Transcript

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 lead tall buildings of a single bound, place a speeding bullet to its target, then steal in its 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.

And now to our story. When we last saw Clark Kent, he had left Jimmy Olsen and Batiste, their French-Canadian guide, in the forest clearing, while he and Chuck, one of the first smuggling gangs, who had given himself up, returned to the gang shack beef in the snow-covered woods.

Unknown to Kent, Chuck was only carrying out a clever plan devised by Bo Raglan, leader of the smuggling gang, a plan to get Kent away from Jimmy and Batiste. The minute Kent disappeared into the forest, Bull entered the clearing, held Jimmy and the piece at gunpoint, forced them to drive the dark sled to a spot some miles away, tied them

hand and foot, and dumped them into a dark cave. Helpless they lay there, wondering whether they would ever be released. Then suddenly the low ominous growl of an animal echoed through the cave, the angry protest of a full grown bear.

Terrified Jimmy stared into the darkness as a huge beast came closer and closer. Meanwhile, Clark Kent, unaware that his friends are in peril, has found the shack empty with no sign of bull. Listen. I thought you told me your boss was here.

Where is he? Well, I don't know, mister. In the cave when I left. Where did you tell him you were going? Well, uh, let's look at him first. Frenchy dropped last night. Frenchy? Who's Frenchy?
