Candy reveals that he had been investigating a subway cave-in and holds a photostat showing the engineers warned of a fault in the rock. Meanwhile Jimmy Olsen has been seized by unknown men. Clark and Candy go to City Hall to find Commissioner Clint Morgan, who has suddenly left town, and Clark sends a cryptic message to him through the office. This is part four of The Adventures of Superman, a 1946 radio episode.

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.
