Transcript
Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Look! It's a bird! Superman! When we saw him last, Clark Kent was out on the wing of an airplane, trying to free it of a deadly coating of ice, which was sending the ship to certain destruction on the rocky peaks below.
The plane was heading westward, carrying Kent and the Anderson's toward the North Star Mine, where they hoped to make final contact with the two gold-binds, windblers, Pemberton and Deneen. Fearfully, the group in the cabin watched Kent crawl out through the dark in the snow, Then a scream from June Anderson.
The plane took a sudden sickening plunge and... Clark Kent vanished. Listen. Oh, June, stop that. I can't even float! Pilot, do something quick. Hang on! We're going into a tailspin! We're going to a jig-dog!
Goodbye, Clark Kent. For the next few minutes, it's up to Superman. That plane is out of control, falling past. I've got to get under it. What's below us? It's like the worst part of the Rocky Mountains.
Not much time. Here it goes. Pilot, shut off that motor. It's just pulling us down fast. Oh no, it's our only chance. Oh, hi up. I'll eat a thousand feet to go Lesson that 500. Oh We're slowing We're leveling off What's happened? I don't know we're stopping right midair. Oh, what is it? I think I'm going mad
It's not possible I can't believe it Say was anybody hurt? I can't. We thought you were gone. Me? Gosh, no Captain Anderson. I just hung on by an eyelash until, oh, say, pilot, that was the neatest landing I ever saw.
Congratulations. Well, Ken, I didn't... What do you mean? Why, you set her down like a feather in the only level spot for miles. Well, so long folks, make yourselves comfortable. I bet I can't. Where are you going?
