Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Up in the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now Superman, champion of the week and the oppressed, valiant fighter for truth and justice, who is faster than an airplane, stronger than a locomotive.
And who walks the Earth as a man among men in the character of mild Clark Kent, news reporter for the Daily Planet. When we last saw him, Superman as Clark Kent was feeding westward westward in a plane with young Jimmy Oldt, an office boy from the daily planet City Room, and a badly wounded form of Ed Hamlin of the National Air Service.
Another plane followed them and attempted to bring them down with machine gun bullets. With Hamlin badly hurt and young Jimmy at the controls, Superman fought off the mystery ship, and returned to help Jimmy, only to find that a broken oil line had put their own plane in imminent danger of crashing.
As our story continues today, the plane with its motor failing and can't at the control searches desperately for a landing plate in the great darkness below. Listen. What about it now? How are we doing?
