Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Guys, come get your bag! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman, trained visitor from another world whose physical powers are far beyond those of muscle men. And the wages are never ending battle against crime and oppression, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.

Puffled by the uncanny disappearance of five huge transport planes, all of which were carrying collections of precious gems to the National Jewelry Exposition, Kent and Young Jimmy Olsen, copied by On The Paper, found their way to a 30-story abandoned skyscraper, the Parkway Tower, located on a weed-grown field of mile from the airport.

As they near the entrance, a young woman whom they had met before in connection with the stolen jewels came out carrying a suitcase. Kent stopped her, but she drew a gun, warned him not to move and vanish into the fogbound night.

leaving Jimmy behind, Kent followed her and snapped her gun away. Right when she turned and ran, suddenly a scream night out of the darkness and the girl disappeared before Superman's amazed eyes. Listen. It's gone.

Spanish. Had a sign of her out here. What's that? Quick, got there she is. Caught in a huge quick sand hole. Striking her down. Don't, go, go! I'll get you out. Hope I can get out myself.

I've got a few feet. I'm just saying it. I'm gonna work my way back to the toilet earth. It won't be easy. I need all my strength. Getting there. Slowly. Now. Ah, I made it.

I'm not that much. Mr. Ken! Mr. Ken, where are you? I can't let Jimmy see me as Superman. Not at a time like this. I might put two and two together. I'll change back to Ken.
