| 0:00.0 | The late, the great, the champion of her kind, Ms. Nellie Bly. |
| 0:10.0 | Known for her exploits into the unknown, Nellie wowed her readers with amazing tales of fantastic feats and formidable foes. |
| 0:18.6 | Of course, some of those foes were her own bitter rivals, |

| 1:35.0 | and agitator Emma Goldman. She followed the adventures of the rootin-tootin-shooting wild women writers of Buffalo Bill Cody's traveling show. |
| 1:47.2 | And just for the sake of a newspaper story, she even tried her hand at... |
