Ask mom to get you a supply of Kellogg's Pep tomorrow. And now, the adventures of Superman. Returning to the Daily Planet after rescuing Sam Robbins, a young war veteran from a gang of intolerant hate mongers, Clark Kent told Editor Perry White, I'm going to prove that Governor Wheeler or Big George Latimer, the state political boss, was responsible for the shooting of Joe Martin. And that Sam Robbins was framed for the crime. I'm also going to prove that Sam was sent upstate deliberately to be lynched. And Kent received a phone call from the Governor's secretary, who said that the Governor wished to see him at once on a matter of great importance. In the library of his mansion on the Capitol ground, Governor Wheeler bolted the door of his library, then startled Kent by saying, Kent, I'm about to commit suicide. He was, for a moment, unable to move. But as we continue now, he leaps forward and grasps the Governor by the arms. Governor, taking your own life isn't the way out. It's never the way out. Taking my life. Oh, no, I didn't mean that. What? I meant I intend to commit political... Oh, you had me scared there for a moment. I'll admit I thought of the other, but as you say, that isn't the way out. No. And now I want to make a clean breast of things, even though it'll ruin my career. And I want you to make it public through you and the Daily Planet. Well, I respect you for that, Governor. The war veterans were right when they accused me of practicing racial and religious discrimination in awarding state jobs. I thought so. I didn't want to do it, Kent. Believe me. I've always held that there's nothing more foul or more unfair than discriminating against a man because of his race or his church. You're right. There isn't. Why did you do it? George Latimer forced me to. Big George? Well, how could he? You're the chief of... I know what you're going to say. I could have defied him. Oh, yes. Well, perhaps I could have. I was weak and ambitious. I knew that if I defied Big George, he would break me politically. So you sold out your conscience and the Bill of Rights. You swore to the friend... Don't rub it in, Kent. I've suffered enough already for what I've done. Particularly tonight when I learned what almost happened to Sam Robbins. If he'd been lynched, I would have been one of his murderers. Just as surely as if I had personally struck him down. And why did you send him to Grant City when you knew that that area is a hotbed of intolerant fanatics? Ex-German Bundes and all-around bigoted cracks worth a nickel in that lunatic's paradise? Well, I should have been aware of that, but I honestly didn't think of it that way until you called it to my attention. You see, I'm so accustomed to accepting George Latimer's suggestion. You mean Latimer told you to send Sam upstate? Yes, he did. Ah, now we're getting down to cases. Tell me this, Governor. Did you also, at Latimer's suggestion, shoot Joe Martin and then frame Sam Robbins for it? I shoot Joe Martin? Latimer did it himself? What? Why, wherever did you get such a preposterous notion? There's nothing preposterous about it. One of you, or someone with you on the Capitol steps, shot Joe Martin, making it easy to frame Sam Robbins for the shooting. No, I... Latimer said he saw Sam pull a gun during the veterans' demonstration. He was lying, wasn't he? Yes, George practically admitted to me that he didn't see Robbins pull a gun. All right. Did he admit that he had Lippy Williams, the late clarion reporter, plant the gun in Sam's house? No, but... Good heavens, Mr. Kent, that must have been what they were keeping for me. Williams started to say something that fitted in just with what you've said, and George stopped him. That was just the other day when George was telling him what to write in the clarion. I see. You must be right then. George must have... No, no, no. That's impossible. He wouldn't. He couldn't go that far. Oh, no. He went so far as to send Sam to Grant City knowing he'd be lynched, didn't he? Well, yes. And I think he shot Joe Martin. Or had him shot. Wait a minute. Was there anyone else on the Capitol steps with you and Latimer during the GI demonstration? Besides the state troopers, I mean. Let me think. No, I believe not. Wait. Briggs was there. Briggs? Yes, my secretary. But I'm sure he didn't do it. George treats him like a servant, and Briggs loathes him. Besides, he's a very nice, quiet little fellow. All right. Then it must have been Latimer himself. But how are we going to prove it? If he hadn't killed Lippy Williams, we might get the truth there, but I... You think George murdered Williams? Yes. Sure. Williams was a smart aleck, and I don't think Latimer would let him live knowing how much he knew. Oh, there must be some way... Wait a minute. Governor Wheeler, you said you wanted to make restitution for what you've done. Yes, of course. All right. Will you help me get the goods on big George Latimer? Well, how can I do that? I've got an idea. Now, you said he admitted to you that he didn't see Sam Robbins pull a gun. Well, he practically admitted