Send to Superman, Department 1R, Battle Creek, Michigan. Now, the adventures of Superman. Aware that Big George Latimer, a dishonest politician, has secured possession of a piece of kryptonite, a strange metallic substance which robs Superman of all his strength when he comes within ten feet of it, Batman and Robin suspected that Superman, who has disappeared, had been exposed to the weakening power of the kryptonite by Latimer, and then spirited away. As we learned Friday, this is exactly what happened. And as Batman and Robin raced towards Latimer's house, hoping to trail him to wherever Superman was being held prisoner, Latimer said to Blake, his secretary, There must be a way to put an end to Superman. And I'm going to find that way tonight. As we continue now, Batman, with Robin beside him in their powerful bat-shaped car, is speeding up a dark tree-lined street in Metropolis Heights. At the end of which, just ahead, is Big George Latimer's palatial high-walled estate. Suddenly, Batman calls out, Hang on, Robin! Oh! Talk about stopping on a dime! Snap out the lights quick! I'll kill the motor! Okay, what gives? Look, coming out of Latimer's driveway. Uh-oh, a station wagon. Duck down low. We don't want to be seen. Check. Oh, never mind. It's turning up the side road. Can you see who's in it? I could see two men. One of them was Latimer. Looks like we got here just in time. On the nose. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get after them. Better give them a head start. I don't want them to know we're trailing them. But we'll lose them. Don't you worry. Okay, now we can go. It's about time. I know. They are up ahead. They're turning left. Uh-huh. That's the highway. Come on, step on it. Relax, sonny boy. Relax. It's 2.30 in the morning. Latimer isn't going out to buy his sandwich. I know. He might be heading for wherever they've got Superman. That's what I'm hoping. Oh, now what? The highway. Stop at highways and stay alive. Oh. All clear. There they go. I see them. Say, what's the matter with you, Robin? You're hopping around like a flea on a hot griddle. I guess I got the jitters. I keep remembering what you said. About what? About Superman. He said he told you there was one way he could be killed. That's right, but I told you... And you figured Latimer would try to finish him off now. Because while Superman's alive, Latimer and his dirty schemes are in danger. I also told you it takes brains to discover the one way in which Superman can be finished. Which is where Latimer comes in and why we're trailing him. I'm counting on him to lead us to Superman. Then we take over, savvy. Yeah, I just hope Latimer is leading us to Superman. My hunch says he is. Uh-oh. Oh, they're turning off into Mill Road. That's not so good. What do you mean? Mill Road whines like a snake. The moon won't help us either. Too many trees. Well, we'll have to use our lights. Oh, won't they spot us? We'll have to take that chance. Look, Robin. You handle the lights. Switch them on only for the turns, then off again. And just use the dimmers. Okay, give me the word when you want them. Right. Hang on, they're speeding up. And we're going with them. Latimer, wake up. I'm awake. I'm just thinking. What is it, Blake? Well, I'm not sure, but I think a car's following us. What? I don't see any car. I think it's running without lights. Without lights? And this corkscrew road? Well, every few minutes, I seem to see a pair of dim lights in the rear-vision mirror. They stay on a couple seconds, then go out again. Could be fireflies. Yes, I suppose so. But look, there they go again. There. Oh, yes, I see them. Pretty far back and very dim. Can't be sure if they're car lights or not. They're gone now. That's the way they've been acting, on and off every little while. Do you suppose the police could be trailing us? Police? No. In fact, the Henderson almost bit Batman's head off tonight when Batman made him search my house for Superman and the kryptonite. I rubbed it into Henderson, made him feel like a fool. It won't bother me again. What about Batman and Robin? They know Superman was in your house earlier this evening and that you've got the kryptonite. They left with Henderson. They weren't around when we pulled out. Ah, they're clever, though. No, watch that. Turn the road. There are those lights behind us again. Gone now. I think it's a car and it's following us. Just using lights when they have to, so we won't notice. We've got to find out. Do you