Original subtitles

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

- Look. Up in the sky. -lt's a bird.

- It's a plane. -lt's Superman.

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.

And now, another exciting episode in the Adventures oi Superman.

When Clark Kent and Lois Lane, star reporters for the Metropolis Daily Planet...

...were assigned to write a story on the deepest oil well ever drilled...

...they little realized what was going to happen.

In the darkness of the night, two strange, furry creatures...

...half human, half animal, crawled out of the abandoned well shaft.

Although they seemingly meant no harm, everything they touched...

---some oranges, a flower, a child's rubber ball.

...glowed with an eerie light.

Despite Superman's warning that these fantastic visitors...

...from the center of the Earth might be radioactive and therefore deadly...

...a mob of men and dogs. led by Luke Benson...

---hunted them down and trapped them.

...on the high parapet of the dam, above the reservoir.

There they are.

You're not going to shoot those little creatures.

In the first place. they haven't done you any harm.

In the second place. they may be radioactive.

If they fall in the reservoir. they may contaminate the water supply.

Save your time and ammunition. Benson.

Webber. quick!

- Matt. bring on the dogs! - The other one's getting away!

Matt. come on!

Come on. Get. get.

I'm gonna get you to a hospital.

The dogs are acting mighty funny. Luke. Don't seem able to hold the scent.

They'll hold it once they get it. Come on.

What in tarnation is that?

Don't touch it. Come on.

They got him.

Leash the dogs. Matt. You heard me. Leash the dogs.

Luke. all we gotta do is pry the door loose. The dogs will finish him off.

I ain't aiming to lose my hounds. Get some dry sagebrush. Go on. get moving.

I get it. This old shed will catch like tinder. Roast the critter alive.

Get back now.

Keep an eye on that window. Eddie.

I think I seen it at the window.

Luke. what do you figure that shiny stuff was back there on the ground?

It's radium. They got it on them. lt's poison.

Reckon that does it.

- Didn't you hear a scream or nothing? - Nope.

Could be it ain't got no feelings.

The one you shot sure did. Never heard nothing scream like that.

- All right. let's go. - Luke.

Ain't you gonna see what it looks like?

That stuff ain't gonna cool off for hours. Come on. let's get back to town.

Well. we got both of them.

- Both what? - Them critters.

Yeah. Webber shot one of them off of the dam.

The dogs run the other into a toolshed on the old D&O spur. behind the arroyo.

We set the shed afire and burnt it down with him in it.

You ain't got but one man.

I just told you.

I know. I still say you ain't got but one. The other one's up at the hospital.

What are you talking about?

Superman caught him as he fell off the dam.

Took him to the hospital with a bullet in his chest.

Webber. you and Eddie round up the boys.

What do you figure on doing. Luke?

I figure on getting that critter and stringing him up.

You ain't stringing nothing up in this town. unless it's a slab of bacon.

Who's gonna stop me?

Won't need anybody to stop you because you ain't even commencing.

- Put the bracelets on him. Jim. - Stay where you are.

Put your gun up. I don't want any trouble with you.

You won't get any trouble unless you come looking for it.

Come on. Jim.

I don't think those two can stop Benson and his mob.

- We better go to the hospital and warn Kent. - Good idea.

- That man in the costume-- - Superman.

He had no right to bring that monstrosity in here.

And you. Dr. Reed. had no right to admit it without my authorization.

- I'm sorry. sir. but-- - Don't blame him. it was an emergency.

Young man. I’m running this hospital. Get that thing out of here immediately.

It's been shot. it might even be dying. You wouldn't treat a dog that way.

This is not a dog hospital.

I'm leaving. but I'll be back in the morning.

Don't let me find that thing in here or there will be trouble.

- The milk of human kindness. - But really. it isn't human.

- But how do we know? - That's just right. How do we know?

Doctor. would you remove the bullet from his chest?

How can I. Mr. Kent? If it's radioactive. I don't dare get near it.

Wait a minute. The lead screen we use in radiotherapy.

- Miss Ronson-- - Oh. no.

You don't get me in that operating room.

-It’ll need an assistant. -l'll assist. Come on.

You know. they got that creature that Webber shot up at the hospital.

Don't worry. we ain't gonna leave it there. We aim to get it and string it up.

Them reporters from back east and them oil people will try to stop us. like as not.

We ain't gonna be stopped.

This is our town. we don't need strangers telling us what to do.

