Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! It's a shock! It's a bird, 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 those of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings of a single bound, races feeding bullet to its targets, then seen in his bare hands. in his bare hands, and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice.

But before we join Superman, listen. And now to our story. Having returned from a perilous adventure with the lost nation of the Inca Indian, Clark Kent, in reality, Superman, has again been enlisted by the government to aid in the all-out battle for freedom.

But this time, Kent's assignment is cloaked in secrecy. Only one man knows of his appointment as a special agent in the espionage division of the Secret Service, and that man is Terry White, editor of the Daily Planet.

There are sinister forces at work, forces seeking to undermine and destroy the industry's vital to the defense of our nations. Like venomous snakes, they strike in the shadow of darkness, a boat sinks that it's dark, an explosion wrecks the munitions plant, a deadly fire levels an entire shipyard, and and the fate of freedom have struck them within.

To wipe them out is Clark Kent's job, but even he has no idea of what is in store for him. Even he is unaware that for once, the amazing powers of Superman are going to be put to a test.

Our story begins behind the gray stone walls of the state prison. In a corner of the electrical shop, two men are bent over an electric motor pretending to repair it. The older of the two is a man Clark Kent exposed and sent to jail.
