"A planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens." "Their civilization was far advanced, and it brought forth a race of superman whose mental and physical powers were developed to the absolute peak of human perfection." "But there came day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever." "One of the planet's leading scientists, sensing the approach of doom placed his infant son in a small rocket ship and sent it hurtling in the direction of the Earth just as Krypton exploded." "The rocket ship sped through star-studded space landing safely on Earth with its precious burden Krypton's sole survivor." "A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it to an orphanage." "As the years went by, and the child grew to maturity he found himself possessed of amazing physical powers." "Faster than a speeding bullet." "More powerful than a locomotive."

"He plans to strike tonight." ""Beware, you fools." "My Electrothanasia-Ray strikes tonight at 12." "Total destruction will come to those who laughed at me and failed to heed my warning." "Beware, I strike at midnight."" "This nut may prove dangerous." "Kent, you help Lois follow up her lead." " She may have an angle on this thing." " Yes, sir." "But, chief, I'd like the chance to crack the story on my own." " Well, now" " Thanks, chief." "But, Lois..." "Chief, don't you think that's a dangerous mission?" "The hour has come." "I'm a reporter for the..." "So you want a story?" "I'll give you the greatest story of destruction the world has ever known." "How is that for a story, Miss Lane?" "Flash." "True to his threat, the Mad Scientist whose warnings have held the city in a grip of terror went on his rampage of destruction on the stroke of midnight." "The deadly impact of his mysterious ray smashed the famous Tower Bridge hurling cars and pedestrians into the river below." "The police have warned everyone to remain in their homes."

"What have you done with the jewels?" "You'll read about it in tomorrow's paper." "Are you going to tell me what happened to those jewels?" "So you won't tell me?" "You'll soon change your mind." "Superman." "Take one more step, and she's doomed." "That's a wonderful story, Lois." "Thanks, Clark." "But I owe it all to Superman." "Up in the sky, look!" " It's a bird." " It's a plane."

"Hostilely handicapped by the hazardous sub-zero elements the scientists and their band of tireless workers succeed in removing the mammoth creature from the frozen pit." "The ice-encased monster is loaded into the hold of a huge trader equipped with a special refrigeration plant, and brought to this country." "Here, in a specially constructed wing of the Museum of Natural Science this awe-inspiring creature is displayed to the public for the first time." "Then you mean to say that if the ice were permitted to thaw there's a possibility the monster might still be alive?" " Thank you, professor." " Yes, chief." "Lois, there's a new angle on that frozen-monster story." "Get over to the museum and see what's doing." " They've got him in a special refrigerator." " Okay, chief." "Oh, Lois."

"Now, here are your steamship tickets and here are your press passes." "You'll need these down there." "Goodbye, good luck, and for Pete's sake see if you two can work together for a change." " Right, chief." " So long." "That's funny." " Say, Lois, do you have my press pass?" " What makes you think I've got it?" "Sorry, sir, but you'll have to get one down at headquarters." "Thanks."

"This tablet may well be Miss Hogan's passport to freedom." "Come with me, please." "Over 3000 years ago, the valley of the Upper Nile was ruled by an old and powerful king." "He had been warring with the Lower Nile for many years and just before the old king died, he called his son to him a young boy of 12." "He commanded his giant guards to swear an oath of eternal allegiance to the boy prince, to guard him constantly in this world and the next." "Shortly after, the old king died." "The youth of 12 now ruled a kingdom of 10 million people." "But the boy was not fashioned for such responsibility." "And being of a sickly nature, soon became ill himself." "Never was a person attended more faithfully than this youth." "Yet he withered away and soon died." "True to their oath of allegiance, each of the royal guards drank poison so that they might continue to protect the spirit of the young king in the Valley of the Dead." "Here in these catacombs, Dr. Jordan has reconstructed the burial vault exactly as he first discovered it in one of the pyramids." "Working for years in absolute and frenzied secrecy he finally duplicated an ancient, mystic formula which he called the Fluid of Life." "Just before he was found dead Dr. Jordan had inoculated each of the mummies of the giant guards." "They were supposed to return to life, but somehow the test failed." "Dr. Jordan was found here at the feet of King Tush." "The rest you know." "But what you don't know, Mr. Kent and what I'm equally certain of is that Dr. Jordan violated the ancient warning by attempting to open the coffin of King Tush." "A poisonous needle." "That's how Dr. Jordan was killed." "Yes, and Miss Hogan is a free woman." "Lois!" ""Jane Hogan set free."" "This is one time I've scooped you, Lois." "Yes, lucky for you I was hurt." "Incidentally, who told you I was at the museum?" "My "mummy" done told me." "Up in the sky, look!" " It's a bird." " It's a plane." "It's Superman!" "Faster than a streak of lightning."

"I suppose Miss Lane's plane has reached the convoy by this time, hasn't it?" "We'll know soon, Mr. Kent." "We're scheduled to meet the convoy ourselves in a few hours." " That's fine." " How's that, sir?" "I said that's-!" "That's fine." "I warn you, fräulein, unless you talk I will make no effort to interfere with these natives." "Oh, cut the comic opera stuff." "Very well."
