Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Superman! Look at the plane! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings into the single bound, race the speeding bullet to its target, and who disguise as Clark Kent, Mark Kent, Miles Manadry Porter for a great metropolitan newspaper, wages a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

Some of these to follow the old treasure map that Kent, Jimmy Olsen, and young Pud Flanagan found on the ill-fated tripporship at Clara N. First it was Teak Barnaby, a peg-legged sailor who wanted the map.

Then it was Carlos, a murderous hash-free. Now another strange and the serious thing happens. Just as the boat on which they were taking passage from Panama to the United States was about to sail, can't receive the message. A message that read, wait Jimmy, Togg and Kent are about to have breakfast in the ships dining room.

Let's join us. Well, what would it be? They can make? Yeah, that's what it means. And how about you Jimmy? Oh, I'm not very hungry Mr. King. Oh, Jim, you mustn't worry about that note I received.

A lot of silly nonsense. What did it say again? Oh, just something about not failing on this ship. It said don't sail on a ship if you found your life. That sounds pretty serious, sure.

And now it's just as I told you. Carlos probably sent it in order to lure us back on land, so that he could get the map. But whatever it is, we've sailed so too late.
