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 to the single bound, grace of feeding bullet to its target, ten steel in his bare hands, and who decides this Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights and never-ending battles for truth and justice.

And now to our story. When a tribe of savage Central American Indians attacked the rubber plantation where he was staying, Clark Kent has Superman successfully beat them off, only to discover that a poison dart had struck John Carter the plantation manager. At the point of death, Carter gasped that the Indians were the only ones who had an antidote to

the poison. Strange enough, the same Indians, the novans, also possessed the antidote to of a brain-numbing potion that had been given the players on the Metropolis football team, the antidote for which Kent had come to the jungle.

He caught his life slowly, ending away, Kent had to think fast. Before the battle with the savages it started, he had been forced to knock out a local white derelict known as Pangal Pete and deposit him in the back of a truck.

Pangal Pete was known to be friendly with the Indians and was Kent's thoughts that in this emergency he might be of help, but when he reached the truck Kent found it empty. He paraded with a derelict shack, empty.

Far off in the distance, echoing out of the dark, matter-depth of the jungle, he could hear the beat of the noir-wan tom-tos. The precious minutes were slipping away, making use of Superman's amazing power of life.
