Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature? Superman! Superman! The Doctor dies! Look! It's a plane! It's a plane! It's Superman! And now 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 building to the single bound, race a speeding bullet to its target. And who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild men and reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle against crime and injustice.

When the Clara M, last of the old clipperships was blown up by Pete Barnaby, Kent and his guys of Superman rescued Jimmy Olsen and Pug Flanagan together with most of the crew. He also succeeded in getting possession of the pirate treasure map that has been the cause of all the trouble aboard the Clara M. As our story continues today, Kent, Jimmy and Pug are seated in the

lobby of a small hotel in Panama, awaiting passage on the next boat due to leave the leave the following morning. Listen. We have a touch. That's it. We almost lost our lives on a kind of that treasure map.

Now that you've got it, we're not even going to go look for the treasure. It's not right. Yeah, it's a chip. I'm sorry, Jimmy, but I'm not taking you on any treasure hunt. That's for you, young man.

For me? Yes, you, Pug. Now, lose sight of the fact that you stowed away aboard the Clara M before it left Metropolis. You had no business on the ship in the first place. Yeah, yeah, I know.

But if it wasn't for me, he never would have found that secret compartment. And if you didn't find a secret compartment, you never would have found that mat. No, God. You and every one of the hotels and know we've got a treasure mat?
