Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Now Superman, strange visitor from the destroyed planet Krypton, who has dedicated his existence on Earth to championing the weak and the oppressed. Superman, valiant fighter for truth and justice, who mingles with ordinary men disguised as mild-mannered Clark Kent, news reporter for the Daily Planet.
If you remember, Clark Kent and Lois Lane were sent to the manufacturing town of Millville of Melville by editor Kerry White to investigate a mysterious explosion in Hans Holbein's Dau factory, an explosion that took a toll of 13 lives.
Kent, as Superman, discovered the cause of the catastrophe and enlisted the aid of the Melville chief of police to bring Holbein and his helper Joe to justice. But the one mistake Superman made was to separate from Lois Lane and the police chief in his search for Holbein. When Superman returned to Holbein's house he
found the chief to barely hurt from a blow on the head and Lois Lane missing together with Holbein and Joe. As our story opens today editor Perry White who has come to Melville in response to Clark Kent's urgent call is seated in the waiting room of the Melville hospital with Kent waiting to talk to the chief of
police. Dr. Parker wanted his surgery. Dr. Parker wanted his surgery. And I don't understand it. It's like a mad dream a nightmare. If I thought for one moment that you and Lois were going to run into anything like this. I never would have sent you up here. Never. Oh, it wasn't your fault, Mr. White. Who could have suspected
that Holbein was packing a dangerous high explosive inside his dogs? He still can't believe it. You saw one of the dolls. They were all alike. Each one contained a metal cylinder filled with some new explosive. Just a few grains of it almost blew up the police chief's desk.