Yeah! Right!

There's the sheriff. Luke. the sheriff.

You're under arrest. Benson.

If you know what's good for you. you'll tell them to loose me!

Keep him in jail till we're through. The rest of you. come on. Follow me.

You think he'll live?

Unless something develops. Complications set in.

You know. it's amazing. His chest structure is exactly like that of a human being.

Same thoracic cavity. same number of ribs. same lung position.

The only external difference seems to be in the hairy covering.

- And the large head. - Yes. I'd like to examine that head.

- I'm doing some work in brain capacity-- - Clark.

Where have you been? And what are you doing in that outfit?

- Hello. Lois. This is Dr. Reed. Miss Lane. - How do you do?

Do you know what happened? They shot one of those little monsters.

Dr. Reed just removed the bullet from his chest. He's in there.

- In there? - I brought--

That is. Superman brought him to the hospital.

- Then you know about Superman. - If I don't. who should?

L've gotta check the ward now. I'll keep an eye on it.

- Unless I get fired. - You won't. I’m sure.

Glad to have met you, Miss Lane.

- There goes a young man with courage. - I wish I could say the same for you.

- Lois. one of these fine days-- - One of these fine days what?

Never mind. Come on. I've gotta find Corrigan.

You always do that. Start to say something. then abruptly change your mind.

- I do? - What are you afraid of?

- What are you hiding? - Hiding?

You give the impression you're leading a double life.

Really?

Yes. and I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Well. that's very funny becau--

- What's the matter? - They're running up the street.

- Who? - Craig and Corrigan.

- I don't see anyone. - Just keep looking.

- They're coming. - Who?

Benson and the mob.

The sheriff told Benson that Superman brought one of the creatures to the hospital.

- Benson wants to hang him. - Oh. no.

- So it's turning into a real lynch mob. - Nothing will stop them now.

I wonder.

- Clark. where are you going? -l'll be right back.

He's scared to death. lt's pitiful.

Here they come.

I never thought I'd live to see anything like this.

Get her out of the way. Corrigan. before she gets hurt.

Mr. Corrigan doesn't have to get me out of the way.

I can get out of the way by myself if I feel like it. but I just don't feel like it.

- Take your filthy hands off-- - Hold it. Luke!

Why. you dirty coward!

Get her out of the way!

Don't even try to get in there, Benson. Dr. Reed's in charge tonight.

He's left orders that no one's to be admitted.

There's your answer. mister.

It may be an answer to you. It means nothing to me.

Well. we're running this town. We ought to string you up too.

Are you all right, Miss Lane?

You gonna step aside. or do we have to make trouble?

- Put some lead in him. Luke. - Mr. Benson tried that once. It didn't work.

I'm going to give you one last chance to stop acting like Nazi storm troopers.

- Who are you to tell us what to do! - All I’m telling you is...

...that little creature has as much right to live as you do.

Don't forget. you invaded his world. You sank a pipe six miles into the ground.

And when he climbed up. you set dogs on him. Shot him.

Get inside and stay away from the front of the building.

Whoever fired that shot came close to killing Miss Lane.

Obviously. none of you can be trusted with guns...

...so I’m going to take them away from you.

Get back inside.

What do you want?

Don't be afraid. No one's going to hurt you.

No one means you any harm.

You wait right there. Don't be afraid. Wait.

They want the wounded one.

- How do you know? They can't talk. - One of them made motions.

That's right. He pointed to me and held out his arms.

They knew I was the one that caught their friend when he was shot off the dam.

What was that shiny thing they pointed at you?

A weapon of some kind. Probably a very dangerous one.

- I better get him before they use it. - He shouldn't be moved.

He'll have to be. If we turn him over to them...

...and don't harm them. they'll take him and go back where they came from.

That'll be the end of it.

All right.

Hey. Luke. There's three of them in front of the hospital.

Keep everybody back here.

Turn it off! Stop!

Stop it! Stop!

Go now. No one will harm you.

Go back where you belong.

- You saved my life. - That's more than you deserve.

- You all right? -l'll live.

I got ahold of a Geiger counter and checked the woman and the little girl. No reaction.

Kent was right. It was just harmless phosphorescence.

Quick. Get back!

They're destroying the well and casing. so no one can get to them again.

It's almost as if they were saying:

“You live your lives. and we'll live ours.“

Don 't miss the next thrill-packed episode in the amazing Adventures of Superman.
