Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Up in the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman, mighty visitor from the destroyed planet Krypton, who has appeared on Earth as the champion of the weak and the oppressed.
Faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, with a physical structure never before realized by mortal men. Superman goes about among human beings as mild Clark Kent, water for the daily planet. When we last saw him, Superman was on the trail of the Gyptanelli gang, Petty Racketeers, who had escaped from town after capturing Lois
Lane, feature writer for the daily planet. While Superman and his character of Clark Kent sped northward toward the gang hideout with editor White and young Jimmy Olsen, a daily planet copy boy. Lois made good her escape from Denelli's cabin in the deep woods, taking with her the evidence of Denelli's guilt, but only to
run into an even greater danger. In leaving the cabin to follow her, Denelian does henchman's spike accidentally knocked over a kerosene stove. And at once the flimsy wooden shack was a massive fire. Denelian's spike raced for their car, leaving Lois to her fate, while tongues of flame licked hungrilly toward the dry wood.
As our story continues today, the racketeers are several miles from the burning cabin headed back to the city, speeding over the rough road in their powerful black sedan. You sure that lame girl took a briefcase with her?
You look for yourself, didn't you? Yeah, it wasn't anywhere in that room. What difference does it make? It's gone, it's gone, ain't it? Yeah, if it's gone. If it ain't, it can make a lot of difference.
