What happens
Superman, weakened after his defeat by Henry Miller, the Atom Man, is taken away by his wife Clark Kent, who believes he is suffering a breakdown. Miller, desperate to regain his atomic power, has a last piece of Kryptonite dissolved in a hidden attic laboratory by Joseph Bush, a German chemist. Sidney, his accomplice, nervously tends to him as the experiment begins. When Miller revives, he feels his power returning and vows to destroy Metropolis within the hour. The story continues with Miller and Sidney planning how to finish off Superman, drawing on a scheme once suggested by the late Tovel.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
