Up in the sky. Look.
- It's a bird. - It's a plane.
It's Superman!
In the endless reaches of the universe...
...there once existed a planet known as Krypton.
A planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens.
Their civilization was far advanced, and it brought forth a race of superman...
...whose mental and physical powers were developed...
...to the absolute peak of human perfection.
But there came day when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever.
One of the planet's leading scientists, sensing the approach of doom...
...placed his infant son in a small rocket ship...
...and sent it hurtling in the direction of the Earth just as Krypton exploded.
The rocket ship sped through star-studded space...
...landing safely on Earth with its precious burden...
...Krypton's sole survivor.
A passing motorist found the uninjured child and took it to an orphanage.
As the years went by, and the child grew to maturity...
...he found himself possessed of amazing physical powers.
Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.
The infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel...
...Superman.
To best be in a position to use his amazing powers...
...in a never-ending battle for truth and justice...
...Superman has assumed disguise of Clark Kent...
...mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.
I'm sick of this fool masquerade.
I shall be glad when I'm finished with my work here.
Kapitän, the submarine fleet commander is impatient for news...
...of the American convoy.
He will be advised of it's location shortly.
To your post!
Lieutenant. Lieutenant Fleming.
- Miss Lane. - Yes?
Here. Take these.
Important papers. Destroy them.
American stubbornness.
I give you just 10 minutes to remember...
...what you did with those papers...
...or I will be forced to brighten your memory with fire! So!
So what?
I suppose Miss Lane's plane...
...has reached the convoy by this time, hasn't it?
We'll know soon, Mr. Kent.
We're scheduled to meet the convoy ourselves in a few hours.
- That's fine. - How's that, sir?
I said that's-!
That's fine.
I warn you, fräulein, unless you talk...
...I will make no effort to interfere with these natives.
Oh, cut the comic opera stuff.
Very well.
Even now, if you tell me the location of the papers, I can...
I have them. Look! Your Yankee bravery was in vain.
Hurry! Contact submarine fleet commander at once!
Looks like they're having a party down there.
And us not invited. How do you like that?
What's that? It's Fleming's ship. Empty.
I wonder...
Lois.
Stay down, Lois.
Come in, Base 3-X. Come in, Ba...
Why, you...
Come in, Base 3-X. Come in, Base 3-X.
Torpedoes one and two ready, herr commandant.
The War Department goes on to say...
...that during this action, an entire fleet of Axis submarines...
...was destroyed by American dive-bombers...
...affording the troopships a safe crossing.
