Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Guys, look! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman, valiant fighter for truth and justice, who came to earth from the destroyed planet Krypton, for sip a physical structure never before attained by mortal men.
Superman, who is stronger than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet. And to walk about among ordinary men, this guy is just mild at Clark Kent, reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. As you remember, Kent and Jimmy Olsen were returning home on the Cracked Thunderbolt Express, an package of world-famous jewels stolen from a national exposition with Harold's Row window of the car.
And the resulting confusion Kent secretly recovered the jewel, but almost at once, from little startling developments. First, the package was apparently intended for a mysterious girl sitting beside the shattered window. And second, the yellow mass, dangerous international criminal, is also after the duels.
Breaking on Jimmy, whom Kent has left alone in a compartment, the mask forced the boy to give up the packet. Just as the mysterious girl appeared behind him with a revolver, relieved him of his plunder and vanished.
Returning Kent found Jimmy in high spirits. He had given the mask an empty package. The precious duels were still in his pocket. And now the mask and the girl are both off the train and out of the way.
But are they? The train roars through the night. Jimmy and Kent sit chatting in the brightly light of compartment. Listen. Jimmy, I still can't quite believe it. Would you mind telling me again just how it happened?
Darling, Mr. Kent, I hardly know myself. What made you take the jewels out of the package and put them in your pocket? Gosh, I don't know. I guess it was just a hunch. You're wasting your talents, Jimmy.
