iron bar and--

And fly through the air
like Superman?

We got here
just a few minutes ago.

The sandbag fell down,
knocked you unconscious,

and we've been trying
to bring you to ever since.

Getting hit
in the head

must have given you
hallucinations.

You must have
been dreaming.

I can't believe it.

Oh, no.

I thought we left
you two tied up

at the warehouse.

This guy isn't thinking
very clear, boss.

Tie 'em up.

All right,
professor,

where's our first
batch of gold?

Oh, I haven't made it yet.

Uh, I figured my sandbags
would knock you out,

and I wouldn't have to.

Well, you figured wrong.

Now get busy and start
making that gold.

Otherwise it's gonna be
very unhealthy around here

for your friends.

Yeah.
Real unhealthy.

Oh, dear, dear.

Well, then, I guess
I have no choice.

That you haven't.

Now get busy and start
making that gold.

This time we're
gonna watch you.

All right, all right,
if you insist.

[MACHINE SQUEALS]

Geh!

Now, uh, first
we put in the scrap iron.

Yeah, these, these.

Oh, yeah.
Then we got these two here.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, yeah, ha-ha-ha.
These go in too.

[GIGGLES]

Oh, that's it, ha.

Oh, now, now,
mustn't forget this.

What's that stuff?

Uh, apple cider.

It's a very important
ingredient.

[STEAM BLOWING]

Oh, yes, yes.
That reminds me.

Here, these--
These go in too.

Uh, peanuts.

Shells and all?

Shut up. He knows
what he's doing, I hope.

Look, dad, when's
the gold come out?

Oh, just as soon--

Just as soon as I, uh--

I put in this--
This bar of platinum.

Did you say platinum?

Yes, indeed.

That's the only trouble
with my invention.

To make $5000 worth of gold,

I have to use $10,000
worth of platinum.

You mean that gold costs
more to make than it's worth?

Yeah. We lose $5000
on every ten-pound bag.

[GIGGLES]

Did-- Did I forget to tell you?

Holy smokes, boss.

If he makes us two tons
of gold, we'll go bankrupt.

Stop the machine.
Turn it off before I go broke.

Oh, I'm afraid it's too late
for that now.

[BEEPING]

[MACHINE SQUEALING]

See, see, see, here you are.

Here's the--
The gold's already made.

Pure 24-karat.
Ha, ha.

Ten pounds.

You gypped me.

Tie him up with the rest.

We're gonna get
even with him.

We sure will.

Ooh.

How will we get even?

Get that dynamite
out of our car.

Kent, what are you
doing back in town?

I thought I sent you
to cover that convention.

Missed my plane.

Missed your plane?

Yes, sir, but--
But it's all right.

I phoned long distance,
and I found out

the convention doesn't
start till tomorrow.

So I just came on back
to the office.

Well, it's probably
just as well.

Now you can go out

and try to find
Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.

Why? What's
happened to them?

That's what I'd
like to know.

They left here several
hours ago without a word

and haven't been
back since.

Pepperwinkle,
I'll bet you.

What do you mean,
"Pepperwinkle"?

I'll see you later,
chief.

People come and go here
all day long

and tell me nothing.

[���]

You mustn't
do that.

You'll ruin
my gold-making machine.

Yeah, and everything
else in here,

including you
and your friends.

Come on, let's
get out of here.

Yeah. Hey, boss.
Let's take this with us.

Ah, we might as well
save something out of them.

[���]

[AIR WHOOSHING]

Oh, dear, my-- My poor
gold-making machine.

Broken beyond repair.

[GROANS]

But I guess the-- The process
was too expensive anyway.

Are you all right,
Miss Lane?

Thank heavens
you're here, Superman.

How 'bout Jimmy?

[LAUGHS]

Oh!
Ha, ha, ha.

Miss Lane, will you please
release Jimmy

and the good professor here?

I have to go catch those crooks.

[AIR WHOOSHES]

I did not faint.

I was just so tired
from doing

all those Superman stunts
in that dream I had

that I fell asleep.

[GROUP LAUGHS]

I did!

Well, anyway, Superman
captured the crooks,

and the good professor here

isn't going to make
any more gold

at three times
what it's worth.

No, indeedy.
Ha, ha!

I certainly won't.

Well, now that
that's settled,

suppose you two go out
and start writing the story

for the next edition.

Including my dream?

Definitely not.

Let's face it,
Jimmy.

Like I said, none of us
will ever be able to do

the things Superman does.

I guess not.

But golly, Mr. Kent,
you'll never know

how wonderful it is
to be like Superman.

No, Jimmy, I--
I guess I never will.

NARRATOR:
Don't miss the next
thrill-packed episode

in the amazing
Adventures of Superman .

Superman is based
on the original character

appearing in Superman magazine.
