What happens
Candy Meyers, a private detective, and reporter Clark Kent, who is secretly Superman, pursue contractor Mike Ricky over a subway tunnel that collapsed, killing many people. Clark is convinced Ricky cheated on the building specifications and attacked Jimmy Olsen and Candy.

Meanwhile Clark has taken concrete samples to the laboratory and learns Candy has gone off alone to confront Ricky. This is part eight of The Adventures of Superman, a radio series from 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.