it, but... Hey, get him to admit it again. Try to make him admit other things. Tell him... Oh, tell him you're worried. You've got to know where you stand. Threaten to go to the police unless he tells you everything. But that's ridiculous, Kent. Even if he admitted anything to me, it would only be my word against his. You certainly don't think I could get him to confess such things in public, do you? No. No, but if your private conversation were recorded, that would be all the proof we'd need. Recorded? Mm-hmm. What do you mean? I'll install a listening device right here in your library. Say, well, right behind that American flag on the wall. Now, you tell Latimer you've got to see him and bring him here. Get him to talk. Look, Governor, George Latimer showed us that he won't stop at murder in order to spread racial and religious intolerance. This is the only way we can possibly prove what he is and stop him before, well, before much worse things happen in this state. Don't you see, Governor? When can you get Latimer here? Well, it's pretty late. Yes, who is it? What is it, Briggs? He's leaving town for a week or two and wishes to see you before he goes. He's downstairs at the moment. Uh-oh. Does he know I'm here? No, Mr. Kent. The governor explained to me that your visit is highly confidential. Good. Well, what will we do, Kent, if he's leaving town? Well, we've got to get this job done before he leaves town. What? I know how. Briggs, will you please tell Mr. Latimer that the governor will be down at once? Shall I, sir? Why, why, yes, I suppose so, but I don't see... Trust me, Governor, please. Oh, very well. Go on, Briggs. Yes, sir. You go downstairs and meet Latimer. Stall him along for, well, for five minutes. Then bring him up here and get him to talk. But, understand, we planned... Give me five minutes. When you come back here with Latimer, the listening device will be installed. Well, all right, but still, I don't see... Please, Governor, go ahead. Oh, very well, Kent. Candy Myers is home, and if only he still had that listening device. This is the only way I know to trap Latimer. A quick trip as Superman, up at this window. Guys, Superman streaks away with but five minutes to arrange his trap for big George Latimer. We'll return in a moment for the tense climax of today's episode. So, stand by. You know, gang, it sure steps up the fun of collecting prizes when you know that you can get not just one prize, but 49 different top-notch prizes right in packages of Kellogg's Pep. Yes, sir. You'll find a prize in every package. And there are three different kinds of prizes you may find there. For instance, you may find one of 18 different comic buttons, each picturing a favorite comic strip character. Or, you may find a colored cardboard model of a fighting plane, one of seven exciting plane models in the series. Or, you may get a gay-colored bird picture from a series of 24, each with a full description on the reverse side so that you can make like you're a regular bird expert. Now, that makes 49 different prizes you can collect, all of them strictly super. And that goes double for Pep itself. Why, the way Pep lets loose with the sunshine flavor is something terrific. Every single one of those crisp flakes of whole wheat gives you the business. Every spoonful stacks up the flavor. Every bowlful tickles you plenty in the taste department. No fooling. Pep's a solid sender. So, well, what's keeping you, gang? Ask Mom for Kellogg's Pep, the sunshine cereal, and look for your prize inside the package. Traveling with the speed of light, Superman has rocketed to the home of Clark Kent's friend, Candy Myers, the private detective, secured the listening device, and streaked back to Governor Wheeler's mansion on the Capitol grounds. Now, working swiftly, he is just completing the installation of the device beneath the American flag on the wall of the governor's library when he hears the doorknob turn. Uh-oh. Here come the governor and Latimer. Didn't you hear it? Terrific wind. Come up suddenly. Hey, Frank, make sure you get the votes in and you get them in the right way. Oh, about Sam Robbins and other things. What about Robbins? Well, I want to ask you some questions about him, George, and I want you to answer truthfully. Why, certainly, Frank. Of course you did. Oh, come now, George. He didn't, and you know. There's a mighty nice flag in the wall, Frank. Never mind the flag. Answer my question. Who shot Joe, George? Now listen. You want to know who shot Joe? Oh, I'll tell you. Yes. Now, Frank, I'm going to... No, no. I'll put it down. When I'm finished with it, first I'm going to use it on you. Political boss and man of hate advances upon him. A revolver gripped in his big hand, cold fury in his eyes. How does Latimer know about the listening device hidden by Superman behind the flag? What will happen to Governor Wheeler now? And if you Clark Kent's plan to trap the murderous bigot? Tomorrow's episode is a thriller, so don't miss it. Tune in, same time, same station. And remember, for breakfast, it's Kellogg's Pep.
