Presenting the Transcription features Superman! Up in the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a train! It's Superman! And now Superman, champion of the week and the oppressed, valiant fighter for truth and justice, faster than an airplane, stronger than a locomotive, who came to Earth from interstellar space to walk the Earth disguised as mild Clark Kent, used reporter for the Daily Planet.
sent to search for Alonzo Craig, famous explorer who has been missing for over three years. Clark Kent is in the wilds of Elsmere land in the far north, with Professor Peters and Captain Mike Walter navigator.
Hearing that Craig has been captured by Indians, I have penetrated to the sunken temple of the Cunalaka, far down in the ice beneath the valley of the cliff. Where the witch doctor who never dies, keeps watch over the mysterious treasure of the tribe.
and the last two men, Kent, as Superman, had overpowered the witch doctor, only to make the incredible discovery that the witch doctor was a long-go-crag himself. The explorer, evidently the method, had framed unconsciousness and made good escape of the twisting cavern device.
As our story continues to day an hour as passed, Captain Walder has been set up to the surface to bring back food and lanterns. Kent and Professor Peter have been a fire and are anxiously awaiting his return.
Listen. You notice where we have our fire built, Kent, apparently on the altar of the temple. What about it? There seems to be an empire here before that accounts to the wood. I don't know what they do down here.
Oh, native rituals, dances, something that's all I imagine, possibly in connection with the treasure. I wonder if Ray Martin was right. There really is any treasure. Find the lungs of Craig, Kent. Find out how he was turned from a man in the time of life into the witch-doctor of the Koonalaka.
