Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! 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 bound, Brace a feeding bullet to its target, then steal 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 join Superman, listen. And now to our story. Ignoring the warning of the old prospector, hopeful Jake, to steer clear of dead man's gosh, a deserted ghost town, Kent, tumbleweed, and Jimmy went there in search of a clue to the puzzling verse engraved on an old silver arrow Jimmy had found.
Hopeful Jake had told them of a legendary western Robin Hood, no one only has the Silver Arrow, who hunted down bandits and shot Silver Arrows into their backs. At Dead Man's Gulch, Jimmy went to look for water.
Suddenly, a piercing scream broke the death-like silence of the ghost town. Kent and sumbleweed raced to Jimmy's rescue, only to find impale and transfect. He had seen a figure darting between the dust-laden skeletons of the town shacks.
When he called out, he stopped for a moment, screamed, and vanished into the shadows. A thorough search of the deserted shacks revealed no sign of man or beast. Puzzles, Kent and Tumbleweed rested for a moment on the steps of what had once been the sheriff's office.
Listen. You say you saw whatever screams Jimmy? What does it look like? I couldn't tell the sun was in my eyes. It was just a blur. It might have been a coyote. No coyote ever screamed like that. It was a human voice.
