Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Guys, look at the plane! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman screams visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, and who fights a never-ending battle against crime and injustice disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper.

Taking around the worldfrues on the Clara M, last of the old quipper ships, Far Kent and Jimmy Olsen have met with them very baffling adventures. In our last episode, we overheard with Kent a strange conversation between Keek Barnaby, the teg-legged first mate, and one of the crew, a conversation which told us that the crew were working for Barnaby,

I've approved but isn't the spirit of a whistling seaman who was washed over bored years ago like T. Barnaby says, Yeah, I gotta put myself together and follow that whistle. This is moving up forward. It's kind of eerie out here.

I better go get Mr. Candace. But if I do that the whistle may stop the way I did the first time we heard it. Better. Wait. Does somebody climb up into the rig? You! Stop! Stop where you are!
