So ask Mom to get you some P-E-P-Pep, the sunshine cereal made by Kellogg's of Battle Creek. And now, the adventures of Superman. In an effort to learn who is responsible for what seems to be an organized attempt to create ill-feeling among people of different races and religions in the city of Metropolis, Clark Kent, who as we know is Superman, devised a plan of action. Although both Kent and Police Inspector Henderson are aware that the two acts of violence already committed, the fire in Hoffman's drugstore, and the brutal, almost murderous attack on young Danny O'Neill, feared by a juvenile gang leader known as Muggs, they are certain that Muggs is only a tool, a cat's paw, taking orders from someone higher up. The plan, then, is to get to the higher ups through Muggs. And Jimmy Olsen has been given that dangerous assignment. In yesterday's episode, as you remember, Jimmy, dressed in old clothes and wearing a soiled cap, looking and sounding like a tough young hoodlum, started for the pool room hangout of Muggs and his gang. As we join him now, he has just stepped inside. A long, narrow room on the second floor of a frame building over a restaurant is heavy with the odor of stale tobacco smoke and unclean bodies. Closing the door behind him, Jimmy saunters over to one of the pool tables where a thin, hollow-cheeked boy is about to make a shot. Number six in a side pocket. Two bits you don't make it. I got a bet, sucker. Hey, huh? Clean as a whistle. Okay, lefty, two bits. Get it up. Go on, I was kidding. Get it up. Okay, here. Oh, that was a nice shot, bud. Huh? Nice shot. Yeah, not bad. Now watch me sink that ten ball. Any dough on this, lefty? Go on, shoot. Okay. Ten in the end pocket. Ah, you missed it. Ah, this cue's got a cockeyed tip. Yeah, sure. All right, so I missed one. Let's see how many you drop. Wise guy. Yeah, you didn't do so bad. Watch him, takes a year to make a shot. Yeah. Uh, you seen Muggs around? Who? Muggs. I seen him come in about half an hour ago. Hey, Charlie! You seen Muggs? Hey, what's down at Greggs behind by there? He's down at Greggs. Where's the Greggs? Yeah, new around here, ain't you? Oh, yeah. I just blew in from Philadelphia. Guy told me to look Muggs up. There he is now, just coming in. What do you say, lefty? Five in the corner pocket. Okay, shoot, will you? What's holding you up? Keep you short, and I'm taking my time. Okay. Hey, Muggs, here's a guy looking for you. Hop on it, lefty. All right, all right. You looking for me? Yeah, I guess so. My name's Olsen, Jim Olsen. I just blew in from Philly. Chuck Connors said to look you up. Who? Chuck Connors. He said maybe you could tip me off to a couple of things. Oh, yeah? Who's Chuck Connors? You mean you don't know him? No. How do you like that? I told him I was heading for Metropolis, so he says, look up my pal Muggs. He'll set you straight, and he'll give me this address. Yeah? Boy, will I take a poke out of him next time I see him. You don't know him at all, huh? I don't know. I meet a lot of guys. Where'd you say you come from? Philadelphia. Why'd you come to Metropolis? I had a little trouble. Cops? Yeah. You got any dough? Yeah, a little. How much? Look, I don't like the idea of standing here and talking. Too many guys around. You don't have to worry about these guys. How much dough you got? About 30 bucks. Oh, you want to join my gang? What'll they get me? Protection. And maybe some easy moolah. Easy what? Moolah. Dough. Ah, sounds okay. It'll cost you 25 bucks. What for? Initiation fee. But that'll leave me busted. I gotta eat. You want to join up? That's what it'll cost you. How about making it 15? Nothing doing. I'll pay you the rest later. No soap. How about 20? That'll leave me 10. I got an uncle living here. Maybe I can bunk with him for a while. How about it, mugs? Okay. But I'm letting you off easy. Let's have it. Yeah? I, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

So long. What you soaking, Muggs? 20. How's about a fin? I'm flat. Here. Thanks. Now drop that cue and tail him. What? You hide me, tail him. I want to know where he goes. Why? Because I want to make sure, that's why. Go ahead. Jim? Yeah. Where are you? In a drugstore. In a phone booth. Anything wrong? No. Everything's okay. I, I met him. Muggs? Yeah. And I'm in the gang. Good boy. He said they were laying low on account of Danny getting beat up. He actually told you that? Well, he didn't mention Danny's name. He said he took a couple of socks at a kid and busted his head. When he said it, I wanted to take a sock at him. Yeah, I know, Jim. I know exactly how you feel, but we've got to play this game their way, in the dark. What else did you learn? Oh, that's all. Except he introduced me to another kid, a kid by the name of Dutch. He said when he wasn't around, Dutch would... Huh? How old are these boys, Jim? How old? Oh, I guess maybe 16 or 17. They look older, but that's because they're all pale and sick looking from hanging around our pool room. Why, what a place. So full of smoke you can't breathe, and it smells to high heaven. What's your next move, Jim? I don't know. That's why I called you. Muggs said to come back tomorrow night. He said something might break. All right. Grab a cab and come over here. Oh, incidentally, did Muggs ask you where you lived? Yeah. I told him I had an uncle on 12th Street. That's you. Good. He swallowed it, all right, and... Gleeps, he followed me. Who followed? He followed me from the pool room. What? He was in the next phone booth all the time. He must have heard everything I told you. Where is he now? Just leaving the drugstore. He's going back to tell Muggs I'm a phony. Mr. Kent, what'll I do? What will Jim do? What can he do? We'll return in a moment for the exciting climax of today's episode.

The End Trailed from the pool room by one of Mugg's young lieutenants, Jimmy Olsen found himself trapped when he noticed the boy, known to him as Dutch, step out of the adjoining phone booth and leave the drugstore. There was no question in Jimmy's mind that Dutch had overheard his conversation with Clark Kent and was hurrying back to the pool room to report that he was a spy. As we continue now, Jimmy is still on the wire with Clark Kent. Mr. Kent, we gotta do something. He's going back to tell Muggs I'm a phony. Jim, listen to me. Yeah? Where are you calling from? Where's the drugstore? On the corner of Third and Market. All right. Hang up and stay in the phone booth. Don't move. Do as I say now. If that boy gets back to the pool room, we're licked. I know. But how are we going to stop him? Don't you worry. I'll stop him. You just sit tight. How is Clark Kent going to stop Dutch from reaching the pool room without arousing suspicion? The situation is desperate. Right now, the carefully laid plans to trap whoever is behind Muggs and his gang seems to be collapsing like a house of cards.
