Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! 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 at a single bound, brace a speeding bullet to its targets, then steal in its bare hands, and who disguise this far-kemp, 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. When Lois Lane, jealous of Clark Kent's connection with the Secret Service, attempted to run down in Espionage Ring single-handed, trouble began. As Mattestant now, Lois is a prisoner in a seemingly deserted factory some miles from the city of Metropolis.
There, Max Heller, leader of the foreign agents and the yellow mask is newfound henchmen, henchmen are supervising the construction of an army of huge mechanical men, radio-controlled monsters designed to create panic and destruction, unable to make contact with his penthouse headquarters in Metropolis, even by secret shortwave wireless, Max Heller suspects the place has been raided
and some of his best men rounded up. Believing Lois to be a secret service operative, he attempts to question her, seeking to learn how much the government knows about his activities. Failing in that, Heller issues a threat. Unless Lois talks, the first of the steel monsters will be sent to deposit incendiary bombs in a nearby shipyard.
Terrified, Lois looks on as Hela presses a button on the radio control panel. Slowly, the mechanical giant lumbus towards the open doors. Its blood red eyes blinking horribly. The mechanical voice with which Hela has equipped it, rumbling from somewhere inside its steel body.
