Look! It's a plane! It's a Superman! Superman is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics magazine. Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! It's a plane! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman, strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to Earth with physical powers far beyond those of mortal men, and who fights a never-ending battle against crime and injustice,

disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan daily. When we last saw Kent, he and editor Perry White were in the Chinatown apartment of Dr. Chi Wan, Oriental scholar and art expert, where they learned of the existence of ten pieces of clear jade, known as the Dragon's Teeth.

According to legend, each of the Dragon's Teeth was engraved with a different symbol which translated, revealed the secret of everlasting life. Dr. Wan had nine of the Jade pieces, but the tent from last was owned by Walter Hoffman, a dealer in jewels who knew its value and was endeavoring to lay his hands on the rest.

Fearful lest Hoffman's hired Esperados kill him and steal the precious Jade, Dr. Wan asked Perry White to take them for safekeeping. As our story continues today, Dr. Wan has left the room to get the velvet box containing the nine dragon's teeth.

Perry White is drinking a cup of Chinese tea, which has just been served. Listen. Try some of this tea again. It's delicious. No, thanks. I never drink tea. Oh, you don't know what you're missing.