want me to stop? No, keep going. Slow down a little. Okay. Now what? Keep going. I'll tell you what to do. Now, the ditch is pretty shallow here. Pull off the road and park behind those high bushes. Yes, sir. A little further in, Blake, so we won't be seen from the road. That does it. Stop and cut your engine. Now, turn off the lights. Yes, sir. Sit tight now. That's a car behind us. It'll be long in a moment. I hear a car, Mr. Latimer. So do I. We should have cut our lights before we went off the road. They might have seen us. They couldn't. They're back behind that turn. They go their lights for the turn on the road. Yeah. That's why they winked on and off. We're just using them on the curbs. That's what I figured. Coming around the curb now. Keep low now. Let them pass. Did you notice the strange shape of that car, Blake? No, sir. I couldn't see much in the dark. Looked like the Batmobile. What's that? Batman and Robin, special car. Shaped like a bat. Start the motor and get back on the road. But, Mr. Latimer... Do as I say. Yes, sir. Turn around. Head back to the highway. Pick up the river road to the old mill that way. It's longer, but we'll lose Batman and Robin. By the time they realize we're not ahead of them and turn back. We'll be at the highway. Stepping it, Blake. Give it all she's got. Yes, sir. Lights, Robin. Coming up. Is the station wagon still in front of us? I haven't seen it for a couple of minutes. Road curves too much. Okay, douse the glimpse. Check. Our trees are thinning out. You see the moon? We won't need the lights now, I don't think. That's a break. We're getting a straight stretch of road for a change, too. We can be able... Hey, what the... What's up? I can't see Latimer's station wagon. What? Hey, neither can I. Step on it. They must have gained on us. No, no. What are you stopping for? The road's straight for at least two miles. Then it angles up that tall hill in full view, see? The moon's shining on it, but no station wagon. Oh, jeepers. They couldn't have topped that long hill in the couple of minutes they were out of sight. Well, they must have spotted our lights. Pulled off the road until we went by, then doubled back to the highway. Oh, and we fell for it. Are we dumb? Take it easy. We're not licked yet. We like to turn around. We don't know where they went. No, they were headed north on this road. My hunch is they went back to the highway, figuring to pick up the next road north. That would be River Road. Now I'm going to open this wagon up. Hang on and keep your fingers crossed. We accelerated down to the floor. Batman sends his powerful car hurtling back over the twisting road in pursuit of big George Latimer. Will he overtake him, or has the wily politician eluded him? We'll be back in a moment to find out. So keep listening. Hold everything.

It's Superman, Department 1R, Battle Creek, Michigan. And now, back to the adventures of Superman. Having doubled back to the highway in their station wagon, Blake, at the command of Big George Latimer, followed the highway for two miles, and is now headed north once more on River Road, a dark, narrow thoroughfare which follows a tall bluff high above the river. I guess we gave them the slip all right, Blake. Yes, sir. And I don't mind saying I'm relieved, Mr. Latimer. Brains can always win over brawn. I proved it with Superman. We'll be at the old mill in an hour. Good heavens! What's the matter? They're following us again. What? You mean... Batman and Robin. They're just hopping that hill behind us. They're running without lights again, but you can make out their bat-shaped car in the moonlight. Bastard, you're right. Well, what do we do now, sir? Have you think. I don't like this. Quiet. Look, Blake. Isn't Bill Anderson's farm near here? Yes, sir. About a mile or so back from the road. Why? I've got an idea. Listen now. As soon as you round that next turn by the trees, stop. I'm going to get Batman and Robin off my trail. Dominously big, George Latimer directs Blake to stop the station wagon beyond a tree hidden curve in the road and leave the car, preparing a trap which he says will remove Batman and Robin from his trail for good. What is the trap Latimer is setting? And will Batman and Robin step into it? Superman's life may depend on the result of the next few minutes. So don't miss hearing tomorrow's exciting episode. Tune in. Same time, same station. And remember, for breakfast, it's Kellogg's Pep. For excitement, the adventures of Superman.
