Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Up is the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Now, Superman, when we last saw him, Superman and his character of Clark Kent was at the suburban hideaway of Dr. George Haven Beacham, world famous explorer, with Dr. Beacham and his daughter Elsie. A crashing explosion had brought them racing upstairs to find a section of

the house blown in, and missing from the safe with the mysterious sacred carving, the emerald of the Incas, which the explorer had brought back from his latest expedition to South America. And rising in the moonlight above the trees beyond the house was the fantastic form of an autogirol, as our story continues today several minutes have passed.

Kent is about to leap from the window and follow the vanishing plane when a sudden cry from Elsie makes him turn. Oh, oh. What's better Elsie? What is it? Oh, it's just my ankle eye.

I think I turned this. Oh, here. Take my arm and speech him. Or let me carry you back downstairs. I'm all right. Really I am. Elsie are you sure? I am, truly. My ankle's not even spraying.

Well Doctor, look, if Miss Beecham's really alright, I think it might be better if I tried to get one of the cars outside and follow that autogi roll. Dad, he's right. He is it, I don't know, I can't think.

Doctor, they've got the emerald. If there's a chance of getting it back. How can you do it, Mr. Kent? You don't know which way they've gone. What do you think Doctor? Which way would they go?

It's hard to tell. They might be heading for water. We're almost on the sound. They may have a boat lying offshore. Good. That's it. I'll take a car and follow them. Well then you can't possibly leave you behind in no time.
