Kellogg's Pep, the super delicious cereal, present the adventures of Superman. Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look, up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman. Yes, it's Superman. And today his young friends, Jimmy Olsen and Dick Grayson, whom we know is really the famous Robin, are alarmed over the sudden disappearance of their companion, Lois Lane. Hunted by the police for shooting a federal agent, Dixie Lamar, member of a criminal gang, was hiding out in Playland, a metropolis amusement park, with Dr. Bly, the leader of the gang. Seeing a photograph of Lois Lane in the Daily Planet, and discovering that Lois was an almost perfect double for Dixie, Dr. Bly conceived the scheme of pinning the murder on Lois. Posing as a press agent, he invited the girl reporter to be guest of honor at the amusement park that night. And when Lois arrived with Jimmy Olsen and Dick Grayson, who was really Robin, Batman's young companion, the three were given a ride on the River of Horrors. But as their book glided through a dark tunnel, a luminous skeleton rose from the darkness and seized Lois. As we join them now, Jimmy and Dick are unable to stop the boat, which is without oars and is being carried along by a slow current. Listen. Oh, my gosh, Dick. What do we do? We've got to get help, Jimmy. Come back and find her. Get help where? How? We're in a dark tunnel. I can't see a thing. We're coming to the end of the tunnel. See, just ahead. Huh? Where? Oh, yeah. I think the lizards do something. Make this boat go faster. We can't. There are no oars or anything. Don't lose your head, Jim. We'll be out in a minute. Don't lose my head. This lane is gone. That skeleton got him. I don't understand it. Here. We're coming to the end of the tunnel. Sit there. You'll tip us over. No, I won't. See, there are rocks riding the river outside the tunnel. If we can grab hold of them and pull a boat over, we can climb out and not have to drift all the way back to the end. Oh, that's a good idea. Now, try to grab the rock. All right. Careful, Oak. Put out, Jim. Boy, it's a good thing that rock was there. Might have gone into the drink. I'll say. Okay, we can get out now. Come on. I'm with you. Poor Miss Lane. Don't worry. We'll find her. But where is she? Jeepers, that skeleton. Here. Here's the midway. Jump down, Jim. It's only a few feet. Okay. Now, which way? This way. Back to the entrance. I know at least one good thing. I didn't bust my sundial wristwatch. Oh, is that what that thing on your wrist is? Yeah, it tells time by the sun. Hey, that's swell. Where'd you get it? Batman gave it to me. Who? Uh, I... Here now, you two. Hold on. Oh, wait, Dick. It's a cop. A cop, I find it. Ah, look at here, you two, small beans. What do you mean, climbing up in them rocks? Gee, officer, you got here just in time. Oh, but I did. A young lady disappeared in the tunnel. A skeleton grabbed her. And then it disappeared, too. Come on, Oak. Yeah, you've got to find her. Wait a minute. Let go of me sleeves. Now, there's big signs saying to keep off them rocks. Can't you three? Sure, but... A skeleton got Miss Lane in the tunnel on the River of Horace. You've got to help us find her. Come on. So, a skeleton got someone in here. Now, what kind of malarkey are you trying to give me? It's true. You see, we were in a boat with Miss Lane. And when we got into the tunnel, a skeleton jumped out of the darkness and grabbed her. And then they both disappeared. Is that so now? Joe and I ought to run his boat in. First for climbing on the rocks and then for telling a whopper like that. But it's true, I tell you. A skeleton's still got her. Don't just stand there. Don't be after telling me what to do. Well, we'll do something. Come on back to the entrance of the River of Horrors with us. We'll get another boat and go after Miss Lane. Well, we'll go, yes. Come on. To Joe Hanson, who owns the River of Horace. I don't know what this nonsense is. What a skeleton, do you ask if we're getting it to Miss Lane. That fellow saw us get in the boat. Yeah, I remember him. Listen, mister. These two kids want me to pinch one of your skeletons for kidnapping, Joe. That's a good joke. It's no joke. It sure isn't. They say they was taking a ride in one of your boats with somebody. Miss Lane, Lois Lane. And when they got into the tunnel, one of those skeletons grabbed her and took her away. That's right. Just a few minutes ago. Please help us find her, mister. Please. What kind of a gag is this? It's true. The skeleton got Miss Lane. How could a wood and paper skeleton grab anybody? Are you nuts? No. Honest. You see... I don't like these kind of jokes. They're bad for business. Go on. Beat it. No. No, wait. You've got to listen. I don't have to listen to crazy stuff like that. Get them out of here, Riley. They're bad for business. You say they didn't take a ride in one of your boats, Joe. No. They didn't take a ride tonight. I would have remembered them if they did. You hear that? Now, come on. Beat it, you kid. No, wait. You must remember us. We got into the boat less than five minutes ago. You were there when we got in the boat. I see you didn't ride in one of my boats tonight. If you say you did, where's your ticket stub? Anybody rides in my boats, they keep the stubs and give them back to me when they finish the ride. Where's your stubs? Oh, we didn't have any tickets. Don't you remember? Mr. Hemingway brought us here and said to you that our ride was on the house. You said okay. Is that right, Joe? I don't give rides for nothing. And I never heard of any Mr. Hemingway either. Well, you did too. You know him. He's the press agent here. The press agent of the whole amusement park. Now, I know you kids are