Lois is captured by the Spider Lady men,

who is seeking a supply of mineral

with which they plan to force Dr. Graham

to complete his Reducer Ray.

Clark and Jimmy trace her to an old mine.

But Clark also is captured and...

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 did we get here?

Superman got us out through a hole he made out

in the side of that hill.

He's wonderful, isn't he, Clark?

I guess so.

You guess so?

Say, weren't these handcuffs on our other hands before?

Heh, I guess that blow on the head

has got you confused a little.

Well, maybe.

Clark, Lois, am I glad to see you. What happened?

We'll tell you about that later.

First, let's get to someone who can take these handcuffs off.

Say, you two are really attached to each other, aren't you?

I must hand it to all of you for a page-one story.

Spider Lady's men murdered mining engineer

to obtain mono chromite ore.

We got the story, but they got the mono chromite.

Which proves that the Spider Lady

is trying to duplicate the relativity Reducer Ray.

Yeah, and Graham, the guy who developed the ray,

is her prisoner.

Graham is an honorable scientist.

He knows the ray is more powerful

than the atom bomb.

He'll never cooperate with her.

Unless the Spider Lady has some scheme in mind

to force him.

The Spider Lady.

Well, Dr. Graham, despite your efforts to hinder us,

we have the mono chromite.

What good will it do you? You don't know how to use it.

But you're going to show us how.

That I will never do.

I invented the ray for the benefit of humanity.

But in your hands it would be used

only in the forces of destruction.

Do you dare to defy me?

Why not?

You can only kill me.

How will that help you?

There's a scientific way to make him submit,

even against his will.

Turn him over to me.

Will his mind be clear?

Yes. He'll be completely at our command.

Very well.

Take him to the alcove, Driller.

Right.

Come on, you.

Is he ready?

Yes. He'll obey your orders.

I want you to complete our duplicate

of your ray machine.

Is there anything else you need besides the mono chromite?

Yes.

The real secret of the machine is in the relativity tube.

But it'll take months to reproduce it.

But that tube is in the instrument

at the Metropolis University, isn't it?

Yes.

Draw a diagram of its location, and tell how it can be detached.

You'll never get it. The place is too well-guarded.

Not for a plan which has just occurred to me.

Kent, here's the exclusive story for you and Jimmy:

a modern-science layout on the ray machine.

You mean they'd let us in to examine it?

Of course not, but we can photograph

the outside of the buildings.

Jimmy, you will handle the camera,

Kent can write the captions. Okay?

And where do I come in?

You don't. I need an article of the women's page.

Dream up a new way to cook a roast,

or toss a salad together.

How thrilling.

Cook up something good, Lois. I'll go for it.

Anytime, Mr. Kent. Just name your poison.

Jimmy, you go on ahead.

I'll follow as soon as I can check

on some information in the files.

Okay.

We're from the Globe and have permission

to shoot pictures of the grounds.

Do you have a pass?

Okay. Thanks.

Machine's in that building over there.

Stop!

But we have permission to take pictures here.

Well, you can take all you want on the outside.

But you cannot get in the building.

All right.

Say, how would you boys like to have your pictures made?

Why not?

Right over here.

All right, boys, right over here.

Now, you stand right here.

And you right there.

There you are. Now, smile right pretty.

That's it. Hold that.

You know what to do. Make it fast.

Do you have a pass?

Somewhere.

Here.

Well, there's three men from another publication

inside taking pictures.

What paper are they from?

The Globe.

Say, there's something funny about this.

The Planet has an exclusive on this story.

Had an exclusive, you mean.

Ha-ha. Very funny.

Hey.

Hey!

Where do you think you're going?

Did you see three fellows from the Globe around here?

Yeah.

They went towards the Science Building over there.

Say, uh, I'm after an exclusive angle.

Do you think I can have a peep at the machine

down in that vault?

Against orders. Keep moving.

Okay, can't blame a guy for trying.

Hey, better get the car started for a quick getaway.

That's a good idea.

Hey, what's going on here?

I'll take care of him. Get that into the car.

Hey, what are you guys...?

Stick 'em up.

Over to your car.

All right, inside.

Let's go.

What about Anton?

Forget him.

Our orders are to get this tube back safe.

Now, this time I'm not kidding. Get in here.

This looks like a job for Superman.

Superman, thanks for the help.

What's the reason for this?

He stole a tube from the ray machine.

His pals got away with it.

They've gone, but he didn't get away.

He's headed for jail.

Do me a favor. Turn him over to the Planet for questioning.

I'll get credit for a scoop.

All right,

I'll take him there now.

Superman.

Here's one of the Spider Lady's key men.

Where'd you nab him?

Near Metropolis University.

Jimmy Olsen deserves credit for the alarm.

He's bringing in the story.

Question him, then turn him over to the police.

You bet. Thanks.

Where's the Spider Lady?

Just what is she after?

How many men in her organization?

Well, if you won't talk for me, you will for the police.

Why does the fugitive Hackett appear in public?

Can even Superman counter all the moves

of his clever enemies?

Don't fail to see "Superman at Bay,"

chapter 14 of Superman at this theater next week.
