Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Got it, huh? It's a fire! It's Superman! And now, Superman, strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who has come to work with physical powers undreamed of by mortal men. Superman, who can leap tall buildings at a single bound, raises speeding bullets to a target, and who fights a never-ending battle against crime and oppression,
disguised as Clark Kent, newspaper reporter. As you remember, young Jimmy Olsen and Carl Edwards, sole survivor of a shipwreck, escaped from a dungeon-like room in the tower of a huge stone house on Dead Man's Island, aided by Ilana, sister of the madman, Boris.
Leaving the subdynamo, feeding current to the powerful electromagnets hidden in a reef near the island has been turned off. Ilana told Jimmy and Edwards to take a motorboat more than a cove and leave the island.
But Boris has turned the dynamo on again. And the moment the boat leaves shore, it will be drawn to the rocks and wrecks. In the meantime, unaware of the danger Jimmy and Edward are in, can't as Superman is searching a dark winding tunnel under the house trying to find them.
And our story continues today. Jimmy and Edward are hurrying up the beach, looking for the motorboat. Listen. You want to sit the motorboat was in the pool, getting out of the mover, hanging free. Yes, that looks like a cold overhead.
You're under rocks. I can't understand what happened to Mr. Kent. I don't want him to wander off without saying anything. Don't worry Jimmy. Everything's happened to him. Atlanta said she'd find him and bring him to the beach.
No. Nothing is running in the sand. It's busy. I wonder. Yeah. I was almost there. That's the cold she meant. As I'm sure is. She knows overhanging trees. And look. I think I see the barber boat.
