Transcript

Presenting the French-cription feature, Superman! When the sky is the first, 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 balls of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings of a 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.

And now to our story. Lure to the hideout of Duke Renard by two men masquerading as police officers, Clark Kent and editor Perry White find themselves handcuffed prisoners in a dingy room on the outskirts of Macropolis.

Renard, on orders from someone higher up known as the Big Guy, has plotted the killing of Henry Benson, former city treasurer, jailed for a million-dollar shortage. is to be transferred from the city jail to the state prison at nine o'clock tonight.

Two of Duke Renard's men, Curly and Spud, have been assigned to stop the car carrying Benson and get rid of him, to keep him from talking. Both Kent and White are aware of the plot but through some mysterious channel, Renard has been informed of their knowledge and plans to hold them until after the job is done. Kent, unable to act as Superman because of Perry White's

presence, is forced to submit to temporary imprisonment. However, on the slim chance that his inventor friend Dr. Walter Robling has his amazing voice machine tuned into the location of Renard's hideout can't send him a message. Listen.

Dr. Robling? Dr. Robling. Mr. Wyverny and I are being held prisoners on the second floor of a frame house at 10th Street and Marlow Avenue. Inform the police at once. I do not care. Who do you think you're talking to?
