Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman. Yes, it's 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 of a single bound, Brace a feeding bullet to its target, then steal in his bare hands. And who disguise this Clark Kent? Mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth and justice.

attempted to wreck the truck. As if that were not enough, Abner Cheney, the unscrupulous local banker who owns the only pipeline to the refinery, suddenly paid a visit to the ranch. In an effort to force Tumbleweed to use his pipeline at exorbitant rates, Cheney played his ace card.

He accused Tumbleweed of fraud and possibly murder. As we join them now, the suave banker explains the situation to Tumbleweed and Clark Kent while young Jimmy Olsen stands by frowning angrily. Listen, I'm just stating facts.
