What happens

Clark Kent and Lois Lane search for Jimmy Olsen, who was seized by men at a collapsed subway tube and forced into a car. Kent suspects a link to detective Candy Myers, who was beaten after investigating the cave-in, and to a city official who has left town on vacation. Myers was about to tell what he knew but disappeared from the hospital. Mayor Marshall helps Kent by phone while Myers is traced to a drugstore on Market Street, and Superman rushes to find him. The episode is from The Adventures of Superman, first aired August 26, 1946.

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.
