Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! God! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! Yes, it's 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 building to the single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target, then steal in his bare hands. And who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.
But before we joined Superman, listen. And now to our stories. When Tumbleweed Jones left the cave of the buffalo bones to fetch the horses, he was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious. A moment later, an avalanche of rocks and earth blocked the entrance to the cave, imprisoning Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen.
But Kent, taking advantage of the absolute darkness to assume his true role of Superman, a man cleared an exit from the cave and with Jimmy started off in search of tumbleweed. In Dead Man's gulp the ghost town near the cave they heard muffled cries and found tumbleweed bound and gagged behind a locked door in one of the
deserted houses. Freeing him they were about to start back to the ranch and they heard a strange something coming from the room above them. As quietly as possible they crept up the creaky old stairs.
Be as quiet as you can. I'm trying. These depths are so creaky. Carefully don't go through him. Them boards is pretty rotten. Here's the top of the stairs. Something is coming from that room on the right.
Stomp! Quiet! It goes again. It's just like it was before. When I was tied up downstairs, starting and stopping every couple of minutes. Look, Tumbleweed. You and Jimmy stand against this wall. I'll try the door.
