Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leave tall buildings in a single round.

Look! Look for the sky!

It's the bird! It's a bird! It's a pig! It's Superman!

Yes, it's Superman, strange visitors from another world who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, then steel in his bare hands,

and who disguised as Bart Kent, wild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,

strikes a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.

The American Way. Well, welcome back to Superman Saturdays here on the old-time radio, mystery, suspense, and horror podcast.

So glad that you are tuning in. Today we kick off a brand new storyline

here on the Superman radio program, a storyline that is titled The Yellow Mask. This will be a two-part

storyline. After this storyline, most of the storylines to come will be about six parts average, for the most part.

Real quick, just want to explain sort of the format of how we're going to be doing these.

So I'm going to air the first play, do my commentary on that play. We'll take a

break and then we'll start airing the next play. So don't leave after the first play. There's

another play yet to come. This storyline just happens to be two episodes, but from here on out, I'm going to do two

episodes back to back every Saturday. All right, so let's go ahead and get into the first part of

the Yellow Mask storyline. The title of this particular play is The Atomic Beam Machine.

And this one aired February 26th of 1940.

Enjoy.

Presenting Superman!
