Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Up in the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now, Superman! When we last saw Clark Kent, he was in the midst of a baffling mystery.

Waiting at the hospital to interview the girl he had saved in the nick of time from a burning building, he had heard a scream. Two men, forcing us the girl's relatives, had visited her room, stabbed her, and suddenly vanished.

Today, as our story continues, some time has passed. The girl's injury proved not to be serious, and she is now well enough to give Clark Kent his interview, though nervous and upset. As her story approaches its climax, she becomes more and more excited.

Listen. Mr. Kent, when I woke up here in the hospital, the first thing I saw, the very first thing with those two faces bending over my bed, Bartley Pemberton and Joseph D'Neen. They're the ones who tried to kill you?

But they're the head officers of the North Star Mining Company. Of course they are, don't you understand? Mr. Kent, I was their office secretary. About two months ago I found out what they were doing.

Mr. Kent, they weren't honest, they were swimmers. They sold people stock in a mine out west, a mine with no gold in it. Go on, Miss Anderson, if you're not too tired. I want you to know what happened.

I found some letters and some secret diagrams and maps. And then came the morning of the fire. Yes, go on. I got down to the office early that morning and began going through his days.

I was in his office all alone. I knew I had at least an hour before he got in. I stood there, opening and shutting draws, all the time I didn't have any idea that there was somebody watching him in the closet.
