Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! God! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman! Trained visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
Superman, who can lead tall buildings of a single bound, graces feeding bullets to its targets, then seal 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.
But before we joined Superman, listen. And now to our story. As you remember, the yellow mask, posing as a government representative, made use of forged credentials to gain access to the laboratory of Wallace Thornton, designer of a radio-controlled mechanical man.
Holding Thornton at gunpoint, the mask broke into a safe and removed the blueprint, showing how the mechanical man was constructed. But Thornton, in a last desperate attempt to prevent the theft, turned a dial on the control panel and set the giant steel robot in motion.
Unable to stop it after slugging Thornton with the butt of his gun, the mask fled. Meanwhile, the mechanical man driven by radio impulses walked through a wall of the building and kept going, leveling everything in its path and terrifying every man, woman and child.
When last seen, the huge metal monster was headed for an orphanage farm in the suburb of of the tropolis traveling in the same direction are Clark Kent and Lois Lane star reporters for the Daily Planet assigned to get a story on the mechanical man. This mechanical man doesn't talk anything more than a joke or
an optical illusion. It's hard to say Lois. Leads is generally pretty reliable. He said he'd seen it. I get cold sugar thinking about it. Just imagine an army of mechanical men solid lines of steel and million human tanks that nothing could Stop.
