Transcript

Kellogg's PEP! The super delicious cereal presents the adventures of Superman! Bastard on a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leak tall buildings at a single bound! Look, up in the sky, it's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!

As you remember, a brilliant half-mad Nazi scientist named the Tifle injected a solution of highly radioactive kryptonite into the veins of a young German, thus making him an atomic monster able to destroy anything in his path.

Appearing as an ordinary young man named Henry Miller, the adamant security position as a reporter on the Metropolis Daily Planet with orders to find and destroy Superman. As we continue now, in a shabby basement room of a Metropolis tenement, Henry Miller is telling Toyfall of an important discovery he made at the Daily Planet that evening.

This guy is in a black wig and drooping mustache. His skin died olive, the toyfuls frog-like eyes blaze behind thick-lens spectacles, as he interrupts angrily. What? You say Superman appeared at the daily planet this evening?

Yes, I was going through Miss Lane's desk as you told me to, trying to find some clue as to how the paper contacted Superman. And suddenly he was there. And you let him get away?

I had to, Toy, but you see, what do you mean you had to? Did you not have your metal gloves in the throat converted with you? Yes, but nothing you had only to slip them on.

Touch the switch on the converter and such atomic power would have poured from your fingers. That Superman would have fallen helpless at your feet. Full of block hit. Conquering Superman means everything to us, everything.
