Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Gosh! 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 reach tall buildings of a single bound, rates of feeding bullet to its target, sends steel in his bare hands, and who disguise this far-kemp, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

But before we join Superman, listen. And now to our story. Superman, in the guise of Clark Kent, is now trying to unravel one of the most baffling mysteries he has ever encountered, a mystery which certainly seems to have no solution.

Let's join Kent and Lois in their office at the Daily Planet immediately. A strange conversation is taking place, A conversation apparently without rhyme or reason. Listen. Oh wait a minute, you mean to stand there and tell me you haven't seen me in two days?

Of course I haven't seen you in two days. But you were talking to me right here in this office only half an hour ago. I couldn't have been. Crop, what's the matter with you? Why won't you understand what I'm trying to tell you?

Because I can't believe it. It doesn't make sense. More than that, it's the craziest thing I've ran up against. Half an hour ago, you sat right there in that chair, refusing to admit that something did happen to you on the train.

That you did disappear off that train between Walden Junction and Metropolis. I refused to admit it. Who certainly did? You also refused to admit that you had made any telephone calls demanding $20,000. But I did make those calls.
