Presenting the Transcription feature, Superman! God! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman! Yes, it's Superman! Strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can leap tall buildings of a single bow, brings a speeding bullet to its target, then steel in his bare hands. And who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth and justice.

But before we joined Superman, listen. And now to our story. When Clark Kent went to the cookhouse to get a sandwich for Jimmy Olsen, he found Chuck Connors, the foreman of Tumbleweed's oil field, talking on the telephone, and plotting the destruction of Tumbleweed's tank trucks.

Forcing the details of the plot from Connors, Kent trusts him up and as Superman, sped to Tumbleweed's rescue, arriving just in time to stop the dislod to balancing rock from crushing the trucks. Back at the ranch, Jimmy, tired of waiting for Clark Kent, went to the cookhouse, where he found Chuck Connors and innocently liberated him.

Suggesting that they go in search of Kent on horseback, Chuck lured Jimmy to the corral, where he mounted the boy on a wild, unbroken Mustang, tied him securely to the saddle, and sent the angry animal galloping furiously off across the maser with his helpless, terrified rider.

Listen. Oh, boy. Whoa. Gosh. I don't know what to do. I'm scared. I can't control this wild horse. Oh, fucking like mad. Whoa. Whoa, stop. Racing again now. I can only stop. I can't get my arms loose.

Whoa. Whoa, boy. Whoa. Can't budge. Picking water, heading to the edge of the cliff. He'll never see any time to stop. For what he kills. Help. Mr. Can. Stop the week. Meanwhile, unaware of Jimmy's plight, Superman speaks back to the ranch after having saved tumbleweed's trucks from destruction.