nuts. There's no Mr. Hemingway, the press agent of Playland. Just a minute, Joe. What did this Mr. Hemingway look like, boys? Well, he's a pretty old man. He's got a deep voice. He's in white hair and he wears dark glasses. Okay, I've heard enough. The press agent of Playland was named Harry Spencer and he's a young fella. But I tell you... And he ain't got a deep voice either. Now, I ought to run you kids in for this. But I'm going to close my eyes and count to three. Well, listen. By the time I finish counting, you'd better be where I can't see or I will run easy. Well, listen, please. You've got to believe this. I'm going to start counting. What? You don't believe us. What are we going to do, Dick? You kids better beat it. That's what. Who? I know what I'm going to do. Come on, Jim. Where? I'm going to call back somebody who will find this lane for us. Mr. Kent. I'll call him. Come on. I see some phone booths behind that. They gone, Joe? Yeah, crazy kids. Ah, boys will be boys. There's no harm done with a bit of... I think I put the fear in the law of the young devil. But I'll be back in a short while to make sure they ain't bothering you. So long, Riley. And much obliged. Joe. Dr. Bly. I told you not to mention my name. You kind of scared me sneaking up like that. Good thing you took off your white wig and dark glasses before the cops bought you. Don't mind that. What did you do with the girl, Miss Lane? No names, I said. She's in a safe place. What happened to the two boys who were with her? The boat was empty when it came back through the tunnel. I know, they climbed out over the rocks when they got out of the tunnel and they got a cop. Cop? Yeah, Riley, the one who just left here. I stalled him off, all right. He thinks the kids were joking. You fool. You shouldn't have let them get away. Well, what could I do? They came back here with Riley. Oh, you fool, you stupid fool. If they get away, they'll spoil everything. Well, what could I do, Doctor? Shut up. Which way did they go? Quick. Over to those phone booths behind the hot dog stand. They were going to call a Mr. Kent and somebody named Bat. They started over just before you showed up. Good. May not be too late then. Now remember, you never saw the girl. Those two boys didn't ride in your boat. Swiftly, Dr. Bly turns and hurries through the gay crowds to the telephone booths, where Jimmy and Dick are excitedly calling Clark Kent and Batman for aid. We'll return in a moment for the dramatic climax of today's episode. But first, here is your announcer. Hey there, Pep Gang. Are you getting your complete sets of Kellogg's Pep insignia and warplane buttons in shape? I mean the new second series of 22 buttons. Boy, they're real beauties. In four sparkling colors of red, blue, black, and yellow against a pure white background. And you know, it's a good idea to swap them and get the ones you need to fill out the series. For example, suppose you have an extra insignia of the 17th Bombardment Squadron. That's the comical-looking pilot with goggles leaning on an upended bomb. But you need the 56th Bombardment Squadron button. And suppose your pal has an extra one of those. Then the thing to do is to trade with him fast. That way you both get the buttons you're looking for. And what a thrill you'll get when you can show the rest of the gang that you have the whole second series. But remember, gang, you can't buy these buttons anywhere. No, sir, they come only in packages of that super delicious whole wheat flake cereal, Kellogg's Pep. So ask mom to see that there's plenty of Kellogg's Pep at your house. Inside, you'll find your prize. An Air Squadron insignia or warping button. There's a button in every package. It's a prize for you from P-E-P Pep. Made by Kellogg's of Battle Creek. And gang, there's just one more thing. It's very important for you to tune in Monday at this same time for some big news. I'll have about a wonderful new Kellogg's Pep prize. Something you'll all go wild about. The thing you've all been waiting for. Don't forget now, boys and girls. Get in on the big Superman news Monday. And now, back to the adventures of Superman. It is 15 minutes since Jimmy Olsen telephoned Clark Kent from Playland. At once, Kent streaked to the amusement park as Superman. And now, having secretly assumed his guise of the mild-mannered reporter, he is pacing restlessly up and down before the ticket booth of the River of Horrors. Get your tickets for the thrill of a lifetime. Jim said he'd meet me right here. I don't see him anywhere. It'll make me laugh. Not Dick Grayson either. I'm a tenth bite of a dollar. Step up, folks. Step up and get your tickets. Step up, step up before they're all gone. Oh, pardon me. If you want a ticket, mister, get it at the booth. No, it isn't that. Have you been around here long? Tonight, I mean. Sure, all night. I own this concession. Why? Well, I was supposed to meet a young fellow here. Two of them, in fact. Jim Olsen and Dick Grayson. I wonder if you might have... Never heard of him. Move along now. Can't you see I'm busy? Oh, wait a minute. This is important. This one chap, Jim, said something serious happened. He's, well, he's 16. He's thin, freckled-faced. Don't know him, I said. All right, folks. Here's an empty boat right over here. One in a seat and one at a time. I don't know. I don't understand this. They said he and Dick would wait right here. I don't like this. I don't like it at all. Don't put your tickets before they're all gone. Only one dime. The killer, diller, thriller... Minute by minute, his fear is rising. Clark can't wait mainly for Jimmy Olsen. What has happened to the boy reporter and to Dick Grayson, who is in reality Robin, Batman's young companion? And where is Lois Lane?
