Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! God! 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 reach all buildings of a single bound, race a speeding bullet to its targets, tend, steal in his bare hands, and who disguise this Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

And now to our story. As you remember, Clark Kent and Jimmy Orson, traveling by dark sleds through the Northwood and planning to cross the border into Canada, dumble into a mysterious adventure their first night out. Two hard-bitten men, known to us only as Bull and Chuck, have been engaged in the smuggling of

valuable mink furs from Canada to the United States, making use of an airplane to drop large bundles of the skins near their shack in the woods. But Kent and Jimmy soon found out what was brewing and decided to investigate. They found one of the bundles that had been dropped from the plane the night before and dragged it back to their camp and a clearing. Ball, the leader of the

smuggling gang, aware that Kent has the first and suspecting him of being a government agent, plans to strike back. So Chuck, his henchmen, had started for the clearing where Kent, Jimmy, and their guide, Batiste, have camped. Chuck has orders to pretend to give himself up, lead Kent back to the shack, and in that way give Bull a chance to get Jimmy and the

feast while they're alone. At the moment, Kent has no knowledge of the steam. He and Jimmy and their French-Canadian guides are grouped around the bundle of furs admiring them. Listen. How much did you say they were worth, Betty?
