Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Guys, come! It's a bird! It's Superman! And now Superman, champion of the week and the oppressed. Trains visitor from the planet Krypton who can leap tall buildings of the single bound, place a speeding bullet to a target, and who mingles with ordinary men, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for the daily planet.
When Kent is Superman, help Professor A.B. Thorpe, Elderly and better of a new diving bell, bring up two million in gold from a sunken Spanish ship at the bottom of Octopus Bay in the Caribbean.
He thought the adventure was over. That night, a half-breed up parado named P. Death Cabar and her henchman Carlos boarded the ship, stabbed Maddox the captain, and stole the gold. The Maddox dying and in dire need of medical attention, Superman left the professor ship to Juanita and brought the injured captain to Dr. Corralgos Halton Manau.
Our story continues today. Kent and young Jimmy Olsen, daily planet copy boy, are standing on a dock, watching the Juanita head for the narrow channel that leads into Manau Harbor. Neither of them know that P.S. Cobar and Carlos have planted underwater mines across the channel to blow Professor Thorpe's ship, Skye High.
Listen. You're going for me, Ticcan? Oh, Father, we just announced that she's coming into the harbor. Oh. I'm sorry, now. Remember, Jimmy, don't mention that hotel fire to Professor Thorpe. Why is that too important?
Well, it's not terribly important, but I just don't want to add to Professor Solf's worry. Yes. After all, if he knew that you and Bill Wentworth were almost friend of death by Essevar and his gang, well, he'd feel as though he were responsible for it.
