Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Look at the guy! Look! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman, strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, and who disguised as Clark Kent, Miles Manadry Porter for a great metropolitan newspaper, wages a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

In our last episode, we learned how young Pug Flanagan, in a daring attempt to help Kent and Jimmy Olsen escape from the cabin, where they were held by a foreign agent, climbed down a rope suspended over the side of the ship, armed only with a nail and a rubber band.

Fortunately, the cabin's porthole was open. The clinging to the swaying rope, Pug shot the nail at the single light bulb, burning in the cabin, shattering it into a million fragments and throwing the room into darkness.

Shuts rang out as Kent, making use of the dock to become Superman, hurled himself at the foreign agent. Meanwhile, Parg, his work done, started up the rope hand over hand. For the shots had reached the ears of the Asian henchmen, a man named Hunt, stationed on deck.

Quickly he ran to the rail where Pargatide went into the rope. In the glare of a flashlight he recognized Parg climbing up. Whipping out a knife he began to hack at the strands, trying to cut the rope.

Listen. You boy! Now you're climbing any higher, I am cutting the rope. No, no! And then I do you went drop into the sea. Please! Please! Do like my boy! Yes! There it goes! Lightning leaves the black sky and thunder crashes As Pargone able to swim, drops like a plummet into the raging Stormswept sea
