Original subtitles

The Spider Lady's men daringly steal the kryptonite

from the museum,

even though it was guarded by the police and Superman.

Lois tries unsuccessfully to stop the men.

And now, as they flee leaving her in deadly peril&.

Stand back.

There's no one in here.

The screams came from this. We've been tricked.

Again, Superman makes use of his x-ray vision.

Superman, how can I ever thank you?

Don't try now. You'll be seeing me again.

Up, up and away.

Stop kidding, I'm not in the mood for fun.

This kryptonite is supposed to handle him.

Look, it works.

The kryptonite can stop Superman.

Let's get outta here.

A good job well-done, gentlemen.

Thank you.

The kryptonite will be the means of acquiring the secret

of the relativity reducer ray.

With its concentrated force,

it can blast any known target in the world.

With Superman under control... the job should be easier.

We're dealing with the deadliest and most powerful forces.

Kryptonite and the reducer ray.

We need scientific help.

What scientist would work with us?

Dr. Hackett.

But he couldn't keep his genius within the law,

and now he's wasting his knowledge in state penitentiary.

Then what good is he to us?

None.

Until we work out a plan to get him out of prison.

What's that?

A prisonbreak?

When did it happen?

Is he still at large?

Okay, I'll put a man on the story right away.

Send in Clark Kent.

Hello, this is Kent.

Okay.

Kent, I have an assignment for you.

Good.

There's been a jailbreak at the penitentiary.

You've heard of Dr. Hackett?

Why, yes. A brilliant scientist with a warped mind.

That's right. He's escaped from prison.

He's still on the loose.

Get the facts.

Right, sir.

And Kent...

I don't have to tell you what it means to the paper

if we can catch Dr. Hackett.

I was thinking that, sir.

What now, little man?

Oh, I'm on my way to make with the story.

Some visiting fireman?

No, a departing fireman.

Aw, that'll make fine copy. Good luck.

Thank you, Miss Lane.

I don't know any doctor.

But you must have heard of Dr. Hackett.

I tell you, I don't know any doctor.

I'd pay a lot for information about him...

where he's hiding and so on.

How much?

Oh, so you do know something about him.

I didn't say so.

I wonder what that stool pigeon is doing now.

I tell you I don't know nothing, so I can't tell you nothing.

Hawkins?

Haw...

Were you talking to Clark Kent?

No, he was talking to me.

What did he wanna know?

About a Dr. Hackett.

What about him?

Why, didn't you know he'd escaped from the pen?

So that's it.

Clark thought you might know where Hackett is.

Do you?

I was thinking about getting something to eat.

I'll buy you the best meal you ever had.

Come on, we'll take my car.

Okay.

So you think this supposedly sick man at the cabin

might be Dr. Hackett?

I'm not saying he is or he ain't.

All I know is

the Spider Lady's men are keeping him undercover there.

Mm-hm.

Well, thank you, Hawkins.

Thanks for the feed.

Open up, Hackett. It's Anton and Brock.

Anybody been snooping around, Hackett?

Not that I've noticed.

Am I to stay here?

Oh, no, we're getting you outta here.

There's a police dragnet out for you,

but we're taking you to the Spider Lady.

Won't that be risky?

Not the way we're gonna do it.

The Man of Steel uses his supersensitive hearing.

This bandage will make a good disguise,

and a fake ambulance will get us through any roadblocks.

And, uh, when we reach the Spider Lady?

Mm, that'll be up to her.

You better wrap yourself in a blanket just in case.

We'll be back with the ambulance as soon as we can.

Sorry, doctor, but I'll have to take over from here.

I hope you don't mind if I substitute for ya.

I want the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Yes.

Oh, Kent?

You what?

You found Hackett?

Where?

In a summer cabin on Highway 18, four miles west of Junction 99.

Send the police to pick him up and then print the story.

What am I gonna do?

Find the Spider Lady's hideout.

You're what?

Now, listen, Kent,

if you muff this story with any wild ideas, I'll...

I'll...

Okay.

Everything's all set, Hackett.

Who are you? Where's Dr. Hackett?

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Hackett.

It seems that my hiding place is becoming too popular.

Have you a car?

Yes.

Then lead me to it.

Well, doc, if everything goes all right, we'll soon be...

Hey, where'd you get those clothes?

Anton, pull up, something's wrong. This ain't Hackett.

We've got to get to Hackett. Quick.

I can't let them find Hackett again.

This looks a job for Superman.

Don't try any tricks.

There was another reporter in that car.

Slow down.

I know the men in that ambulance.

I don't. I have no desire to.

Stop the car or I'll shoot.

And what would happen to you if you did?

What will be the Spider Lady's next move?

Will the deadly kryptonite

always render Superman powerless?

For the answers, see "Into the Electric Furnace!"
