In a daring attempt to locate the Spider Lady's hideout,

Jimmy Olsen conceals himself in a packing case,

supposedly containing a valuable mineral,

which is to be taken there in a truck

driven by two members of the organization.

You better take a look and see if there's any damage.

There was a man in the box, but not now.

Where were you heading for?

Talk fast.

Speak up.

Sometimes I don't know my own strength.

We wasn't going anyplace.

A car was gonna meet us up the road and tell us where.

You working for the Spider Lady?

I don't know. We never saw her.

A guy named Anton hired us to do this job.

The shots probably frightened off

the men in the other car.

There's a rope in there. Get it.

What are you gonna do with us?

I'm gonna wrap you up for the police.

Take these men to the police in the next town.

All right, you can clear out now.

It's about time.

I phoned the Daily Planet.

Perry White said you was okay.

I told you that when I came in.

I know you did,

but I didn't have to believe you.

So Dr. Graham was too smart for us.

Has anybody got any more brilliant ideas?

What have you done with Dr. Graham?

Nothing.

He worked all night under guard, and he's sleeping.

Well, speak up. What do we do now?

Well, we gotta get the mono chromite somewhere.

Exactly. But how?

Every plant making and processing it

will be alerted and watched by the authorities.

But we must have it.

If we could locate some of the basic ore

containing mono chromite,

we might be able to process it here.

Do you know where you can find any?

I might be able to, through my contacts.

Well, use my radio.

The woman's touch you were to apply wasn't so effective.

We caught only two underprivileged characters,

who hardly know their own names.

Don't I even get credit for a good try?

No, Jimmy gets that, though it didn't pan out.

And as for you,

you picked a fine time to land in jail.

Well, I shouldn't have taken Lois' car.

Well, one thing we can be sure of,

the Spider Lady still needs that mineral.

We must watch for further attempts to get it.

Dr. Graham just woke up.

Any luck?

Yes. My contact informs me

that a mining engineer by the name of Collier

has a supply of mono chromite.

Where is this Collier?

He has an office

in the Armstrong Building in Metropolis.

I know where that is.

Good. Leave at once.

And take Brock with you.

If you have any trouble with Collier,

you know what to do.

Stay here.

Come in.

Are you Mr. Collier?

Yes, what can I do for you?

Andrews is my name.

Glad to know you.

I'd like to buy some mono chromite.

So would a lot of people.

It's hard to get. Who sent you to me?

No one. I just heard you had some.

Even if I had and I'm not admitting it,

I... I couldn't sell you any.

Why not?

Because it's on the restricted list.

I know. That just makes it cost a little more, doesn't it?

I don't do business that way.

You'll do business.

I want that stuff, and I'm gonna get it.

What happened?

The guy got tough.

We better get out of here.

Somebody must have heard that.

But we're coming back.

We still gotta get that mono chromite.

A mining engineer named Collier

in the Armstrong Building has been shot.

The police are not sure whether it's murder or suicide.

It might be an angle on the mono chromite.

Get on it.

Search that desk.

Lois hasn't phoned in.

I'm holding page three for her story.

Get down to Collier's office and see what's cooking.

Hey, look, somebody's been here.

Certainly somebody's been here.

Cops. That means reporters and others.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about, reporters.

Yeah, reporters.

What were you doing out there?

I just stepped out for a little fresh air.

Well, did you find what you was looking for?

We gotta get her out of here without being seen.

Let's roll her up in this rug.

She's not here.

Obviously.

This may prove that Lois was here, if it's hers.

I wonder how this window got broken.

Possibly in the struggle when Collier was shot,

if there was a struggle.

Maybe she's gone to the police station

or the hospital or something.

There is certainly nothing more we can do here.

Wait a minute.

This was scratched deliberately.

What is it?

A question mark and a cross.

What does it mean?

I don't know.

But obviously, it was meant to convey a message

to whoever might be here.

A question mark.

Interrogation mark.

Cross.

Cross.

What have you got there?

A mining engineer's guide.

It may help me find a clue.

Here's something.

A list of mines and mining locations.

I've got it.

Got what?

A location of a mine at Question Crossing.

Never heard of it.

Neither have I.

But those scratches mean something.

Lois was trapped here.

She left that clue.

How do we know they took her there?

That's what we've got to find out.

Yeah, but how are we gonna...?

Hey, wait for me.

No chance to get in that way.

There's another tunnel further along.

We can get to it under cover of brush.

You go in that way, and...

I'll go in here, but walk slowly.

Take him in the mine room.

We gotta get out of here. If he found us, others can.

Are we gonna take any more of the chromite?

No, we got enough.

Too bad company dropped in on us.

Now we gotta do something to keep 'em from blabbing.

How did you find me?

That's a long story. I'll tell you about that later.

If there is a later.

Only Superman could get us out of this.

Now to find a way out of here.

Have they gone?

Can you hear them?

How can Jimmy hope to stop these men?

Does the Spider Lady plan to take over the Daily Planet?
