Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! I'm gonna die! Don't get the pain! 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 to the single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target, and who disguise as Clark Kent's mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, wages are never ending battle for truth and justice.

When Kent, Jimmy Olsen and young Prudg and Flanagan took passage on a boat from Panama to the United States, they never realized what was in store for them. But at this very moment, Kent and Jimmy are trapped in the cabin of a foreign agent who has masqueraded a board ship as an elderly lady.

With them are two other passengers, Dr. Michael Barrington, an English surgeon, and his daughter, June. Only Pugg, recovering from a slight accident in his own cabin, has escaped a capture by the agent and his henchmen hunt.

Things look very dark for Kent and his friends. To become Superman and save the situation would be to reveal his double identity to Jimmy and the others. What can he possibly do? Listen. Stand against the wall, all of you.

I have a very nervous finger on the trigger of his gun. Better do it, folks. All right, Ken. Oh, this is Ken. I'm close to the door. Yeah. Good. Lock it. Now open that suitcase and set up the portable wireless.

You will try to make contact. Very good. Now, my friend. What do you mean, friend? What part of a game do you think you're playing? It is far from a game. Believe me, I deeply regret having to call any of you embarrassment, but unfortunately, you brought it on yourself by virtue of your own curiosity.
