Presenting the transcription feature, Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! Superman! And now Superman, strange visitor from the planet Krypton, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, and who disguised as Clark Kent, Miles Man of Reporter, for a great metaphor of the newspaper, wages a never-ending battle for truth and justice.
When we last saw Ken, he and Jimmy Olsen were being held at gunpoint in the cabin of a foreign agent, a board a ship loaded with nitrates bound from Panama to the United States. With them are two English passengers, Dr. Michael Barrington and his daughter, June. The ship is to be sunk at midnight, and as time passes, Kent realizes that in order to save the lives of all on board, you will have to assume the role of Superman, even though it means revealing his double identity.
Then suddenly a ray of hope cleans. Young Pog Flanagan forgotten in the excitement has gone to the captain with a report that Kent and Jimmy are missing. That something strange is going on aboard the ship.
But the foreign agent leaving his henchman hunts to guard our friend has followed Pog to the captain's quarters disguised as an elderly lady. Listen. What's that? Someone is knocking at the door. Good evening, sir.
Where is Nurti, then y'all? Oh, there you are. Oh, me? Here's... We have been looking for you. We are having a little park in my cabin. Mr. Kent is there in a chimney. Long Bay!
We sent one waiter to find you, but he said she refused to come. You see, it is nothing at all. You mean the same as the Kent and Jimmer in your cabin? We are having a lovely time.
