Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Guys, look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman! Valiant fighter for truth and justice. Mighty champion of the week and the oppressed. Who has appeared on Earth from the destroyed planet Krypton with a physical structure never before attained by mortal men.
Superman, who is stronger than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet. The walks about among other men disguised as mild Clark Kent, reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. As our story opens today, Kent and young Jimmy Olson, Daily Planet Coffee Boy, are returning home from their amazing adventures in the Caribbean Sea.
Some in fact by Perry White, editor of the Daily Planet, they're traveling north in the luxury of a compartment aboard the Thunderbolts, crack streamliner of the Atlantic Railroad. What can't eagerly turn the pages of a late newspaper, while Jimmy looks out the window.
Neither one has a thought of danger, but even as the gleaming flyer slows down for a station, a voice from the past, unheard for months, travels over a secret wavelength. Listen. Coming in the big town, Jimmy.
Three murders and a jewel robbery. Oh, here. You want to see the comic page? I'm not back, Mr. Cancer. What about the baseball scores? I guess so. You're a red hot fan, aren't you? What's so interesting in the scenery?
How are we anyway? We just left a little place called Digbyville. She will address. What's the matter? Look, Mr. Camden. You know, highway that runs right alongside the tracks? Yes. Easy, those two cars? They're racing.
Say, they are traveling fast. I have fastened the train. They've gone right ahead of us. Oh, well, that's just because we just pulled out of a station. And when do we pick up speed? Oh, they've gone.
