Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! Yes, it's Superman. Train visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman who can leap all buildings at a single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target, tend, steal in his bare hands, and who decides to start Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

And now to our story. When Duke Renard, worn by a mysterious woman at the police and district attorney were closing in on his hideout, bound Clark Kent and editor Perry White to their chairs and set the frame building on fire, he was certain it was the end of them.

But Kent, as Superman, rescued editor White from the blazing inferno a moment before the police arrived, although he was forced to knock him out in order to assume his real identity. Meanwhile, Renard and his two henchmen, Curly and Thudd, got away in a high-powered car, and along their way to the Conway turnpike, a deserted stretch of road where they planned

to intercept the car carrying Henry Benson and his guards. Ken's and Perry White are back in the latter's office at the Daily Planet. White is nursing a badly swollen jaw and complaining bitterly about it.

Listen. You still don't see what rate you had to fall off and suddenly. I can't even talk. Sorry, Mr. White, but it was the only way. You wanted to jump out the window. Certainly a slightly painful jaw is better than a couple of broken legs.

I wonder. Who would you hit me with, a sledgehammer? No, just my fist. It's for your own good. Next time, trying not to be so good to me. Oh. Well, just keep that ice bag on the swelling.
