Transcript

Presenting the transcription feature Superman Now Superman Superman had left the blazing inferno of Stone House and gone winging his way back over the sound toward the rect auto gyro of the Indian priests who had recovered the emerald of the Incas from Dr. George Haven Beacham, world famous scientist and explorer and set fire to his temporary home

remaining on the grounds of Stone House to watch the blaze someone help. Dr. Beechem and his daughter Elsie had both made startling and important discoveries. As our story continues today, we find them in a small car racing toward a distant airport, hoping against hope to get there in time. Listen.

Watch out. Here's a girl. Elsie, you almost hit that car. Oh, Dad, it's all right. Look here. That thing you picked up on the lawn. You hardly tell me about it at all. Providence, you'll simply providentially if we can only find those native priests.

So what do you do? I'll show them what I found, the sacred amulet of the head priest. Almost as sacred as the Emerald itself has seen, not quite, but almost. And you really think you can bargain with it?

Only if I can get there, only if we can make the airport before they can take off in their plane. Dad, what will you do? I'll return the amulet and borrow the emerald. That's all I want of it. I don't mean to keep it. I never intended that.

Dad, the emerald. Is it really as important as all that? Yes, Seltz, I've told you once and I'll tell you again. If I can recover the emerald of the Incas and decipher the writing carved on its base, I may have found the secret of life itself.
