Faster than a speeding bullet! More coalholes than a locomotive! They will delete coal buildings in a single bound! Up in the sky! Superman! Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another world, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of bottle men.
Superman, who can change the cause of mighty rivers, send the steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.
