Aboard the Steamship Madison

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Up in the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Mysterious visitor from another world who has appeared on Earth as the champion of the week and the oppressed.

When we last saw Superman in his character of Clark Kent, news reporter for the Daily Planet, he had just learned that the two swindlers, Bartley Pemberton and Joseph Deneen, were heading south in a high-speed cruiser in order to catch up with the Freight Steamer Medicine on her way to Charleston. As our story continues today, Superman is winging his way down the coast,

straining his eyes for the first glimpse of the powerboat or the freighter. But Pemberton and Deneen have caught up with the Madison. Four sharp blasts of their whistle, red rockets, distress signals. And the freighter is motionless in the black water, waiting for the smaller boat to come alongside.

On the deck of the cruiser, Bartley Pemberton gives a last quick order to the man of the wheel. Listen. Pay attention, sailor. Okay, cat. Take a fast part. You're dropping a ladder over the side.

Header in there, sailor. And get this. I'm listening. We're going on board that freighter to get something, you understand? If we don't get it, there may be trouble. Big trouble. So what? So stick around to pick us up.

We'll want to make a fast getaway, so stay close. Ready to beat it. Get set, part. What do we do now? Stand by to grab that ladder, Joe. All right, sailor. Oh, hi, I'm that cruiser.

We're waiting for you. Don't worry. You won't wait long. Go ahead, sailor. Edge in toward that ladder. Alright, Mr. Burns, hold her under a dead slow bell. We see what's wrong with those fellows. Aye, aye, Captain Anderson.
