Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! It's gone! 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 balls of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings to the single bow, prays a speeding bullet to its target, sends steel in his bare hands, and who disguise this Clark Kent, Miles-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 editor Perry White were lured to the Cita Crest Sanatorium and imprisoned in a soundproof oxygen chamber. A man's voice, strangely familiar to Kent, assured them no harm would come to them, but that they would have to remain in the chamber until late Saturday night.

And rage, Perry White kept his finger glued to a push button that rang a bell somewhere in the huge stone house. Worn to stop and the threat of being gassed by the hatchet-faced woman who had admitted them to the sanatorium, white refused.

Immediately a sleep-producing gas began pouring into the chamber. White took his finger off the push button and the gas stopped. Clark hint, realizing that if Periwite were unconscious he could force the steel door as Superman deliberately continued to press the bell button, despite White's choking demands that he stopped.

We join them now, gas is still pouring into the chamber. As Ken continues to ring the bell, and Harry White has dropped to his knees fighting for breath. Listen. I can't fool those, huh? That's well-aweaked with your head, aye?

Listen, Mr. Beeth, I can burn at you. I did. I did that. If you continue to ring that bell, you can't frighten me. You can't. Your legs are becoming like water. Second small.
