Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! The sky! The Earth, it's a plane, it's Superman! Yet 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 target, then 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.
But before we joined Superman, listen. And now to our story. When Clark Kent tricked the Inca Indians into believing they had killed Peri White and the American engineer John Craig, he returned to the Inca Palace and slipping into the huge council chamber hid behind a curtain on the balcony.
His plan was to somehow gain an audience with Nehru supreme chief of the Incanation in the hope of gaining his friendship and incidentally his permission to build a trans hemisphere highway over Tupan-Gotho Mountains. As Kent looked down on the Council Room, a massive door opened and Nehru entered, accompanied by Lumati, one of his chiefs.
Listen. He is not the weak Council of Howard, you know, mid-Sneru, rather be guided by our own knowing instinct. You mean Lumati that the white men should die? Yes, Nehru, I do. I believe they menace our civilization.
We will not be safe until they are done away with it. But Kuber, the other's day we have no right to kill. Consider, Niro, how 400 years ago, our people fled to this secluded spot to escape the murderous weapons of white men such as these.
Think what will happen when there at cursed road is filled through our sacred mountain. Choose, Niro, between the welfare of our nation and the lives of these whites. You are free, Lumiati, as the most eloquent one.
