Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! That was nice! Look in the face! It's a plane! It's Superman! Superman! And now Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, who fight the never ending battle against crime and injustice, disguised as Clark Kent, miled man of reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.

Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen are now on around the world cruise aboard the Clara M, last of the clipper ships. Already, only a few days out, many strange and baffling adventures have befallen them, adventures which seem to have no answer.

Superman and the guys of Clark Kent have discovered many odd things aboard ship, with his keeping an eye particularly on the first mate, Teak Barnaby, so called because he wears a peg leg made of teak wood.
